The Ontario Home Energy Savings Program is an energy conservation program from the Government of Ontario. A Home Energy Audit shows you how your home uses energy and where it is being lost. It identifies improvements you can make to your home’s insulation, heating, cooling, hot water heating and other energy uses that could result in hundreds of dollars in energy savings each year.

The Government will pay up to $150 of your Home Energy Audit.

The audit will explain your home’s energy use from the basement to the attic. A typical audit involves the following steps:

• A walk-through assessment of your home’s insulation, heating and cooling systems and other energy uses
• A “blower door” depressurization test to identify leaks and drafts
• A personalized Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report

Many of the energy-saving upgrades identified by your Home Energy Audit will qualify you for rebates under NRCAN’s Home Energy Retrofit Program. These rebates from the Government of Canada can reimburse you up to $5,000 when you complete improvements identified by your audit.
