Ontario homeowners can get up to $7,700 back for insulation upgrades in 2026 through the Home Renovation Savings Program. There's also a popular standalone attic insulation rebate of up to $1,250 that requires no energy assessment — making it one of the easiest rebates to access in the province.

The Standalone Attic Rebate — Easiest Option

The standalone attic insulation stream is the most popular rebate in the program. No pre-retrofit energy assessment required. You simply hire a registered contractor, install qualifying attic insulation, and submit your application. Most homeowners receive their payment in 6–10 weeks.

This stream was introduced in August 2025 and has proven extremely popular. It's available to detached, semi-detached, and condo owners across Ontario — including oil, propane, wood, and electrically heated homes, not just Enbridge Gas customers.

Bundled Insulation — Up to $7,700

If you're planning a more comprehensive retrofit — combining attic, wall, and basement insulation with air sealing — you can access up to $7,700 through the multi-measure assessment path. This requires:

  1. A pre-retrofit energy assessment before any work begins
  2. At least two qualifying upgrades completed
  3. A post-retrofit assessment after work is done
Critical rule: Do NOT start any work before completing the pre-retrofit energy assessment. Starting early is the number one reason bundled rebate applications are rejected.

Stacking With Other Programs

Insulation rebates stack well with heat pump and window rebates through the same HRS bundled path. A homeowner doing attic insulation + heat pump + windows could access $7,700 (insulation) + heat pump rebate + $100/window in a single application.

  2. Select the standalone attic stream (no assessment) or bundled path
  3. If bundled, book your pre-retrofit assessment first
  4. Find a registered insulation contractor through the site's contractor search
  5. Complete the work and submit your application with receipts
