Beginning work before approval disqualifies you from the program.

Your contractor will assist with preparing and submitting the application — confirm this before committing to any purchase or installation date.

HEEL financing can be used alongside Efficiency Manitoba rebates — you can receive a rebate on the same upgrade you are financing through HEEL, effectively reducing the amount you repay.

Confirm with your contractor how to structure this combination correctly.
