Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to complete two upgrades?
Your home works as a system. To improve its energy efficiency, it’s important to understand that all parts work together and affect each other’s performance. For example, without proper air sealing, even new insulation will let air escape. We recommend following your registered energy advisor’s advice on which upgrades will benefit the efficiency and comfort of your home. Note: You must install at least three windows to count as a qualifying upgrade.
Do I have to pay for the home energy assessment?
While homeowners are responsible for covering the upfront cost of the initial and follow-up energy assessments, these costs will be offset by a single rebate of up to $600, once you complete the program.
When will HER rebates be awarded?
Rebate cheques will be awarded starting January 2025 after successful completion of the HER program.
How long do I have to complete my follow-up home energy assessment?
The follow-up assessment is to be completed within 120 days of the initial assessment or by Dec. 31, 2025, whichever comes first. In special circumstances, extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Your service organization can request an extension on your behalf. Initial assessments completed on or after Feb. 6, 2024 but before July 15, 2024 must complete the follow-up assessment by no later than 120 days following July 15, 2024.
