Energy Efficient Housing Program
Recognizing that energy costs in Canada continue to rise, Genworth Financial Canada is helping Canadians purchasing energy-efficient homes, or renovating to energy-efficient standards to combat high-energy costs.
Through Genworth's Energy-Efficient Housing Program, home buyers purchasing an energy-efficient home or refinancing an existing home to make energy-saving renovations with Genworth-insured mortgages are now eligible to receive a 10 per cent premium refund. What's more, they'll also get access to Genworth Financials Homebuyer PrivilegesTM* - an exclusive on-line discount program for commonly purchased household items.
