Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Windsor home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Windsor 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.
Windsor runs on ENWIN Utilities 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 ENWIN Utilities — 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.
Windsor's Residential Deep Energy Efficiency Retrofit (R-DEER) Program aims to offer up to $40,000 in loans for deep retrofits (heat pump conversion, insulation, and more), funded in part by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Green Municipal Fund. As of official sources checked for this page, the program is not open for applications — the City is still engaging homeowners and contractors to design the program. Check the Let's Talk Windsor portal → for current status before counting on this financing.
ENWIN Utilities (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Mostly natural gas
Most Windsor 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 — Windsor's Residential Deep Energy Efficiency Retrofit (R-DEER) Program aims to offer up to $40,000 in loans, but as of our research it wasn't open for applications; the City was still designing the program. Check the Let's Talk Windsor portal for current status.
Most Windsor homes are on ENWIN Utilities for electricity and Enbridge Gas for natural gas.
