The Canada Greener Homes Grant and Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program are major government backed initiatives designed to help Ontario homeowners reduce energy costs, improve home comfort, and shrink their carbon footprint.
Status Update (As of 2024–2025):
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed to new applicants as of February 2024, but homeowners who applied before the deadline can still proceed with evaluations and claim their rebates.
What is Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program
Starting January 2023, Enbridge Gas and Canada’s Greener Homes Grant partnered to launch the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program, offering rebates for eligible retrofits like insulation, windows and doors, heat pumps, and renewable energy systems.
