FREE ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADES, DESIGNED FOR YOU

Lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable by getting free or subsidized energy efficient upgrades. This program is designed to help low- to- moderate income Red River Métis homeowners and renters save on their energy bills by providing affordable energy efficiency upgrades for their home.

Efficiency Manitoba is partnering with the Manitoba Métis Federation to help raise awareness of these offers.
