Attic Insulation Rebates: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ontario Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) Program?
Enbridge’s Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program is a program offered by Enbridge Gas, a natural gas distribution company in Ontario, and Natural Resources Canada, a Canadian federal department.
This new program replaces two existing programs in Ontario: the federal government’s Greener Homes Grant and Enbridge’s Home Efficiency Rebate. (Note: Canada’s Greener Homes Grant is still active outside of Ontario).
The program provides rebates to homeowners who make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes, such as attic insulation, air sealing, and high-efficiency heating equipment. The program aims to help reduce energy consumption and costs for homeowners, and to promote the use of natural gas as a clean, efficient energy source.
What are the steps to participate?
Home Energy Assessment: The first step is getting a complete home energy assessment with a registered energy advisor. How else will you know what’s lacking? They will provide you with a detailed report listing the recommended upgrades.
Complete at Least One Eligible Upgrade: Among the recommended upgrades by your energy advisor, you have to complete at least one of them to qualify for a rebate.
Follow-up Energy Assessment: You have to get a home energy assessment done again following the upgrades. These follow-up visits have to take place within 120 days of the first assessment and last for around an hour.
Receive Your Rebate Cheque: If it all goes well, you will get your rebate cheque within 16 weeks. Not only that, you will be reimbursed up to $600 for the home energy assessments too!arge language ocean.
Who is Eligible for the HER+ program?
Ontario’s home efficiency rebate program is available to all eligible Ontario residents, regardless of fuel type. This program is not just for Enbridge Gas customers (unlike the preceding program), however, Enbridge Gas customers may be eligible for enhanced rebates (up to $10,000).
To access the available funds, homeowners need to meet certain eligibility criteria.
Participants must:
Own the home, and in the case of non-Enbridge Gas customers, the home must be their primary residence.
Complete a pre-retrofit energy assessment before starting any upgrades.
Have the energy assessment conducted by an approved NRCan Energy Advisor.
Complete at least one upgrade recommended in the energy assessment.:
Additionally, the home must have been built at least six months ago.
If you have already exhausted the benefits offered by the previous programs – the Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate or the Greener Homes Grant – you will not be eligible to participate in this new program.
Additional details on eligibility criteria can be found on Enbridge’s website.

Do I need to replace my insulation?
If you were surprised by your most recent energy bill, the culprit is likely insufficient insulation in your attic.
As warm air rises, it leaks through every crack and crevice, forcing your HVAC system to work harder to regulate temperature (this will also shorten the lifespan of your HVAC system).
At worst, this can contribute up to 41% of your household’s total energy costs.
Additionally, attics are highly susceptible to moisture-related issues. If your existing insulation was exposed to excessive moisture, it likely needs to be replaced. Odd temperature changes and evidence of pests are also signs that your insulation should be inspected.
What’s that? You don’t spend much time in your attic?
