The all-new Home Renovation Savings Program, launched on January 28, 2025, offers Ontario homeowners rebates for improving their home insulation, air sealing, and more. With up to $5,000 available for Enbridge natural gas heated homes and up to $10,000 for electrically heated homes, the Home Renovation Savings Program helps make improving your home's energy efficiency and comfort more affordable. At Great Northern Insulation, we understand that a well-insulated home is more than just energy efficient – it's about creating consistent, comfortable temperatures in every room while reducing your energy bills year-round. From attic to basement, our teams can help you navigate the rebate program and your Renovation Upgrade Report to carry out home efficiency improvements as a trusted insulation and energy efficiency contractor. Let's explore the new Home Renovation Savings Program.
We have partnered with Greenbrain, one of Ontario's approved energy auditing companies for the Home Renovation Savings Program, to offer VIP pricing that gives Great Northern Insulation customers a $100 discount on the pre- and post-work energy assessments required to qualify for rebates. This partnership allows Great Northern Insulation customers to receive some of the lowest pricing in the industry on their energy assessments with a registered energy advisor from one of the approved service organizations for the Home Renovation Savings Program.
Ask your Great Northern Insulation sales representative how to be referred to Greenbrain for your energy assessments following your free, no-obligation quote in order to gain your VIP pricing.
The Home Renovation Savings Program offers substantial rebates for home efficiency improvements, with different maximum amounts based on your home's primary heating source. Natural gas heated homes can receive up to $5,000 in rebates, while electrically heated homes qualify for up to $10,000. To participate, you'll need to complete at least two qualifying upgrades, which can include insulation improvements, air sealing, windows and doors, or heat pump water heaters.
By improving your home's insulation and air sealing, you'll enhance your comfort with consistent temperatures throughout your home while reducing your energy consumption. The program also offers additional rebates for heat pumps (up to $12,000), solar panels (up to $5,000), battery storage (up to $5,000), and smart thermostats ($75) that don't require energy assessments.
