Ontario Reintroduces Enhanced Home Efficiency Rebate Program Focusing on Insulation Upgrades
Ontario Homeowners Encouraged to Boost Energy Efficiency with Re-Released Home Efficiency Rebate Program
Ontario, Canada — Ontario homeowners have a renewed opportunity to enhance their homes' energy efficiency and comfort levels with the re-release of the Home Efficiency Rebate (HER) Program by Enbridge Gas. This revamped program offers increased incentives for homeowners to make substantial energy-efficient upgrades, particularly focusing on insulation improvements.
The updated HER Program now requires participants to complete a minimum of two eligible upgrades, emphasizing a more comprehensive approach to energy conservation. The program places a significant focus on insulation enhancements, including:
- Attic Insulation: Improve your home's heat retention by upgrading attic insulation, reducing energy loss through the roof.
- Exterior Wall Insulation: Enhance the thermal efficiency of your home by insulating exterior walls, leading to consistent indoor temperatures.
- Foundation/Basement Insulation: Prevent heat loss from the foundation or basement, contributing to overall energy savings.
Why Participate in the HER Program?
- Maximize Energy Savings: Upgrading insulation can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, leading to long-term savings on energy bills.
- Increase Home Comfort: Improved insulation ensures a more comfortable living environment by eliminating drafts and maintaining consistent temperatures.
- Environmental Impact: Energy-efficient homes reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.
- Financial Incentives: Take advantage of generous rebates that help offset the cost of renovations.
Get Started with an Energy Audit
To participate in the HER Program, homeowners must undergo an energy audit conducted by a registered energy advisor. This audit assesses your home's current energy use and identifies the most impactful upgrades. Here's how to begin:
- Book a Pre-Renovation Energy Audit: An energy advisor will evaluate your home's energy performance and recommend eligible upgrades.
- Complete Eligible Upgrades: Based on the recommendations, choose and implement at least two upgrades.
- Conduct a Post-Renovation Energy Audit: The advisor will verify the completed work and measure energy improvements.
- Receive Your Rebate: Submit the required documentation to Enbridge Gas to receive your rebate.
Who is Eligible?
- Owners of detached, semi-detached, and certain types of row housing.
- Homes heated with natural gas supplied by Enbridge Gas.
- Upgrades must be completed within the stipulated timeframe after the initial audit.
