Find a home energy auditor (EnerGuide evaluation) in Canada

In Canada, a home energy audit is called an EnerGuide evaluation. It’s done by a registered energy advisor who works for a service organization licensed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), and it’s the audit rebate programs accept. How you book one depends on your province, so start with yours below.

The 70 city lists above come from NRCan’s register of licensed service organizations (checked September 28, 2026), and those organizations serve postal codes around each city too, so the nearest city is a good place to start. Or email us your postal code and we’ll tell you who serves it. If you haven’t yet, get your free plan first: it lists the tests to ask for.

Good to know

Who does a home energy audit in Canada?

A registered energy advisor who works for a service organization licensed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Their visit is called an EnerGuide evaluation, and it’s the audit that rebate programs ask for when they need one. Sales visits sold as a “free audit” don’t count.

Do I book the advisor myself?

In most provinces, yes: you call a licensed service organization that serves your postal code. In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Yukon, the provincial or territorial program arranges subsidized evaluations, and in Quebec the Rénoclimat program sets the rules. Each province’s section below says which route applies.

What if my town isn’t listed?

Licensed organizations serve postal codes, not just cities, so the nearest covered city’s list is a good start: most of its organizations also travel to the surrounding area. You can also ask us, and we’ll tell you who serves your postal code.
