Learn how to access interest-free loans for energy-efficient home upgrades through the Canada Greener Homes Loan program.

This federal program provides low-cost financing to help homeowners pay for energy-efficient upgrades to their houses.

Who it's for

This loan is available to homeowners looking to complete energy retrofits. Architects who are advising homeowners on these specific projects may also be involved in the process.

What it costs you

While the loan itself is interest-free, there are requirements regarding how you document your progress. You must complete energy evaluations of your home both before and after the retrofits are finished to meet the program requirements.
