Codes, Incentives & Energy Programs

ThermoDrain is an engineered, third-party certified technology built to maximize building performance, secure lucrative tax credits, and clear modern municipal building code requirements across North America.

1. Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP)

Following the conclusion of the original Greener Homes Grant phase, the federal government launched the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP).

  • The Incentive: Backed by an $800 million budget, this initiative focuses heavily on low- to median-income Canadian households and multi-unit housing structures.
  • How it Applies: Upgrades are facilitated through a professional direct-install and deep-retrofit framework managed by qualified energy experts. Space and water heating upgrades—including high-efficiency, zero-maintenance passive heat recovery loops—are utilized to drive down household base loads.
  • Stackability: Fully compatible and stackable with active provincial utility rebates.

2. Provincial & Utility Rebate Networks

Depending on your province, local utility networks heavily incentivize or directly subsidize the installation of certified DWHR units to protect regional grids during peak electrical demand:

  • Quebec: Under Hydro-Québec's active LogisVert energy efficiency program, homeowners and builders can secure cash rebates for installing qualifying clean technologies.
  • Ontario: Programs like Enbridge Gas Home Renovation Savings offer comprehensive financial incentives for deep-energy mechanical retrofits that decrease domestic water heating requirements.
  • British Columbia: The CleanBC Better Homes network provides clear, dedicated monetary rebates for high-efficiency mechanical upgrades across residential properties.

3. CMHC "Green Home" Premium Refunds

The Incentive: The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers up to a 25% partial premium refund on mortgage loan insurance.

The Requirement: To qualify, the property must demonstrate a greenhouse gas emission rating or energy performance metric that is at least 20% more efficient than a standard new house built strictly to basic code baseline standards. Installing a ThermoDrain unit is an affordable way to cross this threshold in performance-path energy modeling software.
