Greener homes program:INSULATION
ATTICS
Important:
The total amount of your grant will be calculated based on the total percentage of your attic that you choose to insulate. For example, if you insulate 80% of your attic you would qualify for 80% of the amount listed below.
The total grant for any combination of attic, cathedral ceiling and flat roof insulation cannot exceed $1,800.
The grant amounts reflect a situation where 100% of the ceiling area is one roof type. Your home may have a combination of ceiling types.
Eligibility criteria for a grant:
Add insulation in the same location (e.g., attic floor vs. attic ceiling) as the insulation present at the time of the pre-retrofit evaluation.
Insulate a minimum of 20% of the total area of your attic or ceiling.
Insulate a minimum of 20% of the total area of your attic or ceiling.
GRANT AMOUNTS: (by the level of additional insulation added to your home)
From current level of insulation in your home at the time of the pre-retrofit evaluation:
No insulation and up to RSI 2.11 (R-12)
$ 1,800 - If you achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 8.81 (R-50) for your attic
$600 - If you achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 4.93 (R-28) for your flat roof and/or cathedral ceiling
$600 - If you insulate your non-insulated flat roof or cathedral ceiling to increase its insulation value by a minimum of RSI 3.52 (R-20)
Greater than RSI 2.11 (R-12) and up to RSI 4.40 (R-25)
$600 - If you achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 8.81 (R-50) for your attic
$250 - If you achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 4.93 (R-28) for your flat roof and/or cathedral ceiling
$N/A - If you insulate your non-insulated flat roof or cathedral ceiling to increase its insulation value by a minimum of RSI 3.52 (R-20)
Greater than RSI 4.40 (R-25) and up to RSI 6.16 (R-35)
$250 - If you achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 8.81 (R-50) for your attic
$N/A - If you achieve a total minimum insulation value of RSI 4.93 (R-28) for your flat roof and/or cathedral ceiling
$N/A - If you insulate your non-insulated flat roof or cathedral ceiling to increase its insulation value by a minimum of RSI 3.52 (R-20)
EXTERIOR WALL INSULATION
Eligibility criteria for a grant:
Insulate a minimum of 20% of your exterior wall area. Excluding foundation walls.
Important:
The total amount of your grant will be calculated based on the total percentage of your wall that you choose to insulate. This means if you insulate 80% of your wall area, you would qualify for 80% of the amount listed below.
FOR A SEMI- DETACHED OR END UNIT ROW HOUSE, YOU WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE GRANT. THE MAXIMUM YOU WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR IS 75% OF THE LISTED AMOUNTS. FOR A MIDDLE UNIT ROW HOUSE, THE MAXIMUM GRANT YOU WOULD QUALIFY FOR IS 50% OF THE LISTED AMOUNTS.
There are no incentives available for insulation of walls between individual units.
GRANT AMOUNT:
(by the level of additional insulation added to your home)
Percent area that you choose to insulate

$760
Add insulation value greater than RSI 2.11 (R-12) and up to RSI 3.52 (R-20)

$3.300
Add insulation value of RSI 1.32 (R-7.5) up to RSI 2.11 (R-12)
$3,800
Add insulation value greater than RSI 2.11 (R-12) and up to RSI 3.52 (R-20)
$1,000
Add insulation value greater than RSI 3.52 (R-20)
EXPOSED FLOORS
Eligibility criteria for a grant:
Insulate the entire exposed floor area (minimum area of 11 square metres or 120 square feet).
This can include overhangs and floors above unheated spaces such as an unheated garage.
Crawl spaces are excluded
Option:
Minimum additional insulation, RSI 3.52 (R-20)
Grant amount: $350
BASEMENT/FOUNDATION INSULATION
Eligibility criteria for a grant:
Insulate a minimum of 20% of the wall area of the foundation, including basement and crawl space walls.
important:
You can combine the grants shown below: i.e. adding insulation to the basement header and wall insulation.
For a semi- detached or end unit row house, you will not qualify for the full amount of the grant: the maximum you would be eligible for is 75% of the listed amounts.
For a middle unit row house, the maximum grant you would qualify for is 50% of the listed amounts.
There are no grants available for insulation of walls between individual units.
When both a basement and crawl space are present, all applicable grants are pro-rated to a maximum of $1,500 based on the total wall area and the additional insulation.
Seal and insulate at least:
Grant amount: $240
80% of your entire basement header area to increase its insulation value by a minimum of RSI 3.52 (R-20)
Grant amount: $400
50% of your entire basement slab by a minimum of RSI 0.62 (R-3.5)
Grant Amounts:
(by the level of additional insulation added to your home)
