ECAP Retrofits Homes
This is great video sharing from Ecotrust about people in BC getting help retrofitting their homes.
Ecotrust is highlighting how ECAP home retrofits save money and help people to reduce pollution and stay safer.
Through our Community Energy Program’s work on the ground, we see the positive impacts of home energy retrofits every day. The impacts on people’s lives include energy and cost savings, improved health, safety, well-being, aging in place, and resilience in extreme weather. The benefits are far-reaching, diverse, and unique to each household, and numbers in a report don’t fully capture them.
To offer a glimpse into the experiences of homeowners who, with guidance from our Home Energy Savings Program, accessed financial support through government-supported retrofit programs, we are sharing the stories of seniors, families, and community organizers in a series of short videos.
We hope hearing directly from people will show decision-makers the value of these retrofits and encourage renewed funding so BC residents most in need can access these impactful renovations.
“Without the funding from ECAP [Energy Conservation Assistance Program], I wouldn’t have gotten a heat pump because I couldn’t afford it.” — Carol Woolsey, Quadra Island
