Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Greater Sudbury home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Greater Sudbury homeowner can claim up to $12,000 for a heat pump, $10,000 for solar + battery combined, up to $1,250 for attic insulation, $100 for a smart thermostat, and up to $200 per appliance — on top of a separate assessment-required insulation/windows tier.
Greater Sudbury runs on Greater Sudbury Hydro electricity and Enbridge Gas. The province's Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) is identical here to the rest of Ontario — the same categories and tiers as Toronto and Ottawa.
Enbridge Gas customers switching from gas: up to $2,000 (air-source) or $3,000 (ground-source). Switching from electric, oil, propane, or wood: up to $7,500 (air-source) or up to $12,000 (ground-source).
$1,000/kW, capped at 50% of total cost. Choose this rebate or net metering with Greater Sudbury Hydro — not both.
$300/kWh, capped at 50% of cost. Stacks with the solar rebate for up to $10,000 combined.
Amount scales with your starting R-value: up to $1,250 from ≤R-12, $1,000 from R-12–25, $800 from R-25–35.
Instant rebate before you buy, or mail-in after. Eligible brands: ecobee, Google Nest, Honeywell Home, Copeland Sensi, Mysa, and Sinopé.
Heat pump dryer $200, induction cooktop/range $150, washer $75, fridge $50, freezer $50, dishwasher $25.
A typical household stacking a heat pump with solar or battery nets $4,000–$17,000 in direct rebates — identical to Toronto and Ottawa, since this is a provincial program.
We could not confirm a hard expiry date for these programs on the official site as of this writing — check homerenovationsavings.ca directly before relying on any deadline you see elsewhere (several third-party HVAC sites repeat a Nov 30, 2026 date that we could not verify on the official program page).
Same structure as the rest of Ontario: a home energy assessment (about $600, refunded as a rebate), at least two qualifying upgrades, and an extra $500 bonus for completing three or more.
To at least R-20 across 100% of exterior wall area.
Plus Basement Slab (up to $500) and Foundation Header (up to $300) as separate, smaller sub-categories.
Crawlspace wall up to $1,200, plus crawlspace ceiling up to $1,200 — two separate measures.
Per rough opening replaced with an eligible ENERGY STAR window or door.
Replaces a gas, electric, or oil tank.
Draftproofing your home's envelope, verified by the before/after assessment.
Attic and cathedral-ceiling insulation are available on the no-assessment path above (up to $1,250 / $750), but the same work pays more if bundled into this assessment-required tier instead: up to $1,500 for attic and $780 for cathedral ceiling/flat roof.
Greater Sudbury doesn't have a live municipal loan or rebate program yet. The City received a $170,000 grant to fund a study comparing home-retrofit financing models, but as of official sources checked for this page, nothing has launched. The provincial HRSP stack below is what's actually available to Greater Sudbury homeowners today.
Greater Sudbury Hydro (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Mostly natural gas
Most Greater Sudbury homes heat with gas furnaces, putting a heat pump switch in the lower HRSP tier.
6–10 weeks quote to installation for solar, faster for a heat pump swap. City building permit + ESA electrical inspection where required.
It depends on the heat pump type and your current fuel. Enbridge Gas customers switching from gas get up to $2,000 for an air-source unit or $3,000 for ground-source. Households switching from electricity, oil, propane, or wood get up to $7,500 for air-source or up to $12,000 for ground-source. This is the same provincial HRSP structure as the rest of Ontario.
Not yet. Greater Sudbury received funding for a feasibility study comparing retrofit-financing models, but nothing has launched as of this writing — the provincial HRSP stack is what's available to Greater Sudbury homeowners today.
Most Greater Sudbury homes are on Greater Sudbury Hydro for electricity and Enbridge Gas for natural gas.
