Who supplies your power
Newfoundland Power is the main electricity distributor on the island and has an area office in Corner Brook. All the takeCHARGE programs here are for Newfoundland Power and NL Hydro customers, so either utility works. Check the name on your bill when you apply.
Older house, electric heat: seal and insulate first
A house built before 1961 often has little attic insulation and leaky basement walls. takeCHARGE pays 75% of the insulation cost, up to $1,000 for the attic and $1,000 for the basement, plus up to $500 each for labour by a participating installer. If the old attic insulation has to come out, the rebate counts it as R-20 to start, and your installer can add air sealing at $0.50 a square foot up to $750. Your main heat must be electric.
Older house, oil heat
Oil furnaces are common in older homes. Oil to Electric pays up to $22,000 for a central heat pump if your household is income-qualified (for example $73,600 or less for two people), or up to $9,000 if not, and pays to remove the oil tank. In an old house, ask your installer about the backup heat the program requires and about your panel: the program also covers a panel upgrade where needed. Apply for the Home Heating Supplement ($400 to $1,000) this winter too.
Renters and lower income
With 38% of households renting, landlords matter here. Landlords can switch up to two rental homes through Oil to Electric, and the TakeCharge Greener Homes Program lets landlords apply for up to two homes if the tenants are income-qualified. Income-qualified homeowners can get upgrades at no cost through the same program. It is separate from the old federal Canada Greener Homes Grant, which has ended.
