Ontario is rolling out new energy efficiency programs, including the Home Renovation Savings Program that offers rebates for home upgrades like windows, doors, insulation, and solar panels.
TORONTO — Ontario is introducing new energy efficiency programs, including the Home Renovation Savings Program. Stephen Lecce, minister of energy and electrification, said Tuesday the program will cover up to 30 per cent of the cost of new windows, doors, insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, rooftop solar panels, and battery storage. The program will launch on Jan. 28, but homeowners can sign up for the program in advance.
Some of the incentives include: Later this year, the rebate program will be expanded to include rebates for energy-efficient appliances including refrigerators and freezers. The Affordable Energy Act, which came into force last month, provides for the expansion of this program and others to homeowners who heat their houses with propane and oil, rather than being restricted to those individuals who have electric heating. The province is also expanding the Peak Perks program by targeting it to small businesses such as convenience stores and restaurants. It provides modest financial incentives for enrolling and for connecting smart thermostats to a central air conditioning system or heat pump unit. Ontario continues to support various Save on Energy programs, including a retrofit program for business, and other programs geared to low-income households, businesses, municipalities, institutions, the agricultural sector, industry and First Nations communities
