One of the many incentives that Manitoba Hydro offers to improve the energy efficiency of homes is the Manitoba Hydro insulation program.
This program applies to homes built in 1999 or earlier and is designed to help residents of these homes upgrade the current insulation in their homes. The program covers the costs of upgrading existing insulation in foundations, attics, and exterior wall cavities – this by extension will help save energy costs for homeowners.
Note: It does not cover the replacement of existing insulation. It only covers the addition of new material.
