The Home Efficiency Rebate initiative offers homeowners all across Ontario up to $5,000 in-home reno rebates.

You can receive rebates for upgrading your home’s: insulation, airtightness, windows, doors, skylights, furnace, and boiler. With a focus on home energy efficiency, these rebates give you an immediate payback and lower hydro bills. To be eligible for this initiative, you must be a Union Gas or an Enbridge Gas customer.

Before starting any renovation work, you must complete a home energy assessment.

A registered energy advisor will look at how your home uses energy and tell you which upgrades will help you save – and how they work together. If you complete at least two of the recommended upgrades, you’ll get money back.

Home Efficiency

What are the rebates?

Get rebates when you install at least two upgrades

Exterior wall insulation Get up to $3,000 back

Without properly insulated walls, outside air can seep in and out, wasting valuable energy dollars.

Basement insulation Get up to $1,250 back

Insulating your basement can keep rooms above more comfortable and prevent moisture damage.

Air sealing Get up to $150 back

Sealing cracks in walls, doors and windows can save money by preventing energy from escaping.

Attic insulation Get up to $750 back

A well-insulated attic prevents air and money from escaping through your roof.

Water heater Get $400 back

Water heating accounts for the second largest energy use in your home, so it’s worth the upgrade.

Furnace Get $250 back

High efficiency pays. You must complete at least three upgrades to qualify for the furnace rebate.

Boiler Get $1,000 Back

Ultra-quiet and more energy-efficient, boilers can help reduce heating costs.

Window/door/skylight Get $40 back for each

Energy-efficient windows, skylights and doors can prevent condensation and eliminate drafts.
