Complete our homeowner and rental surveys
Two surveys have been created to support information gathering that will be used to develop the HEEP and can be found in the Surveys tab. The first survey asks homeowners for input on general household information, experiences with home retrofits, and financing preferences. The second survey is for individuals who own rental apartments only. Refrain from taking the rental survey if you do not own a rental property.
The Home Energy Efficiency Program has been rebranded as the Better Homes Peterborough program.
It publicly launched on April 22, 2025, and provides financial support for homeowners interested in carrying out energy efficiency upgrades to their homes.
Financing is being provided to applicants by the City of Peterborough through secured loans of up to $50,000 at 4.5% interest to be repaid via property tax bills over 15 years. Incentives are currently available for eligible applicants to access additional financial support to lower the overall loan costs. All low-rise (less than three storeys) residential detached, semi-detached, townhouses, and rowhouses in the city of Peterborough are permitted to join the program. Rental properties are also eligible to participate.
To learn more, contact Better Homes Peterborough staff by calling toll-free at 1-888-284-9417, emailing betterhomesptbo@envirocentre.ca, or visit https://betterhomesptbo.ca/ today.
