Canada Greener Homes Grant
As of February 2024, the Greener Homes Grant program is fully enrolled and closed to new applicants. Read our statement in response to the closure of this highly successful program. Homeowners already enrolled in this program were able to complete their upgrades and earn incentives until the end of 2025. Contact your Energy Advisor or their office for details.
Canada Greener Homes Loan
The CMHC Greener Homes Loan program was de-funded with the 2025 federal budget. This program offered interest free loans that enabled retrofits for over 120,000 households with $2.9 billion in funding. This is a notable gap in Budget 2025 and – together with the closing of the Greener Homes Grant – marks several missed opportunities to build Canada strong and invest in made-in-Canada solutions that improve our workforce and quality of life.

Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus HER+
