The Home Energy Navigator Program in a free program created by local governments in BC to engage and support homeowners throughout their retrofit journey.
Participants are connected with an Energy Concierge, who will be available throughout their retrofit project to answer questions, provide support, and give local, expert advice and guidance to navigate the complex world of home energy retrofits.
