    Hello there,

    I just finished major renos to my small log cabin that included 7 new windows, 2 new door,2 walls and a ceiling insulated and had my hot water tank that was in a small enclosure outside the house to inside. No question all of these will drastically improve my energy efficiency. I was told unfortunately that because I did not have someone come out prior to the improvements, I missed the boat basically. I was told I could still have someone come out and suggest further improvements which given all the work I had done, seemed like a huge dismissal of all the money I just paid out and the energy I have and will be saving on your part. I already use energy efficient lighting an have made a huge effort on my part to save energy. I was really excited when I recently heard about this rebate program and then very disappointed to hear that all the work I just completed would not qualify for any rebate. I would appreciate your comments on this.

    Thank you,

    Kristin Gastmeier

    Hello Kristin,

    Thanks for your comments – and please note that ShowMeTheGreen.ca is not a government website (in case that was your impression).

    While it’s true that homeowners must first have an energy audit done before they can qualify for some government rebates, other rebates do not require a pre-renovation audit. One example is the Nova Scotia Residential/Commercial Energy Conversion Program, which provides a grant of up to $2,000 when you convert to a natural gas furnace and water heater.

    I would recommend you go back to the homepage of this site, click Nova Scotia on the map, and then choose the rebate categories that apply to your situation. You might be eligible for rebates that don’t require an energy audit.

    Hope that helps,

    Mark

    We are in the process of purchasing a new home and plan to install 2 ETS systems to run it. Would we be eligible for any kind of rebate by doing this? Thank you.
