EDMONTON — The province of Alberta has announced a new rebate program for homeowners and contractors.

Starting April 28, the province will offer rebates of up to $3,500 for home improvement products, including home insulation, tankless hot water heaters and triple glaze windows, through a new Energy Efficiency Alberta program, according to a news release.

“Energy efficiency makes life more affordable for Albertans. It also creates good jobs,” said Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment and Parks, in the statement. “The Home Improvement Rebate will make a practical difference for Alberta families while supporting local contractors and helping to diversify our economy.”

To qualify, homeowners must select from a list of Alberta-based registered contractors on the Energy Efficiency Alberta website  to install eligible products. Contractors will guide homeowners through the application. Rebates will go directly to the homeowner once each project is complete.

Contractors who wish to be added to the registry can apply at the website. They must be a legally registered business in Alberta, have current liability insurance and have current Workers’ Compensation coverage. Contractors will also have to complete a short training course.
