Thinking of insulating your home in 2025? You’ve got great timing—not only can insulation upgrades boost your comfort and lower your energy bills, but there are also some awesome rebates and incentives available in Nova Scotia right now that can help cover the cost.
Whether you're sealing up a drafty attic, upgrading your basement insulation, or switching to high-performance spray foam, there’s money on the table just waiting to be claimed.
Let’s walk through what’s available, how much you can save, and how to get started.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters in Nova Scotia
If you live here, you know the drill: cold winters, damp basements, and fluctuating energy bills. And with prices creeping up year after year, improving your home’s energy efficiency isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s a smart investment.
Proper insulation helps:
Keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer
Reduce heating and cooling costs (by up to 50%!)
Cut drafts, moisture, and noise
Boost your home’s value and comfort
The best part? You don’t have to shoulder the cost alone. 👇
Greener Homes Grant (Canada-Wide)
This nationwide program is still going strong in 2025 and offers up to $5,000 in grants for eligible energy upgrades—including insulation.
What’s covered?
✅ Attic insulation
✅ Basement or crawlspace insulation
✅ Exterior walls
✅ Air sealing (spray foam does this!)
To qualify, you’ll need to:
Book a pre-retrofit energy assessment with a certified advisor
Complete your upgrades (that’s where we come in)
Schedule your post-upgrade assessment
Submit your documents to receive the rebate
💡 Pro tip: Spray foam counts for both insulation and air sealing—double win!
Efficiency Nova Scotia – Home Energy Upgrade Program
Efficiency Nova Scotia offers a separate rebate program just for Nova Scotians. And it’s fantastic.
Depending on the upgrades you make, you could receive hundreds to thousands of dollars back for:
Basement insulation
Crawlspace or slab insulation
Exterior wall insulation
Air sealing (hello again, spray foam!)
They also offer bonus rebates if you complete multiple upgrades, like pairing insulation with a heat pump or ventilation system.
Want to get started? All you need is an energy assessment through Efficiency NS—we can even connect you with a local advisor.

There are also additional incentives available for:
Low-income households
