How much can homeowners expect to save in terms of annual energy use and greenhouse gas emissions?

A. It would depend on the type of retrofit measures being undertaken. The average grant amount is expected to result in a 30 per cent reduction in energy use and greenhouse gas emission reductions of approximately 4 tones per house. By implementing the energy retrofit recommendations, a typical homeowner could save about $700 a year on a $2,000 annual heating bill.

To qualify for the Home Energy Retrofit Program, the post-retrofit verification audit must be completed after June 20, 2007.
