takeCHARGE home rebates open
Administered by takeCHARGE, the joint efficiency brand of Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro.
Newfoundland and Labrador's everyday utility rebates, for homes that heat with electricity. Insulation, air sealing, duct insulation and ventilation. The electric-heat requirement is the thing that catches people out: an oil-heated home gets nothing here except the ventilator rebate.

What it pays
| Upgrade | Condition | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Attic insulation | 75% of the cost of attic insulation, plus up to $500 towards labour for the same area | $1,500 |
| Foundation insulation | 75% of the cost of basement insulation, plus up to $500 towards labour for the same area | $1,500 |
| Air sealing | Existing home: blower door tests before and after, and at least a 10% improvement. Pro-rated from $200 at 10% to $750 at 30% or better | $200–$750 |
| Air sealing | Done with an attic insulation replacement in a home built before 2014, by a takeCHARGE-approved installer: $0.50 per square foot sealed, paid to the installer | $750 |
| Air sealing | New construction, within 12 months of the occupancy permit: $200 at 2.5 air changes per hour, rising to $750 at 0.6 or tighter | $200–$750 |
| Duct insulation | 50% of the cost of insulating ducts that serve the primary heating system and run through an unheated basement, crawl space or attic | $500 |
| Heat recovery ventilation | A qualifying HRV or ERV installed by an HRAI-certified installer. Open to homes with any heat source, unlike the rest of this table | $225 |
Who is eligible
- homeowners only
- Yes
- tenure
- Homeowners, contractors and landlords with an active electricity account may all claim.

- Your primary heat source must be electric. If you use another heat source as well, the home must use at least 15,000 kWh of electricity a year.
- home
- On a permanent foundation and intended as a primary residence.
- air sealing
- Every air sealing pathway needs a heat recovery ventilator or air exchanger in the home. The existing-home pathway needs a blower door test before and after the work by an approved professional.

The thing most pages get wrong
Every one of these rebates except the ventilator rebate is gated on electric heat. A home heated by oil does not qualify for takeCHARGE insulation or air sealing money at all. Its route is the Oil to Electric programme, and only once it has switched.
Recent change
When this page was checked on 5 September 2026 it recorded one air sealing rebate of up to $500. takeCHARGE now publishes three pathways, for existing homes, new homes and attic insulation jobs, each paying up to $750, and all three require a heat recovery ventilator or air exchanger in the home.
