Make an investment in energy efficiency
and home comfort.
Draftproofing is an easy first
step, but if you are going to apply for a rebate you should
consider having your home audited before you start any work.
- Stop Gap
Measures. Check for drafts
around doors, windows and floorboards. All these little gaps
can add up to the equivalent of a large hole in your wall. A
little draftproofing and weatherstripping can save a bundle and
increase your wintertime comfort
- Audit your home.
The federal
Energuide
for Houses program will give you a thorough energy audit of your home and recommend
the best options for improving energy efficiency and home
comfort. Contact the
Green
Communities Canada (GCC) for more information.
GCC members are located in many Ontario communities. There
are also private companies that are registered agents to deliver
Energuide audits. See
Energuide
for Houses for a list of companies.
An audit will tell you where you should invest your time and money
-- for energy savings and for comfort.
- Invest in
conservation. Use your home
energy audit as a guide to where you should invest in under the federal Climate Change Strategy, rebates of up to $3,000
per home are available, depending on the improvements in energy
efficiency. See the Energuide
for Houses program for details.
