The Ontario Home Renovation Savings program is the main active rebate program for Ontario homeowners in 2026. Administered jointly by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy (IESO), it offers up to $7,500 for an eligible cold-climate air-source heat pump, up to $12,000 for a ground-source heat pump, and $1,250 for standalone attic insulation. No pre-upgrade home energy assessment is required for single-upgrade applications. Bundling two or more eligible upgrades in a single application increases the total rebate amount and requires a pre-upgrade energy assessment, which earns a $600 rebate to offset its cost. Both Enbridge Gas customers and customers of eligible Ontario electric utilities can access the program. Apply online through homerenovationsavings.ca after your installation is complete. contractor.ca is not a government program and is not affiliated with Enbridge Gas, the IESO, or the Government of Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rebates does the Home Renovation Savings program offer?

The program offers up to $7,500 for an eligible cold-climate air-source heat pump, up to $12,000 for a ground-source heat pump, and $1,250 for attic insulation as a standalone upgrade. Bundling multiple upgrades in one application can increase the total insulation rebate to up to $7,700. Apply through homerenovationsavings.ca.

Do I need a home energy assessment to get the rebate?

No, not for a standalone single upgrade. The Home Renovation Savings program allows single-upgrade applications without a pre-upgrade energy assessment. If you bundle two or more upgrades in one application, a pre-upgrade energy assessment is required - and you earn a $600 rebate to offset the cost of the assessment.

Who qualifies for the Home Renovation Savings program?

Ontario homeowners who own and occupy their primary residence and have an active Enbridge Gas account or are served by an eligible Ontario electric utility qualify. The heat pump must be installed by a licensed contractor and appear on the Natural Resources Canada qualified products list. Check homerenovationsavings.ca for current eligible equipment.

Is the Canada Greener Homes Loan still available?

No. The Canada Greener Homes Loan closed to new applications in 2025 when funding was fully committed. The Enbridge HER+ program also closed on December 31, 2025. The Home Renovation Savings program at homerenovationsavings.ca is the current main rebate program for Ontario homeowners.
