Manitoba - New HOME Program

For Home Owner:

We’ll help you design a Certified Energy Efficient new home.

Your new home is likely the single largest investment you’ll make in your lifetime. Increase your home’s comfort and quality while keeping your monthly energy costs low by building a home that’s Certified Energy Efficient by Efficiency Manitoba.

Rebates for the HOMEOWNERS

If you’re managing the design and construction of your new home, you can apply to our New Homes Program. An energy advisor will work with you to estimate the energy performance of your project and provide recommendations to help you maximize your rebate.

Homes that are Certified Energy Efficient through the New Homes Program are automatically eligible for a 25% mortgage insurance premium refund from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Sagen and Canada Guaranty.

You have 24 months from the closing date of your mortgage to apply. For more information or to apply now, visit Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Sagen or Canada Guaranty.

Your rebate is calculated:

• The size of home you’re building in cubic metres;

• Your home’s final energy rating, referred to as the “percent improvement” number. This is calculated by the energy advisor using the EnerGuide Rating System.

For Builder:

The New Homes Program offers builders more than just a rebate, with:

• free third-party airtightness testing;

• energy code compliance verification and optimization analysis;

• site signage and cooperative advertising opportunities;

• mortgage insurance premium refunds payable to your customers with insured mortgages; and

• energy reports and benchmarking tools to measure your progress toward higher levels of performance.

REBATES FOR BUILDERS

Our New Homes Program has been designed to align with the published building code wherever possible. We use the same language, measurements, and classifications to ensure consistency between the building code and our program requirements, making it easier for builders to participate in our program and prepare for the future adoption of higher energy performance tiers.

Your rebate is based on two factors:

• Whether the conditioned volume of the home is greater than or less than 300 m³;

• The final energy performance % improvement.
