The City of Peterborough is accelerating climate action by targeting energy inefficiency in residential buildings by establishing the Home Energy Efficiency Program (HEEP). The HEEP is planned to help Peterborough homeowners finance energy retrofits in their homes or rental properties. Once the program is established, it will aim to achieve the following:


  • Help homeowners reduce their homes’ energy consumption
  • Utilize supportive retrofit financing options for participants
  • Prioritize the local economy and trades to benefit from the increased renovation activity
  • Reduce GHG emissions via energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other low carbon measures
  • Target deep and moderate energy renovation projects in the community

    The City of Peterborough is designing a municipally supported residential financing program to make homes more efficient and reduce GHG emissions. The program will provide:

    • Support to homeowners throughout their home energy retrofit projects, and 
    • Loans to cover the cost of the retrofits.

    This survey will help inform this work by:

    1. Gathering information on the capacity for service providers (contractors and others) to deliver home energy retrofits in Peterborough, 
    2. Exploring what could help service providers deliver the expected number of retrofits, and 
    3. Understanding how the program could best provide value to both service providers and homeowners.

    The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
