LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Program

Two complementary home energy efficiency grant programs create a splash

Reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on energy bills just became easier and more cost effective. City Green Solutions, a non-profit organization that provides energy efficiency services and programs welcomes the introduction of the LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive program.

“This new provincial incentive program complements the Federal ecoENERGY Retrofit Homes initiative in a fantastic way – there has never been more money available to homeowners to improve the energy efficiency, comfort and value of their homes while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions” explains Peter Sundberg, Executive Director for City Green Solutions.

Depending on the age of the home and energy efficiency renovations undertaken, City Green’s clients are reducing their heating bills by 15 to 75%. “The most common recommendations include upgrades to insulation, windows and heating systems. Also exciting is that these grant programs reward solar hot water heating, water conservation and net metered renewable energy power generation measures” says City Green Sales Representative Thea Windle.

City Green Solutions is the only non-profit organization in BC to provide home energy efficiency assessments, customized retrofit plans and access to federal and provincial energy efficiency grants for homeowners. Eligible buildings for the ecoENERGY and LiveSmart BC program include single family detached homes, duplexes and row houses. “The phones are ringing off the hook at the City Green office, so I think the LiveSmart BC program is already making a splash with BC homeowners” says Windle. “Grants and long term energy savings make it easy and rewarding to adopt sustainable lifestyle choices.”
