Home Efficiency Rebate

From July 2024, Enbridge Gas has provided rebates towards eligible retrofits such as home insulation, windows and doors, and heat pumps. The new, coordinated Home Efficiency Rebate program will help more Ontarians save energy at home.

This is great news for residents across the province which are currently an Enbridge Gas customers who use natural gas to heat their homes or the houses which are waiting to become one and will benefit from enhanced rebates up to $5,000.

The New Home Efficiency Rebate (HER) Program

At least 2 Renovations must be completed.

The home must be heated with Enbridge Gas during either the First or Final Audit

Both main and secondary residences are eligible, but the application must be made by the homeowner.

The final audit must be carried out within 120 days of the initial audit.

Eligible homes include only detached, semi-detached, row, and mobile homes on a permanent foundation.

The maximum total rebate is $5,000, which includes a $600 reimbursement for the Audit Fee. This rebate applies for the lifetime of the program per address.
