In a series of posts, I have documented my experiences and adventures on installing solar panels and backup batteries. One of the incentives that prompted us to start the project is the new Canada Greener Home Grant, which offers a maximum of $5,000 grant towards certain home projects that are classified as “green”. I also mentioned EnerTest as a great company that chaperoned us the entire process of the Canada Greener Homes Grant.
EnerTest was extremely prompt in organizing and conducting the energy audits, which are required for the grant eligibility. I wanted to thank Nick Crosby from EnerTest who played a very supportive role in guiding our family through this, and sometimes very confusing process.
Knock on wood, but I think today we crossed the last hurdle.
If you are embarking on the same grant, take note that you must perform the first energy audit prior to you getting the work done. This is very important.
You will have to perform a second audit once all the work is completed. Make sure you keep all of your receipts and working documents relating to the work.
I would highly recommend Nick Crosby for the job if you are starting a similar journey that I did. Click on his name to email him.
It certainly feels good that the grant is coming our way in 30 days!
