Starting November 15, 2024, disruption of Canada Post services
Due to the labour disruption at Canada Post, homeowners who would be receiving a cheque from the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program, the Canada Greener Homes Grant and the Canada Heat Pump Bonus, as well as offline applicants who are expecting written communications from the Canada Greener Homes Initiative should expect delays.
We invite you to visit the Canada Post website for the latest information and service updates.

Nova Scotia homeowners with active applications must continue through Efficiency Nova Scotia’s Home Energy Assessment (HEA) program to continue their journey.
As of March 13, 2023, Efficiency Nova Scotia is processing NRCan’s Canada Greener Homes Grant through its Home Energy Assessment (HEA) program for Nova Scotia residents.
NRCan has not approved any third parties to make unsolicited contact with homeowners to register for or participate in the Canada Greener Homes Grant. The Government of Canada, NRCan and its family of brands (ENERGY STAR®, EnerGuide) never solicit over the telephone, or by email or go door-to-door asking to enter Canadians’ homes to inspect, sell, or rent heating and cooling products. EnerGuide home energy evaluations are performed by licensed service organizations only at the request of homeowners. Learn how to recognize energy scams.
The Canada Greener Homes Loan offers interest-free loans of up to $40,000 to help Canadians make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable. Homeowners are required to complete a pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation to participate in the program. Only retrofits that are recommended by an energy advisor and that have not yet been started are eligible.
