Burlington homeowners can receive a $1,250 rebate on attic insulation as a standalone upgrade through the Ontario Home Renovation Savings program, administered by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy (IESO). No pre-upgrade energy assessment is required for a standalone attic insulation application. Bundling attic insulation with other eligible measures in a single application can increase the total insulation rebate to up to $7,700, though the bundled path requires a pre-upgrade home energy assessment (a $600 rebate offsets the assessment cost). Burlington has a mix of housing stock: established neighbourhoods including Aldershot, Brant Hills, and south Burlington closer to the lake contain many homes from the 1950s to 1980s that often benefit significantly from attic insulation upgrades. Newer development areas including Alton Village, Millcroft, Tyandaga, and Palmer are generally better insulated. Burlington is in the Enbridge Gas natural gas service area, and Burlington Hydro delivers electricity conservation programs centrally through the IESO. Both Enbridge Gas customers and Burlington Hydro customers are eligible for the Home Renovation Savings program. Programs now closed to new applications include the Canada Greener Homes Loan (2025), the Enbridge HER+ program (December 31, 2025), and the Canada Greener Homes Grant (February 2024). Contractor.ca is not a government program and is not affiliated with Enbridge Gas, the IESO, or the Government of Canada.

How to Claim Attic Insulation Rebates in Burlington

  1. Confirm eligibility at homerenovationsavings.ca

    Visit homerenovationsavings.ca to confirm your home qualifies and review the current rebate amount for attic insulation. Burlington homeowners with active Enbridge Gas or Burlington Hydro service are eligible. Decide whether to apply as a standalone single upgrade or to bundle with other measures for a higher total rebate.

  2. Get quotes from licensed Burlington insulation contractors

    Obtain at least two itemized quotes specifying the current attic R-value, target R-value, total area, insulation type, and any air sealing work included. Contractor.ca can match you with licensed Burlington insulation contractors who are familiar with Home Renovation Savings documentation requirements.

  3. Complete the insulation upgrade

    Have the insulation installed by your licensed contractor. Keep the detailed contractor invoice with materials, labour, installation date, and the contractor's HST number. The City of Burlington does not typically require a building permit for attic insulation unless structural work is involved — confirm with Burlington's Building Department if in doubt.

  4. Apply through homerenovationsavings.ca

    Submit your rebate application online at homerenovationsavings.ca with your contractor invoice, before and after R-value details, and your utility account information. No energy assessment is needed for standalone applications. Rebates are processed and issued after review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What attic insulation rebates are available in Burlington in 2026?

The main program is the Ontario Home Renovation Savings program, which offers a $1,250 rebate for attic insulation as a standalone upgrade — no energy assessment required. If you bundle the insulation with other eligible upgrades (such as a heat pump), the bundled path can provide up to $7,700 for insulation, but requires a pre-upgrade energy assessment (which earns a $600 rebate to offset its cost). Apply through homerenovationsavings.ca.

Do Burlington Hydro customers qualify for attic insulation rebates?

Yes. Burlington Hydro customers are eligible for the Home Renovation Savings program through the IESO. Burlington Hydro has delivered electricity conservation programs centrally through the IESO since April 2019. Burlington homeowners access rebate programs at homerenovationsavings.ca. Enbridge Gas customers in Burlington are also eligible.

What R-value should Burlington attic insulation reach?

Ontario Building Code guidelines and the Home Renovation Savings program align with a minimum R-60 for attic insulation in Ontario's climate. Many Burlington homes built before 1990 have R-20 to R-30 or less in the attic, making them strong candidates for the program. Your insulation contractor will assess the existing R-value and recommend the appropriate upgrade for your home.

Can I bundle attic insulation with a heat pump for a larger Burlington rebate?

Yes. The Home Renovation Savings bundled upgrade path lets you combine attic insulation, a heat pump, and other eligible measures in a single application. The bundled path requires a pre-upgrade home energy assessment, which earns a $600 rebate. Bundling typically increases total rebates significantly compared to standalone applications.

What records do I need to keep for the insulation rebate in Burlington?

Keep your contractor invoice (with materials, labour, area insulated, R-value before and after, contractor HST number), proof of installation date, and your utility account information. The Home Renovation Savings portal will ask for these details when you submit your application online.

Is contractor.ca affiliated with Enbridge Gas or the government?

No. Contractor.ca is an independent contractor matching service. We are not affiliated with Enbridge Gas, the IESO, Save on Energy, or the Government of Canada. Always verify current eligibility and amounts directly at homerenovationsavings.ca before starting work.
