What an evaluation finds in Regina homes
Of Regina's 69,170 houses (single-detached, semi-detached, row houses and duplexes), 22% were built before 1961 and 70% before 1991, according to the 2021 Census. The typical Regina house dates from 1971–1980, 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.
Regina gets about 5,597 heating degree-days a year and has a winter design temperature of −32.4°C, according to NRCan's HOT2000 climate data for Regina International. That's the 5th-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 Regina area, 76% of households heat mainly with a forced-air furnace and about 10% with a boiler and radiators; natural gas is the main heating energy for 70% of households and electricity for 19% (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 Regina
There's no provincial rebate; the City of Saskatoon quotes $500–$600 as typical for the initial EnerGuide evaluation and $300–$400 for the follow-up.
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.
