Going Green At Home

Many people are looking for ways to reduce energy consumption and make their homes greener.

Homeowners in Guelph, Ont. can now upgrade their dwellings to be eco-friendlier with a head-start from the City of Guelph’s Greener Homes program.

These upgrades will not only make houses environmentally friendly, but will help families cut down on energy costs at a crucial time with rising interest rates and the current state of inflation.

According to the City of Guelph, “Homeowners can apply for a zero-interest loan of up to $50,000 to help cover the costs of energy-efficient home retrofits. The program is part of the City’s commitment to sustainability as it strives to become a net-zero carbon community by 2050 and win the #racetozero.”
