The Manitoba government has launched the Affordable Home Energy Program, making it easier for homeowners to upgrade to energy-efficient heat pumps and start saving on their energy bills, Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes announced today.

“This is a big step toward a greener, more sustainable province that is building a low-carbon future by harnessing renewable energy, while making life more affordable for Manitoba families,” said Moyes.

This program is a key part of Manitoba’s Affordable Energy Plan, lowering energy costs for families, reducing emissions and supporting the creation of clean-energy jobs, noted the minister. The program, delivered through Efficiency Manitoba, helps cover the cost of ground-source heat pumps for eligible homeowners. Manitobans who heat their homes with electricity could lower their energy bills by up to 30 per cent, approximately $1,000, in the first year, added Moyes.

“We’re proud to be part of this important initiative to help Manitobans make smart energy efficiency upgrades that deliver lasting savings and comfort. Our efficiency-first approach supports homeowners from their initial energy evaluation to upgrades like insulation, through to installing the right heat pump system for their needs,” said Colleen Kuruluk, CEO, Efficiency Manitoba.

The Affordable Home Energy Program offers flexible options, including a no-upfront-cost option, so families can start saving on their energy bills right away, noted the minister. It also includes support for retrofits in multi-unit residential buildings, in addition to single family homes.

“Bringing together industry partners to support the Affordable Home Energy Program will help ensure Manitoba is prepared to meet growing demand with a skilled local clean-energy workforce to support reliable and affordable geothermal energy,” said Clarence Jonker, president, Manitoba Geothermal Energy Alliance.
