Save Up to 25% on Your Mortgage Insurance with the New CMHC Eco Plus Rebate
If you’re buying a newly built home — meaning a home that has never been occupied — the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has a new Eco Plus program that rewards energy efficiency with a rebate of up to 25% of your mortgage loan insurance premium.
If your mortgage is insured through CMHC and your home meets certain energy performance standards, you could qualify — and Green Venture can help you get there with a certified EnerGuide evaluation.
What Is the CMHC Eco Plus Rebate?
The CMHC Eco Plus program provides a partial refund (up to 25%) on your mortgage loan insurance premium when your home achieves an approved level of energy efficiency.
To qualify, you must:
-
Have a CMHC-insured mortgage on a newly built home
-
Own or build a home that meets recognized energy efficiency standards, such as an eligible EnerGuide rating, verified by a certified energy advisor
The application for the rebate must be submitted within 24 months of your mortgage closing date.
Why It Matters
Energy-efficient homes save energy, lower utility costs, and create healthier, more comfortable living spaces. With CMHC Eco Plus, you can also save on your financing costs — making efficiency improvements even more worthwhile.
Benefits include:
-
Up to 25% of your CMHC mortgage insurance premium refunded
-
Lower monthly energy bills
- A more comfortable and resilient home
- Support for a more sustainable future in your community
