*In Ontario, the Canada Greener Homes Grant and Enbridge Gas incentives have been combined into one application through the Enbridge Gas Home Energy Rebate Plus program (HER+). If you applied for the Canada Greener Homes Grant before January 4th, 2023 you can continue using the Canada Greener Homes Grant portal. New applicants will apply through Enbridge Gas Home Energy Rebate Plus program (HER+).
the steps to your home assessment
Fill out the HER+ questionnaire*
*This is a new step as of Jan 4, 2023
Fill out the questionnaire on the HER+ webpage to find out which rebates you are eligible for. Once you complete the questionnaire you will be provided with a list of service organizations in your area.
Book and receive initial audit
Contact us to book a time for your home assessment. Our Registered Energy Advisor will come to your house and determine the exact amount of energy your home is consuming, commonly called a ‘baseline’.
Receive report
The Energy Advisor will create an EnerGuide report that will outline your current baseline and make recommendations for improvements.
Complete renovations
The home owner will then complete the renovations and must be sure they keep all receipts for the project completed.
Final audit
Our Energy Advisor will return and verify the renovations have improved your home’s efficiency using the baseline determined in the previous visit.
Submit required documents*
*Details of this step have changed for applicants after Jan 4th, 2023. Your Energy Advisor will advise as you go through the audit process.
Using the online government portal you would have accessed as part of the survey above, you will submit the needed documents including the mentioned receipts.
Receive rebates*

Home Assessment Pricing
One element of the Canada Greener Homes Grant that many people do not realize is that you can receive a grant for the home assessments themselves.
If you complete the Canada Greener Homes Grant or HER+ process – meaning you complete at least one eligible retrofit that was recommended in your first audit, submit all required materials, and have a second audit to confirm the changes were made – you could be eligible for up to $600 to help cover the costs of the home assessments (combined).
