The A2ZERO Home Energy Rebate Program offers a rebate reservation system to help ensure funds are available for your project when you need them.

Once your income-qualification has been confirmed, or you confirm you are eligible for market-rate rebates, select the measures you are interested in and reserve rebate funds. Complete the Rebate Reservation Application online or by submitting a PDF of the Rebate Reservation Application by email, mail, or fax.  Provide your personal details and information about the planned project, including the type of equipment or measures you intend to install. Submit the application. You will receive a Rebate Reservation Code by email if your application is approved. Approval may take up to 10 business days.

Once your rebate is reserved, you or your contractor will have 90 days to complete the project. 

Note: Contractors can also claim the rebate on behalf of residents. They can apply the rebate amount as a deduction from the total cost of the eligible measures, making the process even easier for residents. In order for a contractor to claim the rebate, the invoice must show that the full amount of the rebate has been deducted from the total cost of the project.

Once you have your reservation code, complete your project within 90 days of rebate reservation approval. Ensure all work is completed by a licensed contractor and collect all necessary supporting documentation.
