CEIP - Calgary | EnerGuide Evaluation | AmeriSpec InspectionExperts

Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) Alberta

EnerGuide Audits for Residential Financing

Calgary homeowners planning energy efficiency upgrades through the Clean Energy Improvement Program require two mandatory EnerGuide Home Evaluations — one before upgrades begin and one after they are complete. AmeriSpec InspectionExperts delivers both evaluations as a CEIP-listed Qualified Contractor and NRCan-registered Service Organization serving Calgary and surrounding communities. Program intake rounds open with limited notice and close when submission limits are reached. Verify current intake status and the confirmed interest rate at calgary.ca/CEIP before taking any action.

AmeriSpec InspectionExperts' Calgary Focus

Calgary's residential housing stock spans a wide range of construction eras — from pre-1960 character homes in communities like Killarney, Inglewood, and Ramsay, through the rapid suburban expansion of the 1970s and 1980s in communities like Marlborough, Pineridge, and Shawnessy, to newer builds in Livingston, Glacier Ridge, and University District. Homes built before 1990 typically carry insulation levels well below today's recommended standards — attic insulation at R-20 to R-28 where R-50 to R-60 is now recommended — and building envelopes that have been subjected to decades of Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles and chinook-driven pressure swings. These conditions create air leakage pathways that develop gradually and invisibly. A blower door test during the pre-project EnerGuide evaluation measures exactly how much air your home is losing — and the Renovation Upgrade Report ranks which improvements will have the greatest impact on your specific home.

AmeriSpec provides the essential documentation, technical modeling, and roadmap required to successfully participate in the CEIP program. We guide you through the complete lifecycle—from pre-audit preparation to post-upgrade verification—for high-impact improvements like solar, heat pumps, and insulation. Book your Calgary audit today to secure your path to trusted Alberta home energy financing.

Visit myCEIP.ca for the most current information on program locations and status. As of 2026, high demand has placed several municipalities—including Okotoks—into waitlisting status. Because each city enacts its own Clean Energy Improvement bylaw, eligibility and upgrade lists vary by location. We recommend verifying your local requirements through our expert guidance before initiating your application.

CEIP Services across communities in Calgary

The pre-project EnerGuide Home Evaluation — also referred to as a pre-retrofit energy audit Calgary homeowners complete before upgrades begin — establishes your home's baseline energy rating and is required before your CEIP project application can be submitted.

The post-project EnerGuide Home Evaluation — also referred to as a post-retrofit EnerGuide assessment — must be completed within six weeks of upgrade completion and is required to confirm financing eligibility.

Other inspection services across communities in Calgary

AmeriSpec InspectionExperts delivers a full range of services across Calgary that connect directly to your CEIP project and your property's long-term performance.

Solar Panel Inspection

If your CEIP project includes solar photovoltaic installation — one of the most common and highest-value eligible upgrades — AmeriSpec InspectionExperts provides a SPRK-certified solar panel inspection after your system is installed. The inspection assesses panel performance, wiring condition, inverter operation, and roof attachment points, and generates a 10-year production report. For CEIP participants, this gives you an independent performance baseline for your new system — separate from your contractor's own documentation — and confirmation that the installation meets the standards required for your Upgrade Completion Form submission. If you already have solar panels and are planning other CEIP upgrades, a solar inspection confirms your existing system's condition before you commit to additional investment.

Rental Property and CEIP

Calgary landlords who own eligible residential rental properties — single detached, semi-detached, row house, or townhome — may qualify for CEIP financing for energy efficiency upgrades. The property type eligibility does not distinguish between owner-occupied and rental use. The property owner is always the applicant — tenants cannot apply. All owners on title must sign every form and agreement. The municipality retains discretion to assess whether the property is being used primarily for residential housing purposes. Long-term residential rental properties are generally in the best position to qualify. Contact AmeriSpec InspectionExperts to discuss your specific property situation before preparing your application — we can help you understand whether your rental property is likely eligible based on the program terms. For a complete picture of your rental property's condition alongside the energy audit, book a Rental Property Inspection at the same visit.

11-Month Warranty Inspection and CEIP

If you purchased a new Calgary home in the past year — in communities including Livingston, Belmont, Glacier Ridge, University District, Rangeview, or Hotchkiss, and across Calgary Metropolitan Region— your builder's warranty is approaching its one-year expiry. Two things are worth knowing. First, new construction homes as defined by NRCan standards — those less than six months from first occupancy — are not eligible for CEIP. Once your home is older than six months from first occupancy it may qualify. Second, an 11-month warranty inspection and a pre-project EnerGuide evaluation completed in the same visit gives you a complete picture of your home's physical condition and energy performance before your builder's warranty expires and before you commit to CEIP-funded upgrades. Deficiencies identified in the warranty inspection — insulation gaps, air sealing issues, mechanical deficiencies — may overlap with the upgrade priorities identified in your Renovation Upgrade Report. Knowing both at the same time means smarter upgrade decisions and a stronger warranty claim.

CEIP Program Disclosure & Disclaimer

AmeriSpec InspectionExperts is an independent CEIP Qualified Contractor; we are not agents, representatives, or employees of Alberta Municipalities or any participating municipality. The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is a residential financing initiative—not a rebate or grant—whereby 100% of eligible project costs are conveniently repaid through a Clean Energy Improvement tax (a separate charge) on your municipal property tax bill.

Participation in CEIP may save you money on energy costs, but energy savings are not guaranteed and may not cover the monthly financing charge. While CEIP payments may be transferable to a new owner upon the sale of the property, specific circumstances (such as conditions of sale or lender requirements) may require the balance to be repaid in full to close the sale.

Program terms, eligibility criteria, interest rates, and the list of eligible upgrades are established by Alberta Municipalities and the respective municipality and are subject to change without notice. Not all upgrades or services featured on this website may be eligible for CEIP financing. AmeriSpec InspectionExperts does not provide tax advice; please consult a tax professional regarding your specific situation.
