“A home inspection tells you about the condition of your house. An energy evaluation tells you how it performs. Thanks to Efficiency Manitoba’s $400 rebate, homeowners can access professional energy advice at a reduced cost. Combined with a blower door test, it provides a clear picture of where energy is being lost and what improvements will have the biggest impact.”
