Whether you’re planning a full-blown home renovation or just looking to make smaller upgrades, these energy rebates are designed to help you save on costs while improving your home’s energy performance.

Why Energy Efficiency Upgrades are a Smart Move

Energy efficiency isn’t just about reducing utility bills; it’s about creating a greener and more sustainable future. By investing in upgrades like insulation, smart thermostats, and heat pumps, you’re not only cutting down on energy usage but also increasing the comfort and value of your home. The Ontario rebates offered through this program make these upgrades even more accessible, turning costly renovations into a win-win for your wallet and the environment.

Understanding the Save on Energy Rebate Program

Ontario’s home renovation saving rebate program is a government-backed initiative that helps homeowners upgrade their properties with energy-efficient solutions. From improving your home’s insulation to installing energy-efficient heat pumps, there are rebates for almost every upgrade you can think of.

Current Energy Rebate Details

1. Insulation Rebates: Up to $8,900 for home insulation upgrades. 
2. Attic Insulation Rebates: Up to $480 for eligible attic insulation improvements.

These rebates are designed to encourage homeowners to prioritize energy-efficient renovations while offsetting some of the costs associated with these projects.

Focus on Heat Pumps 

Heat pumps are popular because they offer heating, cooling, and dehumidifying capabilities while saving energy and improving comfort year-round. A home energy assessment is not required to qualify for these rebates, making it easier for homeowners to participate. 

How Heat Pumps Work 

Heat pumps are high-efficiency systems that transfer heat to and from your home, capable of functioning even in temperatures as low as -30°C. They use the air to transfer heat, making them a popular choice in Canada. 

How to Qualify and Get Your Energy Rebates 

1. Confirm Your Eligibility: Homeowners must own the property and be either an Enbridge Gas customer or connected to the Ontario electricity grid. 

1. Complete Upgrades: Work with participating HVAC contractors to install your heat pump. 

1. Receive Your Rebate: Contractors handle the documentation; once approved, you’ll receive your rebate within 30 to 60 days.
