  • The Energy Affordability Program provides support to income-eligible electricity consumers by helping them to better manage their monthly electricity costs and increase their home comfort.

    There are two types of support available through the Energy Affordability Program: Comprehensive Support and Energy Saving Kits. People who live in Ontario (including those living in grid-connected First Nations communities) and are responsible for paying their monthly electricity bill as a homeowner or as a renter may qualify for this program.

    • Up to $12,000 for heat pumps

    • Up to $10,000 for solar panels and battery storage

    • $75 for smart thermostats

    • Up to $3,600 for insulation upgrades

    • $600 rebate for home energy assessment (if participating in the first stream)

    • Must be an Enbridge Gas customer or heat your home with electricity, propane, oil, or wood

    • Two rebate streams:

      • One requires a home energy assessment (for multiple upgrades like insulation, windows, and air sealing)

      • One does not require an assessment (for heat pumps, solar panels, and thermostats)

    • Participating contractors must be used for heat pumps and solar installations

    • Smart thermostat rebates are only available if you haven’t already received a similar rebate from Enbridge Gas, Save on Energy, or this program

  • The Home Renovation Savings Program is a 2025 partnership between Enbridge Gas and the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to help Ontario homeowners improve energy efficiency. Homeowners can either complete multiple energy upgrades (with a required home energy assessment) or install major upgrades like heat pumps and solar panels without an assessment. Rebates are processed through participating contractors, making it easier for homeowners to upgrade their homes while reducing energy costs.

    *Participants are responsible for ensuring the system is connected to the internet, covered by homeowners’ insurance, and ensuring no damage to the batteries during the program period.
