  To avoid any interruptions or delays, kindly take a moment to review all details and requirements.

  Inform all property owners of your intention to apply for CEIP financing.

  All property owners will need to sign the Project Application Form and Program agreements. Additionally, one property owner needs to sign the Pre-Qualification Form and Upgrade Completion Forms. Ensure that you read the Terms & Conditions before applying.

  • You are current on all property-secured debt payments (e.g., mortgage, home equity line of credit).

  Check your mortgage agreement, insurance policies, and building policies, and have copies of each ready.

  • Check with your mortgage lender as some mortgage agreements may require your lender’s consent before you apply for CEIP financing.
  • Your home insurance policy may cover the property’s full value and must cover at least $1 million in personal liability insurance.

How CEIP Works?

• Completing a clean energy improvement through CEIP follows these eight steps

  Step 1: Pre-Qualification
  Read the CEIP Terms and Conditions. Complete the Pre-Qualification Form at myCEIP.ca. This confirms that you and your property meet the basic program qualification criteria.

  Step 2: EnerGuide home evaluation
  Once pre-qualified, schedule an EnerGuide home evaluation to learn about your home’s energy performance. This will help you understand your priority options for home improvements.

  Step 3: Project application
  Choose a Qualified Contractor at myCEIP.ca/directory and plan your project. Then, submit your Project Application to Alberta Municipalities.

  Step 4: Agreements
  Once approved, you’ll enter into a Clean Energy Improvement Agreement and Project Agreement.

  Step 5: Project installation
  After signing agreements, work with your Qualified Contractor to complete the improvements.

  Step 6: Upgrade completion
  Submit your upgrade completion forms as your improvements are completed.

  Step 7: Post-project EnerGuide home evaluation
  After your project is complete, a post-project EnerGuide evaluation will provide a new rating and label based on your home’s upgrades.

  Step 8: Repayment
  You’ll repay the project cost through your property tax bill as per your Clean Energy Improvement Agreement.
