How it works
Edmonton's CEIP finances up to 100% of eligible residential energy upgrades, with a minimum of $3,000 and a maximum of $50,000. Repayment is added to the property tax bill at a fixed 6% rate over up to 20 years (or the useful life of the upgrades, if shorter), and can be paid off early without penalty.
Residential projects need at least three upgrades, unless fewer are needed to reach net zero or the property has used CEIP before. Heat pumps, solar, windows, doors, insulation, water heating and lighting qualify. Air conditioners, gas furnaces not paired with a heat pump, and standard storage water heaters do not.
The City says the program is nearing capacity, so new pre-qualification submissions go on a waitlist and are processed first-come, first-served as space is confirmed.
Who qualifies
- Legal owner of an existing residential property in Edmonton (detached or semi-detached house, row house, townhome), or a multi-unit residential building
- Property taxes not in arrears now or at any time in the last five years, plus other financial requirements in the terms and conditions
- At least three eligible upgrades, unless fewer reach net zero or the property has used CEIP before
- Approval required before work begins; CEIP-qualified contractor
How to apply
Step 1: Complete the CEIP pre-qualification form through Alberta Municipalities; it will be placed on the waitlist
Step 2: When invited, get an EnerGuide home evaluation and choose CEIP-qualified contractors
Step 3: Submit the project application, sign the agreements, complete the work and a post-project EnerGuide evaluation
Step 4: Repay through your property tax bill
