Ontario is introducing two new energy efficiency programs, including one offering rebates for homeowners undertaking energy-saving renovations. The Home Renovation Savings Program will provide up to 30% rebates for upgrades like windows, doors, insulation, and solar panels. The province is also expanding the residential Peak Perks program to small businesses, offering credits for smart thermostats and heat pump units.

Energy Minister Stephen Lecce says the Home Renovation Savings Program will rebate homeowners up to 30 per cent of the cost of energy efficiency renovations and improvements, such as new windows, doors, insulation, air sealing, smart thermostats, heat pumps, and rooftop solar panels and battery storage systems.
The home renovation program is similar to one the Progressive Conservative government cancelled in 2018, though Lecce says it is different because more homeowners will qualify and the new program has a longer commitment.
