Energy Audit Program Coming To An End… Again

administrator — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:12:53 +0000

The ecoEnergy program that gives homeowners access to thousands in grant money to upgrade and improve the efficiency of their homes is coming to an end.

This program is quite convoluted due to both the Provincial and Federal Governments flip flopping on both funding and support for the ecoEnergy retrofit. I guess when something is as successful as the ecoEnergy program it makes sense that our Government would work to dismantle it.

Moving from a old tank type hot water system to a tankless will net you 315-375 dollars in rebate money depending on the efficiency of your new tankless. You can also add grants up, so if you change out your old furnace or insulate you walls to R-50, then add 750-1250 dollars to that 375 dollars you received for the tankless. It’s definitely a great opportunity for Canadians to take advantage of.

Having an energy audit on your home shows you the home owner intimate details regarding the walls, roof, equipment, insulation, and efficiency of the place you live and call home. It can provide very useful ways to not only save money but get you access to grants that help offset the cost of the upgrades. The ecoEnergy audit retrofit will once again be cancelled on March 31st 2012.

Canada ecoENERGY — Homeowners can get up to $1,250 in grants from the Canadian government for a new hot water system. The Government of Canada grants up to $5,000 for home energy renovations through the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program, which is in effect until March 31, 2012. Click here for more

Remember not to long ago I talked about how a tankless could be combined with a solar thermal water heater? Well BAM! here are some rebates the Government is offereing that reduce the cost for both the tankless and the solar heater. I wouldn’t expect these to last too long (in fact, around April 2012 is when I would expect to offer to be removed).

New Tankless Grants in Ontario

Ontario Tankless Grants

Its still early but I think its safe to say that the Ontario Government is maintaining its side of the grant money available to home owners. It has been a relatively convoluted situation as some people have received official continuation press releases while others haven’t. Currently we haven’t here at Tankless Water Heaters but today a service provider brought one in for us to view. We will try and have a copy posted up soon.

Grants are back and available to Home owners for tankless water heaters.

If you were kicking yourself for not getting a tankless when the government grants were available then your certainly in luck today.

Call or E-mail us to find out more.

End of Government Grants for Tankless

administrator — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 16:09:40 +0000

Grants End

In a surprise announcement on Thursday April 1 2010, the Federal government suspended the Ecoenergy retrofit program. This program aided homeowners in upgrading their existing HVAC equipment to more energy efficient models, thus reducing greenhouse gases that homes emitted substantially. The program was axed due to its popularity, more than 3 times more Canadians participated than the Government had anticipated. Typical government fashion, lets end anything that is actually working and making a change. This puts more than 2000 energy auditors and countless other support staff out of jobs, and that’s only in Ontario.

Can I Still Get An Audit?

Unfortunately, you can not get an audit anymore. There are no more grants available for tankless water heaters from Federal or Provincial governments.

The Ontario provincial government was matching all grants, this has also ended.

This isnt the end, there will be incentives from companies and manufactures to try and maintain the low entry cost for a tankless water heater.

Check back here as we will be following the situation and posting any updates.

I Have Had My D-Audit, Will I Not Get My Grants?

If you have had your D-Audit but nit your final E-Audit then you are lucky. The Government will still honour all rebates and upgrades that you do. You have until April 1 2011 to perform any upgrades and have your final E-Audit. I would recommend that you look into upgrading as much as you can over the next year, you can get $1500 back on a new furnace and $750 on a tankless water heater, and even more on roof and wall insulation. Your in a good situation, I would definitely take advantage of it.

Is a Tankless Water Heater Even Worth It Now?

Even though you are not able to get the grants for a tankless water heater the cost to benefit is still greater than having and maintaining you conventional tank water heater.

Natural Gas and Electricity prices are only on the rise, any system that can cut their use by over 40% will net you savings.

If you need a loan to purchase a tankless rates are still exceptionally low

Our rental rates haven’t changed, you can still rent a tankless for $39.95 a month

Grant Money Increased By 25%

John — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:57:26 +0000

25% more for a new Tankless

Part of the government’s economic action plan is to boost the eco energy retrofit program that is currently running. The government has increased all available grant money for energy efficient retrofits by 25%. Additionally the program has been expanded with a 300 million dollar increase in funding over the next two years.

You can download the new PDF here

Initially the program gave home owners 18 months to complete all retrofits, perform the E audit and submit files for rebates. This has now been extended and homeowners that are past their 18 month time frame can still perform retrofits and get access to additionally grant money by performing a F-audit.

This is really significant for The Tankless Hot Water Guide as the additionally grant money will further reduce the cost of tankless water heaters for consumers. A tankless with an efficiency of .82% or better will get you 630$ in rebate money. If you decide to go with a condensing tankless water heater the grant money is even better (.94% efficiency or better) this will net you a 750$ cheque from the government.

You cant find a better time to get go out and get a tankless water heater.
