What happened to the Canada Greener Homes Grant
Grant opens: up to $5,000 for retrofits plus up to $600 for EnerGuide evaluations
Closed to new participants
Last day for enrolled participants to finish work and request payment
The Canada Greener Homes Grant ran from May 2021 to February 2024 and reimbursed homeowners for upgrades recommended by a registered energy advisor, such as heat pumps, insulation, windows and doors, air sealing and solar panels. It paid up to $5,000 for retrofits plus up to $600 toward the before-and-after EnerGuide evaluations.
The program closed to new participants in early 2024. People already enrolled had until December 31, 2025 to finish their work and request payment, and requests after that date are not processed.
More than 400,000 households completed retrofits through the program, with heat pumps the most popular upgrade. Anyone searching for it today should look at the replacement programs listed below.

If you already applied
A closed program usually still honours files it accepted before the cut-off, on its own deadlines. Follow up with Natural Resources Canada directly: we don't take applications and can't check a file for you.
Planning new work? Some replacements need pre-approval or an energy assessment before anything is installed. Read the guide to stacking heat pump rebates for the order to do things in, and how to spot a rebate scam before you sign with anyone who mentions a "government program".
