EnerGuide Home Energy Assessment
ecoPlus Services provides residential energy assessments based on Natural Resources Canada’s EnerGuide rating system. This process helps homeowners better understand their home’s energy performance, identify the main sources of energy loss, and prioritize upgrades that can improve comfort, reduce energy consumption, and lower operating costs.
Although some former rebate programs, including the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus and the Canada Greener Homes Grant, are now closed, an EnerGuide assessment remains a valuable tool for planning energy-efficient renovations with reliable technical information.
Our team supports homeowners in Ottawa, Gatineau and surrounding communities with residential energy assessments, blower door testing and energy efficiency guidance. Depending on the project, we can also support selected mandates elsewhere in Ontario, Quebec and across Canada.
Quebec residents: Rénoclimat and complementary support
For residential homeowners in Quebec, the Rénoclimat program is generally the best starting point for an energy assessment connected to financial assistance. ecoPlus Services is not the Rénoclimat service provider for these subsidized residential assessments.
We can still support complementary needs: technical analysis, renovation prioritization, guidance on insulation, air sealing, ventilation, mechanical systems, photovoltaic electricity generation, multi-unit projects, Ontario mandates, and specialized programs such as MLI Select.
