A measured EnerGuide evaluation by a registered advisor, and a straight answer about which programmes are open in Ottawa.
Ottawa has the best home energy loan in the country now that the federal one has gone — up to $125,000 at 4.33% fixed over twenty years, with $600 towards the assessments. It also has the coldest winters of any large Ontario city, so the modelled savings are correspondingly bigger.
This programme requires a pre-retrofit and a post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation by a registered energy advisor working under a licensed Service Organization. That is what we are.
Book the evaluationChecked against each issuing body's own page on 22 Sep 2026. Programmes change without notice, so every one of these links to its source.
A registered energy advisor comes to the house for two to three hours. Every assembly is measured rather than estimated, the mechanical systems are recorded, and a blower door test establishes the actual air leakage rate. That goes into HOT2000, the federal modelling software, and comes back as an EnerGuide rating, a label and a Renovation Upgrade Report listing the measures that would improve it and by how much.
If your programme requires a post-retrofit evaluation — and most of the good ones do — we come back after the work and measure what actually changed. Several programmes require the same advisor for both visits, which is worth knowing before you book the first one.
Ottawa is served from our greater toronto office.
