We’ve all seen the impacts of climate change now. The amount of destruction human actions are causing the planet is more than alarming. And now, with the cost of energy on the rise, more than ever, individuals are looking for ways to save energy in Alberta to save on the cost of energy in their homes and businesses.
The problem is the expense. Switching to green energy, or even just purchasing new energy efficient products, can add up. So how can you save the dollar signs you need to save to stay afloat among high costs of living when you need to spend to find those savings? You can do this with the residential no-charge energy savings program.
What is the residential no-charge energy savings program?
The government of Alberta is implementing a new program to help residents save energy in Alberta by making their homes more energy efficient. The residential no-charge energy savings program is a program that is designed to allow energy consumers across Alberta access to the direct, no-charge installation of energy efficient products. It’s an easy and affordable way to start saving energy in Alberta.
How does it work?
The program is about creating opportunities for education and awareness as much as it is about making energy efficiency affordable and accessible. You don’t even need to do the research to learn about the energy efficient products you could be installing to help you save energy in Alberta. An Energy Efficiency Alberta installer will do a no-charge walkthrough of your urban or rural house, apartment, or condo (whether you rent or own) to identify where you can install upgrades to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
It doesn’t take long to do—in fact, most homes can be upgraded in about an hour—so you can be on your way to saving energy in Alberta in just a few easy steps:
- Step 1: Register
- Step 2: Schedule your installation
- Step 3: Participate in the no-charge walkthrough
- Step 4: The installer will upgrade your home to energy-efficient products that are yours to keep at no charge—and he or she will even show you how to use them.
- Step 5: Start saving money and energy in Alberta with your new energy-efficient home.
Are you eligible to participate?
Without a doubt, yes. As long as you are an Alberta household, you are eligible to participate. It doesn’t matter what your income level or housing type is, and you won’t have to worry about disposing of old products. Your installer will look after product removal, replacement, and installation, so all you have to do is register to become an energy-efficient household that is working to save energy in Alberta.
What kinds of changes will the installer make?
If you were hoping to get a new fridge out of the deal, you are out of luck, but the residential no-charge energy savings program will install LED products; high-efficiency shower heads; faucet aerators; advanced power bars; and smart, self-adjusting thermostats—all products that are designed to help you save energy in Alberta, and thus save on the cost of energy without any added expense of installation.
Ready to start saving energy—and money—in Alberta?
Installations are scheduled to begin this April, which means you should register now so you can start saving energy in Alberta as soon as possible.
