What does Dalton McGuinty's energy audit mean for homeowners?
Ontario's governement introduced what they call the "Green Energy Act" today. Part of this plan calls for homeowners to obtain an energy audit before they put their house up for sale.
So far, we don't know when this audit will be mandatory. The government wants to make sure there are enough auditors working before the plan goes ahead. The audit will cost about $300.00.
Some of the benefits for homeowners include the availability of no or low-interest loans to build a small-scale energy saving project such as rooftop solar panels or micro wind turbines.
