New Brunswick Announces TOTAL HOME ENERGY SAVINGS PROGRAM

Energy savings from top to bottom. No matter how you heat.

Get custom advice and up to thousands of dollars in incentives.

The Total Home Energy Savings Program offers money back on efficiency upgrades on everything from insulation and air-sealing to high efficiency central heating systems to windows, doors, and more.

  • Lower your energy bills
  • Increase comfort
  • Help the environment

It all starts with your initial Home Energy Evaluation. For $99, a Certified Energy Advisor will evaluate your home – from the attic to the basement- to find out where your home needs upgrades. Your initial Home Energy Evaluation will give you customized recommendations to improve your home’s space and water heating energy efficiency. You could also be eligible for free energy savings products!
