Northern Home Energy Assessments
Greener homes update:
Although the Greener Homes grant program co-offered by Enbridge and NRCAN is over for now, there are still several options available through reThink Green to homeowners and homebuilders:
For existing homes and MURBs (Multi Unit Residential Buildings = stacked townhouses, duplexes, triplexes and apartment buildings):
- When you have finished your upgrades, schedule a post retrofit (or E) audit with us even if your original audit was done by another company. You do not need to have the same auditor for both, as many believe.
- Schedule a pre retrofit (or D) energy audit simply to know your house’s GH emission status and to gain advice on where to focus your retrofitting work.
Through that original energy audit, you are still eligible for the 10 year interest free loan for up to $40,000. All of the eligible retrofits are listed here: https://bit.ly/4aPzAZD
For new housing, including MURBs:
- Schedule a Blower Door test for new builds before the home is finished in order to find leakages in the building envelope.
- Hire us to help plan your new build according to the Net Zero rated homes standards that are being built all across Canada.

Complete the Home Energy Audit Assessment Form
This brief form, found here, will give us all the information we need to start booking your Home Energy Audit. Once complete, one of our Registered Energy Advisors will contact you for more specific details and will confirm your audit time and date.
receive initial audit
Our Registered Energy Advisor will come to your house and determine the amount of energy your home consumes, commonly called a ‘baseline.’
Receive report
The Energy Advisor will create an EnerGuide report that will outline your current baseline and make recommendations for improvements.
Complete renovations
The home owner will then complete the renovations and must be sure they keep all receipts for the project completed.
Final audit
Our Energy Advisor will return and verify the renovations have improved your home’s efficiency using the baseline determined in the previous visit.
Submit required documents
With your consent, reThink Green will submit for government and organizational grants you qualify for on your behalf. Documents submitted will include any receipts related to qualifying renovations.
Home Assessment Pricing
One element of the Northern Home Energy Assessment program is that you can receive a grant for the home assessments.
If you complete at least one eligible retrofit recommended in your first audit, submit all required materials, and have a second audit to confirm the changes were made – you could qualify for up to $600 to help cover the costs of the home assessments.
