What to know about window and door rebates 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).
- Look for ENERGY STAR for your zone
- Most programs require ENERGY STAR certified products rated for your climate zone. Ask for the certification on the quote.
- Count rough openings
- Rebates are usually paid per opening. Programs often set a minimum number of windows or doors per claim.
