Home Energy

We are pleased to offer free Energy Coaching services to City of Peterborough residents as part of the Better Homes Peterborough program.

If you’re considering a home retrofit and would like to consult with an experienced energy advisor about your options and the programs available to you, a consultation with an energy coach can be a great way to start. Book your energy coaching session through this link. Alternatively, you can email us by filling in the contact form below, or give us a call at 705-536-9943.

An EnerGuide assessment is your starting point to better understand your home’s performance. A Registered Energy Advisor will visit your home and spend three to four hours measuring your building, evaluating insulation levels, documenting mechanical systems and performing a blower door test, which measures the airtightness of the home. The advisor then puts all this information into an energy model of your home and produces a series of reports which show how your home is losing heat now, and how different upgrades would impact your home’s energy usage. The report includes recommendations for how to best improve your home’s performance.

GreenUP has a service provider agreement with Green Communities Canada, which is a licensed Service Organization registered with Natural Resources Canada.

Some retrofits qualify for rebates through the Home Renovation Savings Program.

A home’s heating system has the largest impact on its energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. It is also a major investment when the time comes to replace it. Our heat pump advisory service includes F280 heat loss and heat gain calculations, evaluation of the capacity of the home’s electrical panel, and measurement of the home’s duct capacity using a specialized TrueFlow meter. The report can be provided to your heating contractor to assist them in selecting the best system for your home. We will also review up to three (3) quotes for heat pump systems and provide feedback on how sizing aligns with the data we’ve collected at the home. Note that we do not recommend specific contractors or equipment.

If you have completed an EnerGuide assessment with GreenUP within the last 12 months and have not made major changes to the home’s building envelope since then, we can perform this service for you using the existing assessment as a starting point.

You may be eligible for a rebate for a heat pump through the Home Renovation Savings Program.

Do you experience drafts in your home in the winter? Are mice, ants, or other pests getting into your building? Blower-door testing is a powerful technology for diagnosing home performance issues. During an in-depth air leakage evaluation, the energy advisor will perform a detailed investigation of leakage areas in your home using the blower door, and provide recommendations for solving the problems. A brief report, including key problem areas, will be provided. You will also be provided with the Equivalent Leakage Area for your home, which identifies the cumulative size of all the holes in your building. This assessment takes 1-2 hours.

Creating an airtight building envelope will lead to long-lasting energy efficiency. We provide airtightness testing for buildings under construction or recently completed (including additions). We will calculate your building’s Air Changes per Hour (ACH50) and Equivalent Leakage Area (the cumulative area of all holes in the building).
