NB Power Total Home Energy Savings Program
Residential
“It all starts with your initial Home Energy Evaluation. For $99, a Certified Energy Advisor will evaluate your home – from the attic to the basement- to find out where your home needs upgrades. Your initial Home Energy Evaluation will give you customized recommendations to improve your home’s space and water heating energy efficiency. You could also be eligible for free energy savings products!”
After registering for this program and being approved, NB Power will help you book an appointment with a Certified Energy Advisor, who will come to your house and assess its energy efficiency – from top to bottom – to find out where your home may need upgrades. The advisor will prepare an initial Energy Evaluation and give you a list of recommended upgrades, and it is up to you to decide which you plan on pursuing. You have 9 months to complete your work before they come back for a final evaluation. You may also be eligible for free energy savings products. There is currently a wait-time of approximately three to four weeks to have your energy evaluation done.
