Home Improvement Rebates:
In order to qualify for home improvement rebates, you must work with a participating Alberta contractor. It's recommended that you obtain quotes from three of the registered professionals before signing a contract. Pricing and final rebate totals will be based on an estimate of your home's current energy needs, and each contractor may make different recommendations. You will not be eligible for a rebate if you do the work yourself. Insulation As your home ages, the insulation in your home will compact and become less efficient. Today's new products and technologies offer various types of insulation and installation methods that will reduce energy costs, improve comfort and add value to your home at resale. Energy Efficiency Alberta's insulation rebates include:- Attic
- Main walls
- Basement
- Half walls
- Loose fill
- Blown-in
- Rolls or batts
- Spray foam
- Rigid board
- Energy Star® rated—windows must meet Energy Star® guidelines for performance and energy efficiency as certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council. These vary by climate zone.
- Triple pane—three panes of glass are sandwiched together with high-insulating Argon or Krypton gas filling the space between the panes. They're often built with stronger frames to hold the extra weight and more durable hardware.
- Low-E (Low-emittance) coating—uncoated glass has a very low U-value and allows heat and cold to easily transfer through it. Treating it with a low-emittance coating allows short-wavelength sunlight through but reflects long-wavelength radiation. In winter, this means heat loss is reduced and the sun's heat stays inside. In summer, harmful UV rays are blocked while still allowing natural light through.
- Argon gas filled—insulates better than air, so filling the space between glass panes provides a more efficient window. Triple pane windows with an extra layer of Argon gas significantly reduces heat loss.
- Purchase a qualifying appliance or thermostat.

Typical NDP. If I get up off the couch and do the work myself they have no interest in helping me. Only if I let someone else do the work will they offer me money.
