Common questions
What is the Home Renovation Savings Program?
Home Renovation Savings (HRS) is Ontario's provincial rebate program offering up to $12,000 to homeowners for energy-efficient upgrades — heat pumps, insulation, windows, doors, solar, and air sealing. It launched January 28, 2025; the current funding window is reported to run through November 30, 2026.
Is the HRS program ending in 2026?
The current funding period is reported to run through November 30, 2026, and pre-approvals must be issued before applications close. Program funding, deadlines and terms can change or close earlier, and no official completion window beyond the deadline is published. Confirm current deadlines directly with HRS before committing to work.
Can I do the work myself and still get the rebate?
No. HRS requires installation by a Participating Contractor — meaning a contractor registered with the program. DIY work and installations by non-registered contractors do not qualify, regardless of how good the work is.
