Alberta Mountain Air Is a Calgary CEIP Qualified Contractor

Alberta Mountain Air is proud to participate in Calgary’s Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) as a qualified contractor. For eligible Calgary homeowners, CEIP can provide another way to plan and finance energy-efficiency improvements without paying the entire project cost upfront.

If you are considering an HVAC upgrade, our team can help you understand the equipment options, assess your home’s comfort needs, and prepare a clear quote for an eligible project. Program eligibility and financing approval are determined through CEIP, and the project must follow the program’s required steps.

What Is Calgary’s Clean Energy Improvement Program?

Calgary’s CEIP is a financing program for eligible residential energy-efficiency and renewable-energy improvements. Instead of paying the full project cost upfront, an approved homeowner repays the financing through the property’s regular tax bill.

The City of Calgary’s current program information states that financing may cover up to 100% of eligible project costs, to a maximum of $50,000, with repayment terms of up to 20 years depending on the useful life of the improvement. CEIP is financing, not a rebate, so all borrowed funds must be repaid.

Because the financing is tied to the property, it may remain with the property when it is sold, subject to the program’s disclosure and transfer requirements. Homeowners should review the current terms, application availability, and eligibility rules on the City of Calgary CEIP page before making project decisions.

Why a CEIP Qualified Contractor Matters

Calgary CEIP projects must be completed by a CEIP Qualified Contractor. This helps ensure that participating contractors understand the program process and the documentation an approved project requires.

As a Calgary CEIP Qualified Contractor, Alberta Mountain Air can help with the HVAC portion of an eligible home-energy project, including:

• Assessing your home’s heating and cooling needs
• Explaining suitable high-efficiency equipment options
• Preparing a detailed project quote
• Coordinating the approved installation scope
• Supplying the project documentation required from the contractor

Approval is never automatic. The homeowner, property, proposed equipment, and project must all meet the program’s current requirements before work begins.

Which HVAC Improvements May Be Eligible?

Depending on the current CEIP requirements and the specifications of the proposed equipment, eligible HVAC work may include high-efficiency heating, cooling, or heat-pump improvements. Every home is different, so the right starting point is a professional assessment rather than choosing equipment based only on a model number or advertised efficiency rating.

Our team can discuss options such as a heat pump installation or high-efficiency furnace replacement and help determine whether a proposed system aligns with the published CEIP upgrade criteria. Final eligibility remains subject to the program’s review and approval.

How the Calgary CEIP Process Works

The City outlines a step-by-step process for participating homeowners:

1. Review the program and complete pre-qualification. Confirm that the Calgary property and homeowner meet the basic requirements.
2. Arrange an EnerGuide home evaluation. This assessment identifies the home’s energy performance and potential improvements.
3. Choose a CEIP Qualified Contractor. The contractor evaluates the proposed work and supplies a quote.
4. Submit the project application. CEIP reviews the proposed upgrades and supporting information.
5. Sign the required agreements before work starts. Work should not begin until the project has received the necessary approvals and agreements are in place.
6. Complete the installation and final documentation. The approved improvements are installed and the required post-project steps are completed.
7. Repay the financing through the property tax bill. Repayment follows the terms of the approved financing agreement.

Application periods, funding availability, eligible upgrades, rates, and documentation requirements can change. Always use the official City of Calgary CEIP information as the source for current program rules.
