Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) Program
The Canada Greener Homes Grant has been renamed as Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) and is now being jointly administered by Natural Resources Canada and Enbridge Gas in Ontario. The updated program offers higher rebates for various home efficiency improvements, such as up to $10,000 for insulation upgrades for Enbridge customers and up to $5,000 for non-Enbridge customers. Note that if you applied for the Canada Greener Homes Grant before January 4, 2023, you should still use the CGHG portal to manage your application.

How do I obtain government rebates after buying HVAC equipments?
After inspecting your home, our HVAC personnel from SolidCare will inform you if your home qualifies for rebates. If not, we will inform you of what needs to be done in order to qualify for rebates. After confirming your eligibility, the government will send an energy appraiser to perform the official qualifications and help you with the application. The appraisal will cost $600 but it will be compensated in the total amount of rebates you would receive from the government.
What if I don’t receive the government rebate within 5 months of buying HVAC equipments?
Upon confirming your eligibility to receive it, our SolidCare representative will write you a contract, stating that if you do not receive the promised amount of rebate within 5 months, we will pay the difference to you.
