Saskatchewan's Home Efficiency Retrofit Rebate ended in April 2026, and no rebate has replaced it. What's left is the Home Renovation Tax Credit (10.5%, up to $420 a year), SaskEnergy rebates on high-efficiency gas equipment, and free upgrades for income-qualified homes. Air sealing and insulation still pay back, just through your bills instead of a rebate cheque.
Wartime and post-war stock in Regina and Saskatoon with empty walls and thin attics, farmhouses exposed to open-prairie wind, and winters that hold deep cold for months. Blower-door numbers here translate to real dollars faster than almost anywhere.
Ended April 2026
SaskPower and SaskEnergy say it ended in April 2026, and SaskEnergy's Energy Efficiency Discounts Program ended July 27, 2026. We list them because much of the internet still advertises them; don't budget around either.
Gas equipment rebates · free income-qualified upgrades
SaskEnergy pays $325–$1,000 for replacing a gas furnace, boiler or water heater with a high-efficiency model (apply within 120 days). SaskPower's Energy Assistance Program gives income-qualified households free upgrades, including a smart thermostat if eligible, and participants may qualify for SaskEnergy's free furnace upgrade. Neither utility lists a heat pump rebate.
10.5% · up to $420 a year ($525 seniors)
A non-refundable provincial credit for 2025 and later tax years: 10.5% of renovation expenses above $1,000, up to $5,000 ($6,000 for seniors), incurred on or after October 1, 2024 on your principal residence. Windows, doors, furnaces and ventilation qualify; your own labour and appliances don't.
announced National Heat Pump Rebate (new): Announced October 8, 2026 and expected to open early 2027: $2,000 toward an eligible cold-climate air-source heat pump, or up to $10,000 for households below the median income. Apply online, approval within 24 hours, no EnerGuide evaluation, and it can be combined with provincial rebates. Not open yet. What we know → ↗
closed Canada Greener Homes Grant & Loan: The grant closed to new applicants in February 2024; the interest-free loan (up to $40,000) stopped taking applications October 1, 2025 and its funding is fully committed. Approved applicants keep their funding — new ones can't join. ↗
live Greener Homes Affordability Program: Free direct-install retrofits (insulation, heat pumps) for low-to-median-income owners and tenants, expanded June 29, 2026 with over $500 million, delivered through provincial partners in BC, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, PEI and Quebec (Quebec's 2026–27 registration has ended), with more to be listed. You apply through your province's program, never through cold-callers. ↗
closed Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA): Closed to new applications July 31, 2026 (approved participants have until January 31, 2027 to submit receipts). Where NRCan delivered it directly (Alberta, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Quebec and Saskatchewan), it paid up to $10,000 toward oil-to-heat-pump conversions for income-qualified households. ↗
Each city page covers 16 audit and testing services with that city's own climate, housing age and service organizations. The bar shows its houses by construction era, oldest first.
Local geology, water sources, and climate set the home-health checklist. Each item links to its full guide; the 30-second screener personalizes it to your exact house.
Saskatchewan consistently ranks among the higher radon regions in national surveying. Every basement bedroom is a reason to run the winter kit.
Bacteria plus nitrates near cropland — test on the seasonal rhythm and add chemistry panels; your provincial lab or health office lists the route.
Winter air this cold drives indoor humidity to extremes — a hygrometer per level tells you whether you're too dry (January) or too damp (July basement).
Dual-fuel and wood-assisted heating is common — in-date alarms by every sleeping area and annual servicing are the baseline.
