If you're a homeowner in Ontario looking to make energy-efficient renovations, the new Home Renovation Savings Program is worth serious attention. Launched in early 2025, it offers rebates of up to 30% on eligible upgrades like insulation, smart thermostats, heat pumps, windows, and even rooftop solar + battery storage.
Program Details
Start With a Home Energy Assessment
Get back up to $600 for a professional home energy assessment. This evaluation helps you understand exactly where your home is losing energy and which upgrades will give you the best return on investment.
Bundle Rebates for Maximum Savings
For homeowners tackling multiple upgrades (e.g., insulation + windows), there are bundle rebates that maximize your savings. Combining improvements not only increases your rebate amount but also delivers compounding energy efficiency benefits.
Single Upgrade Option
If you skip the energy audit, you can still claim rebates for single upgrades, like heat pumps or solar. This gives you flexibility to start with what matters most to your home and budget.
Rebate Amounts by Upgrade Type
Heat Pump Rebates
- Cold-climate air source heat pumps: Up to $7,500
- Ground source (geothermal) systems: Up to $12,000
Solar & Energy Storage
- Rooftop solar panels + battery storage systems: Up to $10,000
Other Eligible Upgrades
- Home insulation improvements
- Energy-efficient windows and doors
- Smart thermostats
- High-efficiency water heaters
Why This Program Matters
This is part of Ontario's major energy-efficiency push to help homeowners reduce bills and lower their carbon footprint. With energy costs rising and climate concerns growing, these rebates make it financially viable to upgrade to modern, efficient systems.
If you're thinking about renovating, now could be the perfect time to upgrade to more efficient systems—and get paid back for doing it right.
