For many lower-income households in Alberta, high energy bills are driven by older, inefficient homes that are expensive to heat and maintain. Without the means to make upgrades, energy efficiency upgrades often remain out of reach, leaving many families paying more each month for homes that use more energy than they should.
The Home Upgrades Program, delivered by Kambo Energy Group, removes these barriers by providing fully subsidized home energy retrofits at no cost to participants. The program includes home energy assessments, safety inspections, and tailored upgrades such as insulation, high-efficiency heating systems, and energy-saving devices. Multilingual education and community-based support help participants understand and maintain improvements over time.
Since its launch, the program has upgraded over 800 households and supported more than 3,000 Albertans through education and outreach. Participating homes achieve an average lifetime reduction of 40 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions while improving safety, comfort, and affordability.
