Save Energy and Money with CORE's Rebates
From planning energy-saving projects to providing funding for home improvements, we have you covered.
Our region's residential building sector emitted 247,800 MT CO2 in 2020.

Rebates can be requested once final construction design documents ("100% CD's") are provided.
If the building code prohibits natural gas, then no rebates will be provided.
Custom Rebates
Custom rebates are considered for projects that do not fall within the other project types but produce significant energy savings.
