The Home Renovation Savings™ Program (HRSP)?

What is The Home Renovation
Savings™ Program (HRSP)?

The Home Renovation Savings™ program is an Ontario-based energy efficiency initiative to help homeowners reduce their energy bills and improve home comfort through rebates on various upgrades. 

Ontario Provincial Government Support

Launched on January 28, 2025, the Home Renovation Savings™ program is a provincial initiative designed to enhance residential comfort and reduce utility costs through high-efficiency rebates. Formally unveiled by the Minister of Energy and Electrification, this government-backed program empowers Ontario residents to modernise their homes through substantial financial incentives.

While the initiative is currently scheduled to accept applications until November 30, 2026, program administrators (Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy) reserve the right to modify or conclude rebates based on funding availability. 

Homeowners are encouraged to apply promptly to secure their incentives and ensure long-term energy savings. If you are interested in participating in the program, it is generally recommended to apply as soon as possible.

Save on Energy (IESO) official page

The IESO (Independent Electricity System Operator) is a crown corporation of the Ontario government. The program is part of the province's "historic $10.9 billion investment."

The program was specifically designed under the Affordable Energy Act(which came into force in December 2024) to ensure that rebates are accessible to all Ontario homeowners, including those who heat their homes with oil and propane.

What the program offers

The program is a partnership between Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy (IESO), supported by the Ontario Government. It offers significant rebates for energy-saving retrofits, with two main paths for participation:

Qualification requirements

The Home Renovation Savings™ program is available to all Ontario residents whose primary or secondary properties are connected to the provincial electricity grid or the Enbridge Gas network.

This inclusive eligibility extends to homes heated by natural gas, electricity, oil, propane, or wood.

To qualify for window and door rebates of $100 per opening, participants must enter the 'Bundled Stream,' which requires a pre- and post-retrofit home energy assessment conducted by a registered advisor.

Under this stream, homeowners must complete at least two qualifying upgrades to unlock their rebates, at which point they will also receive a $600 incentive to offset the total cost of the energy audits.
