The ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program is no longer accepting bookings for pre-retrofit evaluations. The program will continue to be administered until March 31, 2011.

Deadline for Post-Retrofit Evaluation It is suggested that you complete your energy upgrades well in advance to allow enough time for your post-retrofit evaluation, as all post-retrofit evaluations must be completed by March 31, 2011.

While the pre-retrofit assessment phase is now complete, homeowners will continue to undertake energy efficiency improvement work on their homes, which will increase the energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions already achieved by the program.

The Government of Canada will continue to process applications for the complementary programs already developed by most provinces and territories.

The Government of Canada continues to encourage homeowners to have home energy evaluations so that they can identify best opportunities for energy efficiency improvements, improve their home's energy performance and receive an EnerGuide rating label.

The Government of Canada will also continue to support other programs to help Canadians become more energy efficient.
