Guelph, Ont., April 22, 2023 – Looking to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your carbon footprint? The Guelph Greener Homes program can help you do that.
To support Guelph’s Race to Zero goal of becoming a net zero carbon community by 2050, the program will offer a zero-interest loan of up to $50,000 for residential property owners in Guelph to help cover the costs of energy-efficient upgrades. This initiative will lower greenhouse gas emissions, offer potential energy and utility cost savings, and provide the opportunity for more affordable low carbon upgrades.
The Guelph Greener Homes program is set to launch later this spring. Sign up to be the first to know when the program launches at guelph.ca/greenerhomes
What types of upgrades qualify?
- Building upgrades like insulation, air-sealing, windows, and door repair/replacement
- Mechanical systems (air source heat pump, heat pump water heater, heat recovery system)
- Control systems (smart or programmable thermostat)
- Renewable energy systems (solar photovoltaic system, solar hot water system)
You’ll also have the chance to chat with City staff about other environmental programs. Stop by to ask questions, get more information on our programs, and celebrate Earth Day with us so we can all make Guelph greener.
