How it works

The intake form asks about key information your Energy Concierge will use to connect you with your free pre-retrofit EnerGuide Home Evaluation.  If you have questions about the contents of the form or need help, reach out to us at either 1.866.381.9995 or info@homeenergynav.ca.

Once your form is submitted, we’ll make sure you’re registered with the program, welcome you aboard, and connect you to your Energy Advisor.

Your Energy Advisor will coordinate with you to schedule your home assessment at a time that is most convenient for you.

What to expect during the assessment:

  • Your energy advisor will take measurements of your home and assess your home’s insulation levels, windows and doors, space and water heating systems, and ventilation.
  • Your advisor will conduct a blower door test which tests the air leakage of the home. The blower door test is a depressurization test that slightly depressurizes the home so that air is drawn into the home through tiny cracks and gaps. While the fan is running, you can walk through the home with your energy advisor and find all the air leakage spots. You’d be surprised at all the hidden leaks!
  • Your energy advisor will perform a safety check called an Exhaust Depressurization Test to determine whether conditions exist that could cause your home’s exhaust systems to pull dangerous gases into the home. Your energy advisor will let you know if you are at risk and will provide guidance on who you can contact to fix it.
  • Additionally, your energy advisor will review your ducts and your electrical panel to assess your heating and cooling options.
  • After your energy advisor has completed the assessment and tests, they will talk to you about priorities, concerns, issues, or renovation plans you may have for your home. They will also discuss relevant rebates that may apply to your specific goals or renovations.
  • After the evaluation, your energy advisor will create an energy model based on the site visit. Within 2 weeks of your evaluation, you will receive a Renovation Upgrade Report, a Homeowner Information Sheet, and an EnerGuide Label and for a limited time, these enhanced EnerGuide Home Evlauaitons will also produce a Heat Pump Sizing report for you to give to your contactors so they have everything they need to properly size and quote for your home.

Once you’ve had your evaluation and you’ve got your reports, it’s time to complete your upgrades.  Your concierge will be available throughout to help you plan your upgrades, answer any questions during the process, and prepare for your rebates!

When you’re ready, let us know.  We’ll connect you back with your energy advisor for your free post-retrofit EnerGuide Home Evaluation to finish up your work!

After the post-retrofit you’ll receive an EnerGuide Label and Rating.

The EnerGuide rating is the modeled energy consumption of a home, measured in gigajoules per year. The lower the rating, the less energy a home consumes. The EnerGuide Rating is displayed on the EnerGuide Label, which provides summarized information from the energy evaluation. It includes:

  • EnerGuide Rating
  • A typical new house reference: the EnerGuide Rating the home would have if it had been built to current building code.
  • Breakdown of the rated annual energy consumption
  • Greenhouse gas emissions: the estimated GHGs emitted annually as a result of using
