Grande Prairie's northern location means some of the longest, coldest winters in Alberta — and heating systems that run nearly year-round. HES helps Grande Prairie homeowners access approved cost-neutral retrofit programmes designed to lower energy use, with no upfront cost.
About this programme
HES helps homeowners in Grande Prairie and the surrounding northwestern Alberta region assess whether their home fits an approved retrofit programme. HES is not a contractor — all installations in Grande Prairie are completed by approved programme contractors.
If you'd like the full overview of how the broader programme works, our How It Works section walks through every step, and our FAQ answers the most common questions from homeowners.
Common upgrades
Programmes vary, and not every home receives every upgrade. These are the retrofits we most often see help Grande Prairie homeowners lower their energy costs.
Grande Prairie's extreme winter lows make insulation and air sealing some of the highest-payback upgrades available.
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling efficiently, which suits a lot of Grande Prairie homes.
Switching off propane or oil to a modern high-efficiency system is a common upgrade path for Grande Prairie homes.
Smart thermostats fine-tune when and how your Grande Prairie home is heated and cooled, without changing your habits.
