How air-sealing rebates work in Nova Scotia
The first tip comes from the program’s own steps. Each program’s rules come first.
- How HEA works in N.S.
- If your household may qualify on income, first apply for the Moderate Income Rebate so the assessment fee can be waived. Book an initial assessment with an Efficiency Nova Scotia delivery agent partner ($199 fee unless waived).
- It's measured, not estimated
- Air-sealing rebates usually depend on blower-door test results before and after the work.
- Book the first test early
- The pre-retrofit test has to happen before any sealing work, or there's nothing to compare against.
- Pair it with insulation
- Sealing and insulating together cost less than doing them separately and usually perform better.
