What the Home Energy Audit Program?
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 leaked. It identifies improvements you can make to your home’s heating, cooling, hot water heating and other energy uses that could result in hundreds of dollars in energy savings each year. The Government of Ontario will pay 50% of your Home Energy Audit, up to $150.The audit will explain your home's energy use — attic to basement. A typical audit involves the following steps:
- A walk-through assessment of your home’s insulation, heating and cooling systems and other energy usage
- A “blower door” de-pressurization 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 the Home Energy Retrofit Program. These rebates from the Governments of Ontario and Canada can reimburse you up to $10,000* when you complete improvements identified by your audit.

The “WHY” behind the program:
If your home is older than 10 years, it’s very likely leaking energy. A lot of energy and a lot of money. Right now your home may be leaking energy from any one or a combination of the following:
- Energy leaks around doors
- Poorly-fitted windows and sills
- Energy-guzzling old furnaces
- Poor attic insulation
- Energy-wasting appliances
- Energy-wasting old water heaters
An Ontario Home Energy Audit will find these energy leaks and give you a plan that can reduce your energy bills. On average, a homeowner can reduce their annual energy bill by up to 30% after a retrofit. You will receive a Home Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report that will outline how to make your home more energy efficient.
