CANADA GREENER HOMES LOAN
The Canada Greener Homes Loan from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is a new interest-free financing program that supports homeowners to make energy efficient retrofits.
​
Homeowners are eligible for a loan (unsecured personal loan on approved credit) amount between $5,000 – $40,000 through this program. Only one loan is available per eligible property and homeowner, and it can be repaid over a period of 10 years.
​
The loan can only help you finance eligible products and installations that are part of a retrofit that is both recommended by an energy advisor and eligible for the grant.
​
An advance portion (up to 15%) of the loan total is available to engage contractors and begin retrofit work at your home. The full sum will be made available after verification through a post-retrofit energy audit.
