In an effort to promptly reply to inquiries, NRCan has created the following chart for the different scenarios. They address the possible extensions (either 3-months) or program re-entry (a new 18-months) and provide you with information on what NRCan is working towards.

Note: D Evaluation means "Original Evaluation, E Evaluation means "Post Retrofit Evaluation" after you have completed upgrades and have made an application for grants. F Evaluation means a second "Post Retrofit Evaluation" after you have completed upgrades and have made an application for grants.

Case 1: Original Evaluation before March 30, 2009 – No POST evaluation – 18 months exceeded

• Homeowner must register with NRCan in order to re-enter the program and receive a new 18-month period ( electronic system for registration ) In the meanwhile contact Green Home Energy (by Sept.30, 2009) for a new 18 month period in order to qualify for grants to complete all retrofits if they have remaining work to complete in their home.

• Grants for the E evaluations will be paid according to the new grant table and subject to availability of funding.
• No 3 month extension option (as this must be requested before first 18 month period expires).

Case 2: Original Evaluation before March 30, 2009 – No POST evaluation - 18 months NOT exceeded

• Homeowners have 18 months from the date of their pre-retrofit evaluation to have their post-retrofit evaluation.

Case 3: Original Evaluation and POST evaluation completed before March 30, 2009
