Home Energy Upgrade Incentives for Ontario
Funding via the Ontario Home Energy Conservation Incentive Program
(OHECIP) is now available to help propane customers upgrade their
appliances. Propane businesses can play a role in this program by
discussing energy upgrades with current and potential customers, and by
directing them to appropriate program resources.
Independent
energy auditors manage the program process, including consumer
pre-qualification, energy audits and submission for payment. Eligible
energy upgrades include furnace and water heater replacement,
insulation, and air sealing. The program also now includes fuel
switching (e.g., oil to propane). Homeowners should contact an approved
auditor in their territory to discuss participating in this program. To
determine territory and approved auditors for their address, homeowners
can enter their postal code at: www.ohecip.ca.
A range of
marketing resources are available. CPA members, please view The Grid for
