About Simon Wells
After years of living and working overseas, Simon and his family made their way to the beautiful Okanagan to be closer to family — and never looked back. Based in Lake Country, he now gets to combine meaningful work with an incredible place to call home: the lakes, trails, wineries, and a community that genuinely cares about the environment.
As a licensed Registered Energy Advisor, Simon brings technical rigour and practical guidance to every evaluation. Whether you're a homeowner looking to lower your bills, a builder navigating BC Energy Step Code, or a strata council assessing a building-wide retrofit, Simon delivers the analysis and credentials you need — without the jargon.
He serves homeowners, builders, and property managers from Kelowna through to Salmon Arm, with deep familiarity with the climate, housing stock, and rebate programs specific to the region.
On the job
Equipment
Professional-grade airtightness testing used for EnerGuide evaluations, BC Energy Step Code compliance, and mid-construction air barrier verification.
What we offer
From initial evaluation through rebate application, Ecojia guides you through every step of your home's energy journey.
A comprehensive assessment of your home's energy performance, including a detailed audit report, EnerGuide rating, and personalized upgrade recommendations.
Precision airtightness testing to identify air leakage and support BC Energy Step Code compliance for new construction and major renovations.
Detailed computer simulation of your home's thermal performance — the official NRCan tool required for EnerGuide evaluations and Step Code compliance.
Accurate whole-home heat loss and heat gain calculations to ensure HVAC equipment is properly sized — preventing costly oversizing, comfort problems, and premature equipment failure.
Energy audits and retrofit feasibility studies for strata councils, property managers, and developers of 3–6 storey wood-frame buildings.
Comparative analysis of heat pumps, insulation upgrades, window replacements, and DHW systems — with real payback calculations for your home.
Prescriptive and performance path compliance documentation for builders and developers, including mid-construction and final airtightness testing.
We handle the paperwork. Ecojia prepares all required documentation to help you access CleanBC, Canada Greener Homes, and BC Hydro incentives.
New construction & developers
Municipalities across the Okanagan are adopting higher Step Code tiers. Ecojia provides the energy modelling, testing, and compliance documentation builders need — on schedule, without surprises.
HOT2000 models at design stage so you know what Step level your home will achieve before breaking ground. Catch compliance gaps early, not at final inspection.
Blower door testing before drywall so trades can find and seal leaks while walls are still open. Far less costly than failing a final test.
Post-construction blower door test and compliance report submitted to the building department to close out your permit.
Required by many municipalities for mechanical permits. Ensures heating and cooling equipment is correctly sized for the actual home — not guesswork.
Available incentives
An EnerGuide evaluation is often the required first step to unlocking thousands in government rebates. We’ll identify what you qualify for.
Up to $16,000 in provincial rebates for heat pumps, insulation, windows, and other energy-efficient upgrades for BC homeowners.
Federal grants of up to $5,000 plus a $600 EnerGuide evaluation reimbursement — requires a pre- and post-retrofit assessment.
Incentives for heat pump water heaters, smart thermostats, and whole-home electrification upgrades for BC Hydro customers.
Rebates on high-efficiency space heating, hot water, and smart home products for natural gas customers in the Okanagan.
We provide the modelling and compliance documentation builders need to meet municipal Step Code requirements across BC.
Multi-unit programs through CleanBC and BC Hydro support common-area and building-wide retrofits for strata councils.
How it works
Getting your home evaluated is straightforward. Here’s what to expect when you work with Ecojia.
We discuss your home, goals, and which programs you may qualify for — no obligation.
Simon visits your home to assess insulation, heating systems, windows, and airtightness.
You receive an EnerGuide rating and a prioritized list of upgrades with costs and savings.
We handle all paperwork for eligible programs so you get your rebates faster.
After upgrades are complete, a final assessment confirms performance and closes rebate files.
