Canada Greener Homes Loan
Loan details
Maximum: $40,000
Minimum: $5,000
Repayment term: 10 years, interest-free
Loan type: Unsecured personal loan on approved credit
The quotations for this work and the retrofits chosen in the application are used to determine the maximum acceptable loan amount. Based on accepted market norms and industry standards, the maximum qualifying amount is set. If the maximum qualifying loan amount is less than the price you were quoted, you’ll be liable for making up the difference.
Each qualifying property and homeowner are only eligible for one loan each.
Only eligible products and installations that are a part of a retrofit that is both advised by an energy expert and qualified for the grant are eligible for the loan.
A portion of the financing can be given to you up front so that the construction on your home can start right away. For these kinds of projects, contractors frequently need a down payment. Upon successful completion of the retrofits and confirmation via a post-retrofit evaluation, the remaining amount of the loan will be disbursed.
