Energy Rebates

Take advantage of the Ontario Home Energy Audit Program and save!

The Ontario Home Energy Audit Program is an energy conservation program offered by the Government of Ontario that will show you how and where your home loses energy. The Government of Ontario will pay 50% of your Home Energy Audit, up to $150.

There are many benefits to doing a Home Energy Audit. A Home Energy Audit identifies changes you can make to your home that could help you:

• Reduce your annual energy bill by up to 30%; saving hundreds of dollars each year
• Improve your home’s re-sale value
• Make your home more comfortable year round
• Do your part to make Ontario's environment cleaner

The Home Energy Audit will give you a detailed outline of your energy use that will include:

• A basement to attic assessment of your home’s insulation, heating and cooling systems, and other energy uses
• A "blower door" test to detect air leaks and drafts
• A personalized Energy Efficient Evaluation Report and recommendations

The ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program provides grants up to $5,000 to help homeowners make their homes more energy-efficient and reduce the burden of high energy costs. The Government of Canada has renewed the program from June 6, 2011, until March 31, 2012.

Grant amounts are similar to the previous program with some minor changes. New this year, homeowners are now required to register directly with the program before booking their pre- or post-retrofit energy evaluation.

Also, homeowners are required to provide receipts to their energy advisor at the time of the post-retrofit evaluation to confirm that products and equipment were purchased after June 6, 2011 and installed after a pre-retrofit evaluation.
