Offers for Comox Valley Region Residents
The Comox Valley Regional District has teamed up with City Green Solutions and the Home Energy Navigator Program to offer home energy-efficiency support and resources to Courtenay residents. An Energy Concierge will help you understand the concept of energy efficiency for your home, identify which upgrades are best suited to your needs and priorities, and guide you in taking the first steps toward enhancing your home’s comfort.
Please note that the Village of Cumberland and the three CVRD electoral areas are no longer participating in the Home Energy Navigator Program. However, this does not mean that climate action within the CVRD is coming to an end. For updates on upcoming energy-saving initiatives, please refer to the CVRD’s Regional Climate Action Strategy for future plans.
This is on top of the CVRD plan that has implemented a Residential Emissions Reduction Action Plan to reduce GHG emissions from the building sector by 50% by 2030 (from 2007 levels). The Home Energy Navigator is one contributing component of this plan.

Rebates and Financing for CVRD Residents
Space heating and water heating account for over half of a home’s energy consumption. Many rebate programs are encouraging the upgrade to high-efficiency heating and hot water systems. The benefits include lower utility bills, improved comfort in your home, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) offers various rebates to residents in both municipal and electoral areas, and you might qualify for financial incentives to make your property more environmentally friendly.

Your Energy Concierge will help you navigate the Retrofit Roadmap through first steps, selecting and understanding upgrades, reviewing documentation and eligibility for rebates, and identifying the rebates you can access.
