home energy coaching

Get a Personalized action plan to Help You improve your home & save you money

Book a free 45-minute call with an energy expert to talk about how your home is losing energy and which upgrades will save you the most money.

Tired of guessing which upgrades are actually worth doing?

You've probably heard about heat pumps, insulation, and rebates.

Maybe a contractor has quoted you. Maybe your furnace is aging out and you need to decide fast. But the advice is everywhere and none of it is about your home.

Through the Home Energy Coaching program, you'll get a free, one on one conversation with an independent energy expert who looks at your specific home, your bills, and your goals.

What's your home archetype?

There's a reason home energy upgrades feel confusing.

It's because the answer actually depends on your home, its age, its insulation, its equipment, your energy bill, your goals, and what rebates you qualify for right now. A generic checklist alone can't sort that out. but this quiz can. Find your starting point in 2-minutes or less.

What your coach can help with

Every call is built around your space and situation, but we generally talk about these four topics during our call.

  • Lowering your energy bills

    We'll help you understand where your home is losing energy and which upgrades will have the biggest impact on your monthly costs.

  • Planning your upgrades

    Whether it is a heat pump, new insulation, replacing a furnace or water heater, or thinking about solar on your roof, get independent advice on what to prioritize and why.

  • Making sense of rebates

    We cut through the confusion of provincial and federal programs and tell you exactly what you could qualify for and how much you can save.

  • Finding contractors you can trust

    We'll guide you on how to evaluate quotes, avoid common mistakes, avoid scams, and how to choose a qualified professional.

Don't worry, we can help!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a question that is not on this list, please contact us and we'll be happy to help you.

Is this really free?

Yes, completely free. CCET is a registered nonprofit funded by the Region of Peel, City of Brampton, City of Mississauga, and Town of Caledon to provide independent energy expertise to residents. There is no cost, no catch, and no sales pitch at the end.

Who delivers the coaching call?

Your call is with a certified energy coach from Laszlo Energy Services, our trusted program partner. They are independent energy professionals with years of experience advising homeowners on retrofits, rebates, and home efficiency.

Do I need to own my home to book a call? Is this open to renters?

The program is open to both homeowners and renters.

Does someone come to my house?

No. Home Energy Coaching is a phone consultation, not a home audit. You take the call from wherever is convenient for you.

What if I don't know anything about energy upgrades?

That's okay! Your coach will meet you where you are, whether you're just starting to think about your home's energy use or you already have a specific project in mind.

How long is the call?

Up to 45 minutes, one on one with your coach.

Can I ask about rebates and programs?

Yes. Rebates and incentives are one of the most common topics. Your coach can help you understand what's available, what you qualify for, and how the programs work together.

Will I get recommendations for specific contractors?

Your coach can guide you on how to evaluate contractors, what to look for in a quote, and common red flags. CCET does not sell or endorse specific contractors, but your coach can help you ask the right questions so you can choose with confidence.

What do I need to have ready for the call?

Some basic information about your home is helpful — type of heating and cooling system, approximate age of your major equipment, and any recent energy bills. If you have a specific question or decision you're weighing, bring that too.

What happens after the call?

You'll leave with a clear next step. If you want follow up, you can reach out to CCET any time for additional guidance or to explore our other programs.

What if I need more help than one call?

Start with the free coaching call. If you need more in depth support, your coach will help you understand your options, which may include a full home energy audit through our Energy Retrofit Assistance program (if you're income qualified) or connections to other programs and resources.

I'm outside Ontario. Can I still book?

The program is funded by our Peel Region municipal partners and designed for residents of Brampton, Mississauga, Peel Region and Caledon. If you're outside the region, we recommend reaching out to your local municipality or the Green Communities Canada network to find similar services near you.
