The following chart will give you an idea in Ontario for the rating required for the year you purchased. You will need to have the rating from the builder or qualfied energy advisor.
* Depending on the closing date of your purchase, the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Energy-Efficiency Rating required differs:
For purchases with a closing date… | EnerGuide Rating Required |
On or after January 1st, 2013 | 82 |
From April 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2012 | 80 |
From July 27st, 2005 to March 31st, 2010 | 77 |
In order to make an application for a refund you will need to fill out one of the attached forms and send it to your insurer along with and EnerGuide report showing your house rating. The supporting documents cannot be older than five years or a new energy efficiency evaluation will be required. If you renovate your existing home to increase it’s EnerGuide rating by at least 5 points(to a minimum of 40) you can apply for the refund as well.
I have applied and received funds for those that fit the requirements when my clients have bought a house that meets the guidelines. Please contact me if you are looking to purchase an Energy Efficient Home in 2013 that is 82 or higher. At Bennett Capital, we will get you the best rate and apply for the refund for you at closing.
