Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program

Be wary of fraudulent or high-pressure sales tactics

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has not approved third parties to make unsolicited contact with homeowners to register for or participate in the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP). The Government of Canada, NRCan and its family of brands (ENERGY STAR, EnerGuide) never solicit over the telephone, or by email or go door-to-door asking to enter Canadians’ homes to inspect, sell, or rent heating and cooling products. EnerGuide home energy evaluations are performed by licensed service organizations only at the request of homeowners. Learn how to recognize energy scams.

No-cost energy efficiency retrofits for your home

The Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP) will provide low-to-median-income homeowners and tenants with no-cost home retrofits, such as insulation and heat pumps.

Provincial and territorial stream

CGHAP will use a direct-install approach, meaning that the program will be delivered to participants by selected organizations that will handle all the logistics and costs associated with planning and delivering home retrofits to reduce energy bills.

The program will start to be delivered in 2025 through participating provinces and territories. Links to these programs will be provided here as they become available.

Supplemental Indigenous organizations stream

CGHAP will provide dedicated support to regional Indigenous governments and representative organizations. CGHAP funds will flow through existing funding agreements managed by Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada. This approach aims to reduce administrative requirements and ensure that funds go directly toward the self-determined priorities of First Nations, Métis and Inuit partners. In addition to using the funds for retrofits, Indigenous recipients may use CGHAP funding for related training and other residential energy efficiency priorities.
