Program Update:
Home Efficiency Rebate Plus
Enbridge Gas is currently reaching out to homeowners who do not have a post-retrofit assessment booked or completed via email and direct mail communication. Please ensure that you carefully review your spam or junk email folders for any missed communications about your application. Program participants who fail to respond to communications from Enbridge Gas may see their file closed.
The Home Efficiency Rebate Plus program, in partnership with Natural Resources is no longer accepting new applicants. Homeowners who are already participating are encouraged to proceed in a timely manner with their retrofits and will continue to be eligible for funding and support through the Canada Greener Homes portal.
If you have not scheduled your post-retrofit assessment or E-audit, you should schedule one as soon as possible as funding is limited and will be provided on a first come, first served basis.
If you have completed or scheduled your post-retrofit energy assessment or E-audit, funding is allocated for you, however you still need to ensure you complete all program requirements and have your post-retrofit assessment and associated documentation submitted by your Service Organization for verification prior to issuance of the rebate payment.

Enbridge Gas collects insight on participant interest and stages of program in
various ways. By clicking the link and entering in your pre-retrofit energy
assessment file number you are helping us verify and reconcile the status of
your file. This will allow as many homeowners as
possible to participate in the program. Grants are awarded on a
first-come, first-served basis until Natural Resources Canada funding is fully
allocated.

pre-audit file number is a ten-digit number that can be found on top of your
Renovation Upgrade Report, your first Homeowner Information Sheet, or on your

number please reach out to your Registered Energy Advisor.

Currently, we are only accepting pre-retrofit energy assessments completed on or before Feb. 5, 2024. If you have a pre-retrofit energy assessment scheduled after Feb. 5, 2024, you do not qualify for Home Efficiency Rebate Plus rebates, as it is past the cut-off date.

If you encounter any issues or concerns regarding any of the authorized retrofits, upgrades or improvements implemented as part of the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program, or any issues or concerns regarding the contractor you have hired to implement any such authorized retrofits, upgrades or improvements, you must address such issues or concerns directly with the contractor. Enbridge Gas is not affiliated with any such contractor, and is in no way responsible for referring, selecting, or directly contracting with any such contractors.
All applicants who did their pre-retrofit energy assessment before July 1, 2023 were sent a letter and/or email survey asking for an update on the status of their energy efficient retrofits and post-retrofit energy assessment. Those who responded saying they are no longer interested or did not respond have been opted-out and will no longer be eligible for rebates through the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus program.
