Home Renovation Savings Rebates in Ontario: Solar, Heat Pump, Smart Thermostat

July 21, 2025

The Home Renovation Savings™ program and make meaningful improvements today that pay off long term. Level up to a smart thermostat, invest in solar energy or install a heat pump. Smart upgrades like these can make your home more energy efficient, comfortable and ready for whatever the season brings. And best of all, a home energy assessment is not required for these upgrades.

For heat pumps, work with a program-qualified contractor to have your upgrades installed and they’ll take care of the rebate paperwork. For solar panels, choose a contractor of your choice to install the system and process your application to receive a rebate. For smart thermostats, you can easily install it on your own.

Solar & Storage

Installing solar panels with battery storage is a great long-term investment for your home. Up to $10,000 in rebates are available. With these upgrades, you can generate your own energy, use it whenever you need it and store the excess for a rainy day—like during power outages or periods of high electricity demand.

Heat Pump

Heat Pumps heat, cool and dehumidify your home while saving energy* and improving comfort year round. A home energy assessment is not required.

$100 off Smart Thermostat

It’s the perfect time for a smart thermostat upgrade. Now through Oct.31, you can get a $100 rebate on popular smart thermostat models. Up from the usual $75, and you can use it before or after your purchase.‡

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
