Residential Property
Doors, Windows & Insulation
Replace your windows and add insulation to keep heat where it belongs—inside your home
From better insulation to energy-efficient windows, a wide range of energy efficiency upgrades are now more accessible thanks to the flexible financing of CEIP.
The following are eligible upgrades:
Upgrade ID: R-WB-001
Attic insulation reduces heat loss through the attic area of the building envelope. This reduces the load on the heating and/or cooling system.
This upgrade can also improve airtightness.
Effective Useful Life: 20 years
Eligibility Requirements
- Final insulation, including existing and added insulation, must be equal to or greater than R-28.
- Must cover a minimum of 20 per cent of the total attic area.
- Must have a manufacturer’s warranty for a period consistent with the industry standard and not less than one year.
- Must have a warranty provided by the Qualified Contractor for defects in materials and labour for a period of not less than one year.
- City of Edmonton additional eligibility requirements: A minimum of R-50 for the final insulation for attic spaces or R-28 for flat or cathedral ceilings.

Upgrade ID: R-WB-002
Wall insulation (installed inside an exterior wall cavity or as part of an added structure on the outside of the building) reduces heat loss through the above-grade wall areas of the building envelope. This reduces the load on the heating and/or cooling system.
This upgrade can also improve air tightness.
Effective Useful Life: 20 years
Eligibility Requirements
- Final insulation, including existing and added insulation, must be equal to or greater than R-21.
- Must cover a minimum of 20 per cent of the total exterior above grade wall area.

- Both cavity and exterior wall insulation are eligible.
- Must have a manufacturer’s warranty for a period consistent with the industry standard and not less than one year.
- Must have a warranty provided by the Qualified Contractor for defects in materials and labour for a period of not less than one year.

Upgrade ID: R-WB-003
Insulation added to the walls and/or ground of the basement or the floor of a crawlspace significantly reduces heat loss through the areas of the building envelope in contact with earth.
This upgrade can also improve airtightness.
Effective Useful Life: 20 years
Eligibility Requirements
- A minimum of R-12 of insulation must be added to basement or crawlspace walls and/or floor.
- Must cover a minimum of 20 per cent of the total foundation wall and/or floor area.
- Must not be added to the ceiling of a crawlspace.
- Must have a manufacturer’s warranty for a period consistent with the industry standard and not less than one year.
- Must have a warranty provided by the Qualified Contractor for defects in materials and labour for a period of not less than one year.

Upgrade ID: R-WB-004
Insulation added to the cavities around rim joists reduces heat loss through these areas of the building envelope. This reduces the load on the heating and/or cooling system.
This upgrade can also improve airtightness.
Effective Useful Life: 20 years
Eligibility Requirements
- Final insulation, including existing and added insulation, must be equal to or greater than R-12.
- Must be added to cavities around rim joists.
- All joints must be air sealed with caulk or spray foam.
- Must have a manufacturer’s warranty for a period consistent with the industry standard and not less than one year.
- Must have a warranty provided by the Qualified Contractor for defects in materials and labour for a period of not less than one year.
