Home Upgrades Program

Read Our Impact Report

Supported by Energy Efficiency Alberta, Empower Me offered energy saving home upgrades to Albertan families struggling with their utility bills.

The Home Upgrades Program helped renters and homeowners reduce their energy consumption by installing energy savings measures, and providing energy education and mentorship. The program provided different levels of support, products, and installations depending on the home, and each households difficulty to pay energy bills. All participants received a free energy savings kit (valued at $90) that included essential items to improve their home’s energy efficiency. Some participants received more in-depth upgrades related to heating, lighting, or insulation if their energy consumption was high and proved difficult for them to pay their bills.

Currently, this energy poverty program is fully subscribed and at capacity. The program was oversubscribed five weeks after market launch, demonstrating a clear market need.

1,700+ Albertans reached out to Empower Me for help across 140 different postal codes.

Canada's Leading Experts

At Empower Me, we understand that not every household is the same. In partnership with Energy Efficiency Alberta, our Home Upgrades Program was the first of its kind in Alberta to help households struggling with their energy bills. The Home Upgrades Program was designed to develop an understanding of the energy issues inside Albertan homes with the goal of expanding by collaborating any governmental department.

Since the early 1990’s, Empower Me’s leadership team has had extensive experience delivering no cost energy efficiency programs to more than 40,000 families in the United Kingdom and Canada. Our team was selected as the delivery agent for BC Hydro’s Energy Conservation Assistance Program, co-designing and delivering the program to over 4,000 families.

Community Connections. Healthier Homes.
