How much you get
Why this one needs an assessment
Windows and doors are usually replaced alongside insulation or air sealing as part of a bigger envelope upgrade, so the program bundles them into the assessment-required path. You need at least 2 qualifying upgrades from that group (insulation, windows/doors, heat pump water heater, air sealing) to participate — and completing 3+ earns an extra $500 bonus on top.
How to claim it
- Book an initial home energy assessment with a registered energy advisor ($600, refunded later)
- Get your custom report, which confirms which openings qualify
- Complete the window/door replacement plus at least one other qualifying upgrade
- Book a follow-up assessment to confirm the work
- Rebate arrives by mail within 60 days

Common questions
Are window and door rebates available in Toronto?
Yes, at $100 per rough opening for an eligible ENERGY STAR-rated window or door. Toronto's mix of century-old semis and postwar bungalows means the rebate does very different work depending on the neighbourhood, since window age varies more block to block here than in most Ontario cities.
Do all new windows qualify for the rebate in Toronto?
No. The rating has to match the ENERGY STAR climate zone for southern Ontario specifically, and a lot of what's sold as a standard double-pane replacement at a big-box store doesn't clear that bar, so check the spec sheet rather than the sales pitch.
Your utility: Toronto Hydro
Toronto Hydro is the city-owned utility delivering power to roughly 800,000 residential and business accounts across the old City of Toronto and the amalgamated boroughs. The windows and doors rebate itself has nothing to do with Toronto Hydro, since it's a fixed provincial payment, but Toronto Hydro is the utility your installer coordinates with if a panel upgrade or new electrical connection is part of your renovation, and it's worth a quick check of Toronto Hydro's own conservation programs in case one stacks with the provincial rebate.
What Toronto's winters mean for this upgrade's payback
Toronto's lakeside position keeps its winters milder than most of the rest of the province: the 10-year average January daily low (2015-2024) is -7.1°C, with a coldest recorded day of -25.1°C. But the city's mix of century-old semis in older neighbourhoods and postwar bungalows further out means window age varies more block to block here than almost anywhere else in Ontario, so the rebate's usefulness depends heavily on which part of the city a home sits in.
