About us

An independent guide to home renovation rebates

Home Renovation Savings Programs exists because homeowners kept telling us the same thing: the programs might be worthwhile, but the paperwork, terminology, and shifting deadlines make it hard to know where to begin.

We write explainers about insulation and air sealing, heat pumps, solar and battery storage, and windows and doors — the upgrade categories most commonly covered by federal, provincial, and utility-backed efficiency programs in Canada, with particular attention to Ontario.

Our articles describe how these programs are generally structured, what documentation homeowners are typically asked for, and which questions are worth asking a contractor before signing anything. We do not publish guaranteed rebate amounts, because those figures change and only the program administrator can confirm them for your situation.

We are not a contractor, an energy advisor, or an application service. We cannot review your file, check your eligibility, or submit anything on your behalf.

Education first

We explain how programs work in plain language, without sales pressure or lead-generation forms disguised as eligibility checks.

Point to official sources

Every program ultimately lives on an official page. Our job is to help you understand it, then send you there to apply.

No affiliation, no endorsements

We do not represent contractors, utilities, or any rebate administrator, and we never claim to process applications.
