OVERVIEW
The Government of Ontario is committed to encouraging conservation, and will continue efforts to help residents achieve their home energy efficiency goals.  The Ontario Government will continue to fund new pre-retrofit audits and retrofits. This means we will continue to pay 50% of your home’s audit, up to $150. Audits will qualify you for up to $5,000 in provincial retrofit grants. 

ELIGIBILITY

  • Live in Ontario
  • Own a single family home (detached or semi-detached home or a low-rise, multi-unit residential building that is three stories or less and less than 600 square meters)
  • A pre-retrofit audit by a certified energy advisor whose company is licensed by Natural Resources Canada.
  • Making some or all of the recommended energy saving upgrades on the Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report
  • When replacing ANY of the equipment, the new equipment must have an efficiency rating higher than that of the original equipment. The second system must be of the same type and efficiency. New installations are not eligible in cases where improvements listed state “Replace”.
  • All upgrades or renovations must meet local codes and by-laws.
  • Renovations that are part of an addition made to a property following the pre-retrofit evaluation are not eligible for a retrofit grant and may reduce the grant amount for the improvement done on the existing portion of the house.
