Your HomePerformance Energy Advisor
applies for the $150 Ontario Home Energy Audit
rebate on your behalf.
- Follow-up energy audits in Ontario cost $195 plus HST.

your Ontario Home Energy Advisor will update your official
EnerGuide rating based on your improvements,
and apply on your behalf for
Ontario Home Energy Retrofit rebates of up to $5,000.

floor area (including basement) will

Payment — Ontario
Ontario homeowners must pay the
HomePerformance Energy Advisor at the completion
of each Ontario home energy audit visit. Payment may be made by cheque
or in cash. Advisors are not set up to handle credit or debit
cards at this time.
Home energy audit — Get ready
Before your Ontario Home Energy Advisor visits,
you’ll need to prepare your home ...
- Extinguish wood burning fires
- Clean out ashes from fireplace and close dampers
- Close all windows and doors
- Arrange access to all living areas in the home
- Provide access to attic, crawl space, heating and cooling
equipment, or any other hard-to-reach areas
Be assured that information regarding the existence of
separate living suites in Ontario homes is not recorded
as part of the ecoENERGY audit process.
- Photos –
Your Ontario energy advisor will need to take photos of the outside and
inside of your home, for documentation purposes.
- Release form –
You must sign a homeowner release form permitting your advisor to
take the photos, to release your energy audit data to the
Canadian government and Ontario government, and to allow the
Canadian and Ontario government to carry
out quality assurance measures if the need arises.
- Homeowner –
To simplify all document signing,
the Ontario homeowner whose name is to appear on the cheques
(both the Ontario Home Energy Audit + Ontario Home Energy Retrofit
rebates) should attend the first and second
energy audit visits. This can reduce the time you wait
for your Ontario government rebate cheques to
arrive in the mail.
- Questions about eligibility –
If you are not certain about the eligibility of your Ontario house,
or any specific renovations and improvements you are planning, you should request
clarification from the Ontario government. Homeowners are
responsible for clarifying that their Ontario house and planned renovations
and improvements are eligible for Ontario Home Energy Savings
rebates before undertaking any renovation work and related expenses.
