Who is eligible?

The Enhanced Energy Savings Program is open to all eligible New Brunswick homeowners, regardless of how they heat their homes.

Three important criteria are used to determine eligibility

  • an annual combined gross household income under $70,000
    • household income can be determined by checking the most current income tax Notice of Assessment Line 15000 for each adult (18+) living in the home.
  • you must own the home and live in it
  • your home must have a need for energy efficiency upgrades

 

If you meet the eligibility requirements for the Enhanced Energy Savings Program, and your home is heated with electric baseboards and does not already have a mini-split heat pump, one may be recommended as part of the home’s upgrades. Similarly, if the eligibility requirements for the Enhanced Energy Savings Program are met and the whole-home heating system is exclusively an oil-fired boiler or oil-fired furnace, then a cold climate air source heat pump or an alternate system may be recommended as part of the home’s upgrades. 

Please note: If you are enrolled in the Total Home Energy Savings Program, and are eligible for the expanded Enhanced Energy Savings Program, please contact us at SmartHabits@nbpower.com.
