Whether insulating an attic or sealing an entire house, Icynene spray insulation lets you help homeowners qualify for significant federal grant money.
The Government of Canada has renewed the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program from June 6, 2011, to March 31, 2012.
Until March 31, 2012, homeowners are eligible to receive grants of up to $5,000 to help them invest in energy-efficient upgrades, including insulating and air-sealing with Icynene spray insulation.
Update: Homeowners who registered for the program by January 28, 2012, and completed renovations by March 31, now have until June 30, 2012, to obtain their post-retrofit evaluation. Source: http://www.ecoaction.gc.ca/ecoenergy-ecoenergie/retrofithomes-renovationmaisons-eng.cfm
