N
ew home builders participating in the EnerGuide* initiative work with an
energy advisor to develop energy efficiency upgrade packages that they can
offer you before construction of your house begins. After a house is completed
the energy advisor visits the home to verify that the energy efficiency upgrades were
included as planned. The homeowner is then provided with the evaluation report and
official label that shows the EnerGuide rating of the home.
An EnerGuide rating shows you, and future buyers, exactly how energy efficient your
home is at the time of construction. The rating is calculated based on standard operation
assumptions so that you can compare the performance of one house to another.
STEP 1 - REGISTRATION The builder must first register with Natural Resources Canada
(NRCan) by completing the EnerGuide Rating System (ERS) Initiative Enrolment Form.
STEP 2 - ENROLMENT OF HOME The Builder completes the ERS Home Enrolment Form for
each house they wish to enroll. Each house enrolled in the program will be charged the
enrolment fee and must have its own blower door test conducted in order to receive
the EnerGuide label.
STEP 3 - PLAN EVALUATION The builder chooses a Certified Energy Advisor (CEA) in their
area to perform the Plan Evaluations and fan testing. The Energy Advisor’s listed are
certified by CHBA BC to perform plan evaluations in BC.
STEP 4 – FINAL CERTIFICATION LABEL The completed files with all required information are
sent to Natural Resources Canada to register and approve file results. Once the home
rating is approved by NRCan, CHBA BC will issue an EnerGuide Rating System label
and a homeowner’s report to the builder for signing and forwarding to the homeowner.
The label should be prominently and permanently displayed as this is the proof of the
homes high energy efficiency standard. This label is backed by the Government of Canada
and it shows the consumer that a trusted, independent expert from the EnerGuide rating
system initiative has evaluated the home for energy efficiency.

PROJECTS DONE RIGHT
Hiring a professional contractor
Y
ou want to work with a reputable contractor – one that treats you
fairly and honestly, puts their promises in writing, and backs up their
work. You should not deal with anyone who offers a special price if
you pay cash and nothing gets written down. A cash deal means a lot more
risk for you, and far less control over how your project turns out. And that’s
no deal at all.
How can you be sure everything is being done properly and above-board?
STEP 1: GET INFORMED
Knowledge can protect you from risks. Home renovation
and construction is a complex process. As a consumer, you need to know where you stand
and that your interests are protected. Don’t sign a contract unless you are satisfied that
it includes all the necessary information and fully represents what you have agreed to.
These items should be addressed in a written contract:
Building codes and permits. Most projects, even minor ones, require a building permit
and must adhere to code requirements. As the homeowner, you are responsible for
ensuring this happens. Your contractor can usually look after this on your behalf.
Insurance. Does your Homeowner’s Insurance cover construction-related risks?
Liens. Each province has requirements for holding back a portion of all payments to your
contractor for a set period of time. Doing this protects you from claims if the contractor
fails to pay suppliers and subcontractors.
Workers’ Compensation. Those employed to work on your property may require
coverage under provincial Workers’ Compensation programs. Without it, you could be
liable in the event of a workplace injury.
Warranties. Professional renovators provide a clear written warranty on their work.
Custom new home builders should provide a third-party new home warranty.
26
Get it in Writing
STEP 2: HIRE A PROFESSIONAL
Know who you’re dealing with. How can you find
a good professional contractor? Ask around. Some of the best recommendations come
from friends, family, co-workers and neighbours who have had positive experiences.
Other sources of information include:
• Home Builders’ or trade associations
• Building materials stores
• Utility companies
• Better Business Bureaus
How do you know they are on the level? Professionals provide the following, often as
part of your written contract:
✓ Full contract information, including name,
✓ Their government issued Business
address and phone number
Number or GST number, and proof of
✓ Confirmation of business liability
any business licence required by the
insurance that protects you and third
municipality
parties, such as neighbours
✓ A clear written warranty specifying what is
✓ Proof of Workers’ Compensation coverage
covered and for how long
STEP 3: GET CONTROL
Get it in Writing! Professional contractors always work
with a proper, written contract. A contract spells out a clear project plan and what you
and your contractor have agreed to. It is the best way to protect yourself and ensure
things go as planned – and a valuable part of what a professional contractor provides.
A written contract should include the following:
✓ A full description of the work, including
✓ The contractor’s warranty detailing what
the materials and products to be used
is covered and for how long
✓ Dates when the work will start and be
✓ Confirmation that the contractor has
completed
business liability coverage for your
✓ A clear payment schedule that lays out
project, and that required Workers’
when and how much you will be charged,
Compensation coverage is in place
and what lien holdbacks are required
Don’t sign a contract unless you are satisfied that it includes all the necessary information
and accurately and fully represents what you have agreed to.
