Energy Efficient Homes

What is this program?

This mortgage product offers a 25% refund on your mortgage insurance premium when buying an energy efficient home or if you are deciding to make energy saving renovations.

This program is available for all mortgage products. Mortgage insurance is not cheap, so a 25% refund is significant. For example, if you paid a $12,000 mortgage insurance premium, you would be getting $3000 back. What would you do with that money?
