This program helps more New Brunswick homeowners manage energy use and costs. 
The Enhanced Energy Savings Program is designed for New Brunswick homeowners who could benefit most from energy efficiency upgrades, especially insulation and air sealing. If your combined household income is under $70,000, you may qualify for free upgrades that help lower your energy use and reduce your bills.
The program is open to all eligible homeowners, no matter how you currently heat your home or who your energy provider is. It also includes support to switch from oil heating to a more efficient system, helping improve comfort while cutting energy costs.
The Enhanced Energy Savings Program helps New Brunswick homeowners lower their energy use and monthly costs through targeted, no-cost upgrades. All work is completed by an NB Power-approved contractor of your choice.
Upgrades may include insulation for basements, attics, and walls, ventilation improvements to address air quality or moisture issues, and energy-efficient heat pumps for heating and cooling. If you currently heat with oil, the program can also support a switch to a more efficient heating system, helping you move away from oil while improving comfort and reducing energy costs.
From drafty windows and doors to cold basements and attics, these free upgrades are designed to make your home more comfortable and affordable to run.
It’s easy to get started with the Enhanced Energy Savings Program. Follow these simple steps for free energy efficiency upgrades.
