We are thrilled to showcase another proud homeowner who has upgraded their home to be more energy-efficient and better for the environment!
Jame has shared their exciting journey with us as he made various improvements to his home. They learned about our EnerGuide Home Energy Evaluation program through word of mouth and regarded Reep Green Solutions as the “leader in the space.” What initially prompted Jame to seek out a Home Energy Evaluation was the age of his home andwanted to better understand the issues associated with older properties. One thing led to another, and now he’s made numerous improvements to his home. Our staff at Reep were eager and ready to assist them as quickly as possible.
Ultimately, the upgrades Jame made to his home greatly improved its comfort and resilience. By installing solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and a hybrid heating system, the home now enjoys more consistent temperatures, lower energy costs, and greater energy independence. These upgrades have better prepared it to face future extreme weather challenges.
Receiving the rebate cheque was a fantastic bonus for Jame; it really helped offset the cost of the upgrades. It was a pleasant surprise that made the entire process feel even more worthwhile. The rebate allowed him to invest in energy-efficient solutions with less financial strain, allowing him to enjoy both savings and a more sustainable home.
Jame believes the best advice he can offer is to invest in an energy audit to establish a baseline for your home. “Once you know where you stand, it’s easier to prioritize the improvements that will make the biggest impact. Tackle each item one by one, and you’ll see long-term benefits in both comfort and savings.” He emphasizes that understanding your home’s energy performance from the beginning is crucial for making informed decisions and maximizing the return on your investment.
Additionally, Jame had an incredibly positive and supportive experience with his Registered Energy Advisor, Colin. Colin took the time to listen to Jame’s needs and clearly explained the process, providing practical advice every step of the way. Jame felt confident and supported throughout the journey, and the results speak for themselves—his home is now more efficient and comfortable.
Finally, here is one final thought from Jame:
“We reduced our gigajoules (GJ) via gas consumption by 85% when looking actuals. Including photovoltaic (PV) it was $10k/ year for 5 years. And the house appreciated enough that those costs are recouped when we sell. Plus, the house is much more efficient and comfortable"
Reep Green Solutions’ Home EnerGuide Evaluation is one of the best options in town to maximize your rebates for many of your home energy upgrades.
Our Registered Energy Advisors will examine your house from basement to attic to assess its energy use and building envelope. You will receive a report that will contain a number of prioritized recommendations to improve your home’s energy efficiency. This will help fix high energy bills, air leaks and drafts, poor insulation of windows and doors, and address heating/cooling problems. The evaluation may also identify issues such as dampness, mould/mold or mildew in your home, which could lead to health problems.
We have a licensed service provider agreement with Green Communities Canada. They are licensed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to use the EnerGuide Rating System, Canada’s advanced system to rate home energy consumption, provide recommendations customized for your home and support you through any incentive programs.
