Frequently Asked Questions for Renters
Do I need my landlord's permission for an assessment?
For online assessments, no permission is needed. For in-person assessments with major upgrade opportunities, landlord cooperation is required and beneficial.
What if my landlord isn't interested in energy upgrades?
You can still benefit from online assessments, energy-saving tips, and products that don't require property modifications. We can also help you approach your landlord with compelling information about rebate programs.
Can I get rebates directly as a renter?
Some rebates for appliances and products may be available to renters. Major structural improvements typically require property owner participation, but the savings benefit you as the tenant.
How much can I save on my energy bills?
Savings vary by property condition and implemented measures. Even simple changes can reduce bills by 10-15%, while comprehensive upgrades can save 30% or more on energy costs.
What if I move to a different rental?
Energy-saving habits and knowledge travel with you. Many portable efficiency products can be taken to your new rental, and you'll know how to evaluate energy performance in future homes.
