Residential Property
Flexible Financing for Green Home Renovation
Start saving sooner than you think
Alberta households spend almost $5,000 a year on energy costs. There is big money to be saved from sealing leaky windows, insulating attics, and replacing inefficient furnaces. You can save even more by generating your own electricity with rooftop solar panels.
The only question is how to finance the cost of these upgrades. With the Clean Energy Improvement Program, you can start saving sooner than you think.
Where is this program available?
Read on to learn how you can start making a difference for residential property in select Alberta municipalities: Devon, Edmonton, Leduc and Rocky Mountain House.
How we help residential property owners
The Clean Energy Improvement Program is a new way to finance energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy upgrades. Repayment is made through your regular property tax bill—and here’s what separates us from all other financial products: the project financing is tied to the property, not the property owner. That means if the property is sold, the new owner assumes repayment (and enjoys the benefits!).
Plus:
- Access competitive interest rates.
- Enjoy long repayment terms (up to 20 years for some upgrades).
- Pay off the project’s balance at any time.
Discover eligible residential upgrades
Discover upgrades that can lower your utility bill, make your property more comfortable, and enhance your property’s value.
Solar PV
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity with sunlight. Alberta’s big, clear skies mean you have big potential to use solar power, even in winter.
Attic Insulation
Heat rises, which means keeping a tight lid on your house can transform your utility bill. Attic insulation can cut 10-50% off your utility bill.
Heat Pump
Replacements for both furnaces and AC units, heat pumps use electricity to heat and cool year-round.

Lighting
Decrease your home’s energy usage by upgrading your lighting fixtures. Choose from a wide range of energy-efficient options.
Renewable Energy, Solar PV & Thermal

While actual results will vary depending on product quality, location, installation, use of space, etc. we provide estimated energy savings for different types of eligible upgrades.
