    The Ontario Home Energy Savings Program

    2009 Ontario Home Energy Retrofit FAQs

    The Ontario Home Energy Savings Program is an energy conservation program from the Government of Ontario. A Home Energy Audit shows you how your home uses energy and where it is being leaked. It identifies improvements you can make to your home’s heating, cooling, hot water heating and other energy uses that could result in hundreds of dollars in energy savings each year.

    The Government of Ontario will pay 50% of your Home Energy Audit, up to $150.

    The audit will explain your home's energy use — attic to basement. A typical audit involves the following steps:

    • A walk-through assessment of your home’s insulation, heating and cooling systems and other energy uses
    • A “blower door” depressurization test to identify leaks and drafts
    • A personalized Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report

    Many of the energy-saving upgrades identified by your Home Energy Audit will qualify you for rebates under the Home Energy Retrofit Program. These rebates from the Governments of Ontario and Canada can reimburse you up to $10,000* when you complete improvements identified by your audit.

    What Are the Steps to Get Started

    Step1: Finding a home energy advisor is easy. Call Green Home Energy. The Government of Ontario will pay half of your pre-retrofit audit, up to $150.


    Step2: During your Home Energy Audit, the  Green Home Energy energy advisor will find your home’s energy leaks and show what you can do to plug them. Your energy advisor will provide you with your personalized Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report and a plan that can reduce your energy bills. Your report includes your home’s EnerGuide rating. This shows how energy efficient your home is and how efficient it could be with energy-saving improvements.




    Step3: Need a new furnace or water heater? Caulking around your windows and doors? Make some or all the upgrades suggested in your Energy Efficiency Report to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Your report will show you the most important changes to maximize your energy savings.




    Step4: After your first audit, you have 18 months to complete some or all of the improvements suggested by your energy advisor to qualify for government rebates. After completing the work, book your post-retrofit audit. Your energy advisor will perform your audit and provide you with your home’s new EnerGuide rating that shows how much you have improved your home’s energy efficiency. A good EnerGuide rating can also increase the value of your home.




    Step5: After your post-retrofit audit, the Governments of Ontario and Canada will each rebate up to $5,000 for your energy efficient upgrades. The more energy-saving upgrades you make, the more money you’ll get back, up to a total of $10,000.
