What are your wait times for the evaluation?

We currently have no wait times for appointments! If you are located within an hour of Winnipeg or Brandon, we can typically come within 1 week of receiving your request. If you are located in a more remote area of the province, please contact us at info@prairiehouse.ca to learn when a prairieHOUSE Energy Advisor will be in your area.

I already purchased or installed my upgrades, can I still participate in the Greener Homes program?

All materials and equipment must be purchased and installed after the pre-retrofit evaluation in order to qualify for Greener Homes Grants.

Is an EnerGuide home evaluation free?

Both the pre-retrofit evaluation and post-retrofit evaluation must be paid for at the time of service. If you complete both evaluations and a minimum of one recommended energy retrofit, you will qualify for a $600 grant toward the cost of the evaluations.
