New Brunswick Existing Homes
Energy Efficiency Upgrades Program

This Efficiency NB program for existing homes provides expert advice and financial incentives to New Brunswick homeowners who want to improve the energy efficiency of their homes and carry out retrofit projects.

There is a NEW program for existing apartments. This replaces the one for multi-units (MURBs), so if you're an apartment owner, better contact efficiencyNB before proceeding.

You'll find the links further down the page, under "Where to Get More Information". Those programs works in conjunction with Natural Resources Canada's ecoENERGY Retrofit Grants and Incentives program.

The grants and rebates offered under the provincial program are different from the federal ones, and they are available IN ADDITION to the federal rebates.

In other words, you do not have to choose between the New Brunswick program and the federal program - you apply for both at the same time.

You can read all about my own applications, including the two energy audits, step-by-step, on my Energy Audit page. Click on the link at the bottom of the page, or on the "Energy Audit" button on the left.
