The Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) launched January 28, 2025, replacing Ontario's previous HER+ program. It is delivered by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy (IESO) with support from the Government of Ontario. The program is not income-tested — your heating type and upgrade path determine your rebate amounts.
Two paths — where most rejections start
HRSP offers a single upgrade path (no EnerGuide audit) and a bundled path (pre- and post-retrofit assessment, minimum two upgrades). Choosing the wrong path — or starting work in the wrong order — is the most common reason rebates get denied.
- Single upgrade: heat pump, solar, smart thermostat, or standalone attic insulation — no pre-retrofit audit
- Bundled upgrade: insulation, windows, air sealing, heat pump water heater — requires EnerGuide audit before any work starts
