This is the province-wide backbone: HRSP runs the same programs whatever Ontario city you're in — five categories need no home energy assessment at all, just an eligibility form and a participating contractor. A deeper assessment-required tier pays more for insulation, windows, and air sealing if you're doing a bigger retrofit. Toronto homeowners also have the City's own HELP loan (up to $125,000) that stacks on top of everything here. Each city page below has the full breakdown for your area.
