Each house stands for one in ten of Edmonton's 275,750 houses (single-detached, semi-detached, row and duplex), drawn by when it was built. The glow shows the usual pattern: older houses tend to be leakier and less insulated. Snowfall scales with heating degree-days.

What an evaluation finds in Edmonton homes

Of Edmonton's 275,750 houses (single-detached, semi-detached, row houses and duplexes), 15% were built before 1961 and 52% before 1991, according to the 2021 Census. The typical Edmonton house dates from 1981–1990, and an evaluation is how you find out what that means for yours: the blower door measures air leakage, the advisor inspects the attic, walls, basement, windows and heating system, and the report ranks upgrades by what they'd save.

Edmonton gets about 5,668 heating degree-days a year and has a winter design temperature of −30.8°C, according to NRCan's HOT2000 climate data for Edmonton International, the closest comparable location in that data set (26 km away). That's the 4th-highest heating demand of the 70 cities we cover. The more heating a climate needs, the more each fix is worth, which is why the evaluation's ranked list matters more in some cities than others.

In the Edmonton area, 79% of households heat mainly with a forced-air furnace and 8% with a boiler and radiators; natural gas is the main heating energy for 74% of households and electricity for 15% (Statistics Canada, 2023). The heating system on the report shapes the recommendations: a forced-air furnace invites a ducted heat pump, electric baseboards a ductless one.

What it costs in Edmonton

There's no provincial rebate or price list; the City of Edmonton's guidance is to expect more than $400 and to get two or three quotes.

Most providers quote the initial (pre-upgrade) and follow-up (post-upgrade) visits separately. Rebate programs that pay on measured improvement need both, so ask for the combined price.

How it works

  • Initial evaluation, about 2–3 hours. The advisor measures and inspects the house and runs the blower door test.
  • Report and EnerGuide rating. You get the home's energy rating in gigajoules per year and a list of recommended upgrades with estimated savings.
  • Do the work. Most rebate programs only count upgrades done after the initial evaluation.
  • Follow-up evaluation. A second visit measures the improvement, which is what most rebates pay on.
