ecoENERGY Grants Renewed, REEP Doubles Grants in Kitchener!

The ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program has been renewed for the time period between June 6, 2011 and March 21, 2012. On top of this great news, REEP Kitchener Home Energy Grants are now available for insulation and air sealing of Kitchener homes built before 1970.

REEP Kitchener Home Energy Grants are available through REEP’s Kitchener Home Energy Grants program, offered in partnership with the City of Kitchener’s Local Environmental Action Fund (LEAF).  Kitchener incentives will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the time of the follow-up evaluation. Grants will be available until the funding has been used up.

Register on the Natural Resources Canada website and then book an energy evaluation with REEP before you start your renovations.  Kitchener Utilities covers part of the cost of your evaluation.

For more information visit the REEP Kitchener Home Energy Grants webpage.
