The Total Home Energy Savings Program is an incentive program created by NB power in order to help homeowners cut down on utility costs, save energy and overall live in a greener home.

• You must be the legal primary homeowner of the property you wish to do your renovations in 
• Your property is residential: no more than 3 stories high and is smaller than 600m² (6458 ft ²). Single family homes, detached, side-by-side or row homes are also valid

• The property must be livable, in sound condition and is capable of receiving an evaluation from a Certified Energy Advisor. The home must have all interior and exteriors finished, a functioning heating and cooling system, kitchen and bathroom(s).

If you meet all of the criteria and the requirements, here’s how you can apply for the program: 

• You can register online or call Save Energy NB at 1-800-633-6272
• Complete an initial Home Energy Evaluation 
• After your initial evaluation, you can review the report with your Certified Energy advisor that provides recommendations and any other necessary changes from your evaluation 
• Choose the projects that you would like to complete. You have 9 months from your initial energy evaluation to complete your renovations. Make sure to save your receipts in order to receive your incentives. 
• Complete a final home energy evaluation, as your Certified Energy Advisor will go through your upgrades and you will receive a rating which shows the improved energy efficiency of your property. 
• As noted before, save all of your receipts from all the upgrades that you have made and receive your incentives within 90 days from your final home energy evaluation.
