Home Efficiency Rebate
The Home Efficiency Rebate can help lower your energy costs and make it more comfortable year-round. Get up to $5,000 in rebates for insulation, air sealing, new windows/doors, water heaters, boilers, furnaces and home energy assessments.
Before you start 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.
Enbridge Gas has suspended our residential programs up to and including May 6th, 2021. All in-home energy audits will no longer be permitted in the home until another update has been communicated. Full program updates and notices can be found on COVID-19 updates page.
After completing an energy assessment, Erica eliminated her home's chilly drafts and received rebates for completing air sealing, upgrading her attic insulation and replacing her furnace. Today, her house is warmer, and her natural gas bill is lower.

Why is Enbridge Gas offering this program?
We offer a range of energy conservation programs that help Ontarians save energy and money. By helping you reduce energy use, we’re not only doing our part in the fight against climate change, but helping to keep natural gas affordable for all with less wear-and-tear on our infrastructure.
Why do I need to complete two upgrades?
Your home works as a system. To improve its energy efficiency, it’s important to understand that all parts work together and affect each other’s performance. For example, without proper air sealing, even new insulation will let air escape.
Why do you work with a service organization to deliver this program?
We work with trusted service organizations across Ontario to deliver this program. Their representatives are professionally trained to work with you to complete the home energy assessments and are available every step of the way to answer any questions.
I need to replace my furnace right away—how soon can I book an assessment?
We understand that furnace replacements require immediate attention. Most of our service organizations offer next-day appointments to prioritize urgent energy assessments. As many service organizations work closely with contractors, we also recommend asking your HVAC contractor to directly refer you to a few registered energy advisors.
Do I need to hire a contractor to complete the work?
Some upgrades, such as air sealing, can be done quickly and easily with a little research and guidance. However, bigger upgrades, such as replacing a furnace, water heater or boiler must be done by a licensed HVAC contractor. Be sure to ask for credentials and check reviews when choosing a contractor.
Are the registered energy advisors from Enbridge Gas?
While Enbridge Gas oversees the program and provides the rebates, we work with service organizations across Ontario to deliver this program in each region. These organizations conduct the home energy assessments and are there to lead you through every step of the program.
I’ve already started my renovation—can I still get rebates?
No, this program is designed to provide custom advice and recommendations on your upgrades, so you must complete an initial home energy assessment before starting any renovation work. Any upgrades that have been completed prior to the home energy assessment are not eligible to apply for the Home Efficiency Rebate.
Do I have to pay for the home energy assessment?
While customers are responsible for covering the upfront cost of the initial and final home energy assessments, $550 will be reimbursed with your final rebate cheque.
