Online rebates and home improvement incentives announced for Alberta

Energy Efficiency Alberta has announced new incentives and rebates as part of its energy efficiency and renewable energy programs.

Instant Savings are now available on easy-to-install energy-efficient products at retailers across the province, including programmable and smart thermostats.

A $75 rebate on furnaces with ECM fans was also recently added. Homeowners can upload a copy of the receipt online and receive a rebate cheque within six to eight weeks.

In addition, homeowners can receive up to $1,000 in rebates for tankless hot water heaters, and can choose a contractor to install energy-efficient products in their home. Rebates are also available for drain-water heat–recovery equipment. www.efficiencyalberta.ca
