The City of Calgary is offering free do-it-yourself (DIY) RetroKits delivered right to your door. Each kit includes easy-to-use items like faucet aerators, outlet gaskets for draft proofing and smart power bars at no cost to income-qualified households. RetroKits come with simple, step-by-step instructions and you should receive your kit within 2-4 weeks of applying.
RetroKits are available to income-qualified Calgarians — both homeowners and renters. Eligibility is based on the number of people living in the home and the total household income (including income from anyone 18 or older who lives in the home).
RetroKits include products that you can easily install on your own to reduce your gas, electricity, and water use. Each kit comes with step-by-step instructions and the following items:
“The RetroKit is an excellent start for households that haven’t done many energy efficiency upgrades previously. They don’t realize that they could cut [usage] by 10%, maybe 20% if they implemented all these things.”
