Common questions
How much is the windows and doors rebate in Timmins?
$100 per rough opening replaced with an eligible ENERGY STAR window or door. It's a per-opening rebate, so a project replacing several windows adds up quickly, and it's part of the assessment-required tier of the province's Home Renovation Savings Program.
Do I need a home energy assessment for the windows rebate?
Yes. Like the exterior wall, foundation, and water heater rebates on the main Timmins page, windows and doors sit in the assessment-required tier, which needs a home energy assessment (~$600, refunded as a rebate) and at least two qualifying upgrades.
Why do windows matter more in a city like Timmins?
Timmins' older mining-era housing stock and much colder winters than southern Ontario put more strain on older, less efficient windows and doors than in a typical southern city. The rebate rate is identical everywhere in Ontario, but the case for doing the work is stronger here.
Your utility: Hydro One
Timmins doesn't have its own municipal electric utility the way many southern Ontario cities do — power here is distributed directly by Hydro One, the provincial utility that serves most of rural and northern Ontario. That's a structural difference from cities like Toronto or Ottawa with their own city-owned distributor, but it has no effect on your windows and doors rebate, which the province pays out the same way everywhere. Hydro One is who to contact for any service capacity question tied to your installer's work.
What Timmins's winters mean for this upgrade's payback
Timmins is the coldest city in this comparison by a wide margin: true Northern Ontario climate, well north of the Great Lakes' moderating reach. That's with a 10-year average January daily low (2015-2024) of -18.6°C and a coldest recorded day of -39.3°C. At those temperatures, a poorly sealed rough opening isn't a comfort issue, it's a heating-cost issue every single winter, which is exactly the case the assessment-required tier of the program is built to catch before a homeowner spends money on the wrong upgrade first.
