FAQ about Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HERX)

If you applied for HER or the CGHG program before Jan 1, 2023 you may be eligible for additional rebates through the new Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program which is co-delivered through the Canada Greener Homes Grant & Enbridge Gas. Since the HER program has ended, if you qualify for one of the new measures, and had your first audit after April 2020, you will be automatically transferred to the new program. Please speak with your Registered Energy Advisor if you have any concerns.

If you completed your post-retrofit energy assessment before Jan 1, 2023, you will receive the rebates as discussed by your Registered Energy Advisor at your post-retrofit assessment.

The Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program, including the co-delivery of the Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG), is planned to run until 2027.

participate if I am not an Enbridge Gas customer? The Canada Greener Homes Grant program, delivered through Home Efficiency Rebate Plus, is open to all Ontario homeowners who are primary residents of the home, regardless of their energy provider. This includes homeowners using natural gas, oil, propane, electricity, or wood as their primary heating fuel, regardless of whether they are Enbridge Gas customers or not. Enbridge Gas customers are eligible for additional rebates provided exclusively by Enbridge Gas.

While homeowners are responsible for covering the upfront cost of the pre-retrofit and post-retrofit energy assessments, these costs will be offset by a single rebate of up to $600 once you complete the program. You must complete at least one recommended and eligible retrofit to receive the rebate for the assessment costs.

To find out what you qualify for, please complete our pre-screening questionnaire at FORM.
