Access major retrofit projects across Alberta. Product qualification partnerships and market insights.
Retrofits don't fail because contractors lack skill or products – they fail because building owners can't access patient, scalable capital to say "yes" to the full scope of work. CEIP financing changes that by creating a durable, repeatable private-capital channel that lets property owners invest in high-quality upgrades – consistently, at scale, and over decades – not just when a grant pops up.
CEIP enables more owners to proceed with projects by removing the usual barriers (upfront cost, short loan terms, uncertainty at sale). Financing is attached to the property and repaid over long terms, which makes bigger, more comprehensive projects feasible and easier to approve.
Owners can move from "nice idea" to "approved project" because the mechanism is designed for long-term building improvements – exactly the kind you deliver.
Consistent program structure across municipalities reduces complexity and training overhead.
When owners can finance a whole-building solution instead of piecemeal upgrades, you can design work that actually performs: envelope + HVAC + controls + lighting + DHW + renewables. That yields fewer callbacks, clearer performance outcomes, and stronger referrals.
A financing mechanism that's designed to scale attracts repeat demand – creating a pipeline you can staff for, train for, and invest against (instead of feast/famine based on incentives).
With more deals closing and larger project sizes, you can justify:
Predictable demand supports apprenticeship intake, specialized upskilling (heat pump systems, controls, airtightness, envelope detailing, commissioning), and internal process improvements. Owners benefit; your team benefits; your margin stability improves.
CEIP programs are designed to protect owners and support quality delivery by establishing:
This raises trust in the market – making it easier for reputable contractors to win work and harder for bad actors to poison the well.
CEIP creates a long-term, self-sustaining financing engine that helps property owners buy more of what you supply – deeper projects, better outcomes, and repeatable growth. It's not a one-time incentive. It's market infrastructure that can support your business investments in technology, training, and delivering higher client satisfaction – year after year.
