Grant for Existing Houses
Process

	Have an energy evaluation of your house done
	Request your evaluation by contacting Québec's Rénoclimat call centre at 1 866 266-0008. For a suggested fee of $149.95* (plus taxes) for an average-size, single-family dwelling, an technical advisor will make an initial evaluation of your home and assign an energy efficiency rating. The advisor will also determine what needs to be done to make your home more energy efficient and issue a recommendations report. For more information on the Rénoclimat program, visit the Agence de l'efficacité énergétique Web site.

	Obtain a grant from Hydro-Québec
	You have 18 months from the date of the evaluation to do the work yourself or have it done by a qualified contractor. Upon completion of the work, a technical advisor will do a second evaluation free of charge and assign a post-retrofit rating to determine whether the energy efficiency has improved. The difference between the two ratings determines the amount of the grant.

* The fee may vary depending on a number of factors and is subject to change, as are the other conditions. Certain conditions apply.

** The second evaluation will be free of charge if the work done has resulted in a higher energy efficiency rating. Other conditions may apply.

Important notice concerning the second evaluation:
Doing the types of work listed below, which do not sufficiently raise the EnerGuide rating, will not entitle you to the second (postretrofit) energy evaluation at no charge. You will have to pay the regular fee (suggested price is $ 149.95, plus taxes, for an average detached house).

Installing electronic thermostats
Replacing air conditioners
Implementing water-conservation mesures
Replacing four windows or fewer
Replacing doors
Implementing any other measure not taken into account in calculating an EnerGuide rating
