Ontario Home Renovation Savings Program Expansion

planned

The Ontario government expanded its Home Renovation Savings Program to include rebates for energy efficient appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, and laundry machines. The program initially provided rebates for energy efficiency renovations like new windows, doors, insulation, air sealing, smart thermostats, and heat pumps. Additionally, the province increased funding for an energy efficiency program targeting industrial, municipal, institutional, and health-care organizations, raising the available funding per project from $5 million to $15 million. This expansion is part of a $10.9 billion commitment over 12 years to improve energy efficiency in Ontario.
