Short answer: The Home Renovation Savings Program is Ontario's main home energy rebate. It pays $1,250 per ton, up to $7,500, for an air-source heat pump in an electric, oil, propane or wood home ($500 per ton, up to $2,000, on Enbridge gas), and up to $12,000 for ground-source, up to $5,000 each for solar and a battery, up to $7,700 for insulation with an energy assessment, and $125 for a smart thermostat. Some rebates need an assessment before and after the work.

Common questions
Does Home Renovation Savings cover a new gas furnace?
No. Gas furnaces get $0. Heat pumps, insulation, windows and thermostats are covered.
Can I take the solar rebate and keep net metering?
No. If you take the Home Renovation Savings solar rebate, you can't also sign a net-metering agreement with your utility.
