Should I Apply for the Greener Home Grant?
Posted On: March 31, 2022
With climate change being the talk of the news, everyone wonders what they can do to help? Some people purchase hybrid vehicles, take public transportation, ride bikes, or walk where they can.
But there is another thing you can do to help, turn your home into a greener home.
What is a green home?
A green home, not to be confused with a greenhouse, is a residential home or dwelling that uses materials and utilities to reduce its carbon footprint.
These ways include:
- Using reclaimed and sustainable materials
- Low flow sinks and toilets
- Energy-efficient appliances, heating, and cooling systems, and lights
- Smart thermostats
- Double pan windows
- Solar panels
- Low VOC paints and carpets
- Update insulation, so it's airtight
You can also help by using green compost bins and recycle bins. Green homes are not only suitable for the environment, but they also benefit those who live in them.
Greener homes have less indoor air pollution, which means your family can breathe easier. They also help reduce the costs of utilities, saving you money that you can use for other investments.
You can apply for the Greener Home Grant Program if you decide to make your home greener. This grant can help offset some of the costs. Only homes older than six months old can qualify for the Greener Home Grant.
The types of homes that qualify are:
- Single and Semi-detached houses
- Rowhouses
- Townhomes
- Permanent mobile homes
- Permanently moored floating homes
- Small multi-unit residential buildings, three stories or less, anything more will not qualify.
You must have your home evaluated before applying for the grant. If you are a new homeowner who had an evaluation done by the previous owner, you will need another assessment. Once you have your home evaluated, you can receive a reimbursement for up to $600.
Once you have qualified for the grant, you can receive a $5,000 reimbursement. This reimbursement includes the cost to replace Air and Cold Climate Heat Pumps.

Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.

Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.

Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.

When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!

Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!
Feb 1, 2021
I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!

My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.

Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.
Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.
Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!
