CEIP in Leduc: The Program Has Closed to New Applications
The City of Leduc is no longer accepting applications for its Clean Energy Improvement Program.
If you’ve been reading about CEIP and planning to apply, that’s the thing to know before you go any further. Leduc ran one of the better versions of this program in the region, and the window has closed.
If you were approved before it did, nothing about your agreement changes. If you weren’t, there are still sensible ways to pay for the work, and we’ll walk through them below.
The program has closed
Leduc is not accepting new CEIP applications. Agreements already in place are unaffected — if you’ve been approved, your rate, your term and your incentive stand as agreed.
What Leduc offered
Worth knowing what the program was, both so you can recognise it if you’re already in and so you know what to watch for if the City opens it again.
An unusual interest structure.
Rather than a flat rate, Leduc charged 0% on the first 73% of the project and BMO prime on the rest, adjusted yearly. At 5% prime that blended to roughly 1.35%.
A $1,350 tax incentive.
Applied to reduce the amount financed, on the same mechanism as the other municipalities: not a cheque, just less owing at the end of the job.
Up to 100% of project costs.
Repaid on the property tax bill over as long as 20 years, with no penalty for paying it off early or when the house sold.
An EV charger rebate.
Up to $600, or half the cost of installing a Level 2 charger, whichever came to less. Separate from the financing itself.
If you're already in the program
Closing to new applications doesn’t affect agreements already in place. Two things still apply to you.
Both energy evaluations are still required. The pre-project one before any work starts, the post-project one after. Skipping the second costs you your financing and your incentive.
Your equipment still has to meet Leduc’s requirements. Leduc set a higher bar than most for water heating — a tankless unit needs an EF of 0.9 or UEF of 0.72, and a storage tank needs an EF of 0.8 or UEF of 0.64. We’ll confirm the equipment on your quote meets it.
If you’re mid-project and need a qualified contractor, we can help. Modern Air & Water is an approved CEIP contractor.
Your options now
Without CEIP, most Leduc homeowners go with regular equipment financing. We offer it through FinanceIt, and it covers the same work — furnace, heat pump, air conditioning, a tankless conversion, a water heater. Approval usually happens during or shortly after your estimate.
You also lose nothing on the equipment side. The high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps and tankless units that qualified under CEIP are the same ones we install regardless. And manufacturer rebates still apply — we’re currently taking up to $1,700 off qualifying AirEase furnace and heat pump systems, which has nothing to do with municipal programs.
Worth checking
Programs reopen. Leduc funded this once and could fund it again, and municipalities across Alberta have joined and expanded CEIP in waves since it launched.
If a new furnace isn’t urgent, it costs nothing to check with the City of Leduc or at ceip.abmunis.ca before you commit to another route. If your furnace is struggling now, waiting on a program that may not return isn’t a plan — and we’d tell you the same thing if you called us.
