Métis Energy Efficiency Offers
FREE ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADES, DESIGNED FOR YOU
Lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable by getting free and subsidized energy efficiency upgrades. This program is designed to help Red River Métis homeowners and renters save on their energy bills by providing affordable energy efficiency upgrades for their home. If you’re renting a home, we can work with your landlord to have energy efficiency upgrades completed in the house you’re living in.
Our team of dedicated professionals takes care of everything and manages the entire process. We identify eligible improvements, connect you with registered contractors, and take care of the payment, helping you save even more.
We’re partnering with the Manitoba Métis Federation to help raise awareness of these offers.
