The deadline for homeowners participating in the Canada Greener Homes Grant program to complete their journey and request a grant is December 31, 2025, 11:59 p.m. (ET). For more information, visit: Deadline notice for Canada Greener Homes Grant participants.
To be eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant, you must complete the entire retrofit journey.
After the retrofits are complete, you must book your post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation.
Schedule a post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation
After the retrofits are complete, contact your service organization or energy advisor to schedule a post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation.
The post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation shows how much energy has been saved and how much greenhouse gas emissions are reduced because of the retrofits.
We recommend using the same service organization you used for your pre-retrofit evaluation for your post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation, if possible. If your current service provider is no longer available, you may switch to a different service provider. If you prefer to or need to use a different organization, ensure the service organization is registered with NRCan by doing a search on the find service organizations for existing homes page.
If you use a different service organization, this may cause delays in getting your post-retrofit evaluation scheduled or completed. It is your responsibility to ensure that all required steps are completed for your grant journey by the deadline.
If you use a different service organization, please update your application in the Canada Greener Homes portal with the new service organization information.

Costs of your home evaluations
The homeowner is responsible to pay up front for the post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation.
Your post-retrofit evaluation may have a different cost than your pre-retrofit evaluation. You can get up to $600 as a maximum contribution for the combined costs of the two evaluations.
Reminders
- You must pay up front for the evaluations
- The maximum grant amount for the two evaluations may not cover the full cost
- You will not receive the pre- or post-retrofit evaluation contribution unless you complete the full Canada Greener Homes Grant process, including installing at least one eligible retrofit
After the post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation, you will receive an email when the service organization has submitted all the necessary information into the Canada Greener Homes portal. You must confirm that this step has been completed by using the Canada Greener Homes portal before you move onto the next step and request your grant.
