Ontario Home Energy Savings Program
Chances are your home’s leaking energy. A lot of energy and a
lot of money.
The Ontario Home Energy Savings Program will help pay for a Home Energy Audit that will find your home’s energy leaks and identify renovations you can make to lower your energy bills. Replace that energy-guzzling old furnace, improve your insulation, change drafty windows and doors and complete other retrofits suggested in your audit report and you could qualify for up to $10,000 in Ontario and federal rebates.
