How it works
HER+ was a joint Enbridge Gas and Canada Greener Homes Grant offer that paid rebates after pre- and post-retrofit energy assessments. It covered insulation, air sealing, windows and doors, heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, smart thermostats and solar, and Enbridge says it helped more than 100,000 Ontario households.
HER+ closed to new applicants on February 5, 2024. Participants had to finish their post-retrofit assessment by December 1, 2025 and have all paperwork submitted by December 31, 2025. Enbridge's separate Home Efficiency Rebate (HER) stopped taking new participants on January 27, 2025, when the Home Renovation Savings Program replaced it.
