The housing stock, read like an auditor
Island farmhouses and village homes with long exposure to wind and salt air, a post-war ring around Charlottetown, and one of Canada's fastest heat-pump adoption curves — driven by years of aggressive conversion programs.

Insulation rebates · free income-qualified upgrades
Home Insulation Rebates + income streams
Assessment recommendations feed the insulation rebate program; income-qualified Islanders have free-upgrade streams, and PEI is a Greener Homes Affordability delivery province.
The federal picture, honestly
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 — currently delivered in BC, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Quebec through provincial partners, 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). It paid up to $15,000 (plus a one-time $250 payment) toward oil-to-heat-pump conversions for income-qualified households. ↗

Monitor & test in Prince Edward Island
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.
Wells and nitrates
PEI is Canada's most groundwater-dependent province — everyone's water is well water. Nitrates from the Island's agriculture belong on your testing panel as a standing item.
Radon
Island sediments vary; homes above the guideline turn up here as everywhere. One winter kit settles your house.
Wind-driven rain
Exposed island weather works older envelopes hard — check moisture paths before insulating, and keep bath fans terminating outside, not in attics.
Heat pump reality check
With heat pumps near-universal in new installs, sizing discipline matters: the F280 calculation keeps PEI's favourite upgrade actually performing.
