To Whom It May Concern:
In May/2007, I applied for this Energy Efficent Retrfit Program for my Windows and Roof.
I am a senior – and need help in this area.
An inspector came around to my home in Dec./07 and he checked my windows and roof. He said I definitely need both my windows and roof need to be done. Windows to be replaced (all leaking and wind blowing in) and Roof to be repaired.
I have been in touch with Lisa Loga and all I hear is no, with promises. The Government says: “THEY WANT THE SENIORS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES”.
My income is approx. $6,000.00 per year OR $521.00 per month and this makes it absolutely impossible for me to do these repairs on my home.
I would appreciate an answer as soon a possible.
Thank You for your time.
Phone No.: (506) 684-3871 or e-mail me.
Sincerely, A Senior, Linda Lavigne
Hello Linda,
Thank you for visiting our website. First off, I should mention that this website is not associated with any government department.
Having said that, based on your income level and the criteria of the New Brunswick Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program for Low-Income Households, I would say that you qualify for this rebate.
My advice to you would be to call the Department of Family and Community Services, which runs this rebate program. Click on the link above under “For More Information” to find the phone number for the office in your city.
Hope that helps.
