Energy grants

Update:

It should be noted that as of March 2010 the Energuide Grant program was put on hold by the Government and NO NEW EVALUATIONS CAN BE BOOKED. If your pre-evaluation was booked before this date you are fine. However, if you are still interested phone an energuide grant evaluation company and they can put you on a waiting list if the program comes back. If you have already booked your pre-evaluation and/or are waiting on your post evaluation read below.

Grants:

The Governments energy grants are really geared toward attic insulation, as the majority of homes built before 1980 had R-20 or, in most cases less insulation put in the attic. By topping up to R-50 the energuide grants are so generous they essentially pay for the cost of getting it done, and in some cases giving you extra money over the cost. So, basically you can actually “get paid” to have a professional insulate your attic!

Thinking of ways to make your home more energy-efficient? Here’s what you can do to reduce your energy consumption and receive grants through ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes.
The grant is calculated and based on the grant amounts and eligibility requirements that are in effect at the time of the post-retrofit evaluation. You must complete your retrofits and receive your post-retrofit evaluation by March 31, 2011, or within 18 months from the date of your pre-retrofit evaluation report, whichever comes first and subject to available funding.

Below is the Grant table for the federal government, remember that the government of Saskatchewan also contributes so these numbers will be higher yet!

A minimum of 20 percent of the total ceiling area must be insulated to qualify. When the roof has more than one type (i.e. attic, cathedral ceiling, flat roof), all applicable grants are pro-rated based on the ceiling area that is insulated. The maximum grant for any combination of attic, cathedral ceiling and flat roof is $750. Grants listed reflect 100 percent of the ceiling area being of one roof type.

Increasing the insulation value of:	R-12 and less	Greater than R-12 and up to R-25	Greater than R-25 and up to r-35
Your attic to achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 7 (R-40)	$500	$250	N/A
Your attic to achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 8.8 (R-50)	$750	$375	$125
Your flat roof and/or cathedral ceiling to achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 5 (R-28)	$750	$250	N/A

Add a minimum insulation value of RSI 1.8 (R-10) to your uninsulated flat roof and/or cathedral ceiling and qualify for a grant of $500.
