Ontario · audit-first home energy upgrades
Find an NRCan-registered energy auditor, see real prices, and get the rebates that are actually live — starting with Ontario's $600 assessment rebate and up to $12,000 for heat pumps.
The planner reads your home's era, heating, and symptoms — and tells you what's likely behind the walls and what it's costing you.
Estimated savings per upgrade, typical costs, and the rebates that apply — verified against official program pages, not last year's blog posts.
Compare licensed service organizations serving your area — credentials shown, prices where published, no shared lead lists.
Where houses actually leak
Through an infrared camera, every house glows where it's failing — attic bypasses, empty wall cavities, rim joists, bare foundation walls. The planner predicts your home's pattern from its era; the audit's blower door and thermal scan measure it exactly.

Rebate programs open and close with little warning — the federal Grant and Loan are both gone, and half the internet hasn't noticed. We verify every program against its official page and stamp the date.

Reports 400,000+ home energy assessments since 2003 (company claim)
Or go deeper: city-by-city home energy guides — your region's housing stock, read like an auditor.
Most EnerGuide evaluations run $400–$700 for the initial visit and $200–$400 for the follow-up, and NRCan cites a $600–$1,000 typical total. Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings Program rebates $600 of that when you complete the assessment path — so a typical audit ends up costing a few hundred dollars net, or less.
For the biggest ones, yes. The Home Renovation Savings assessment path (insulation up to $7,700, windows at $100 per opening) requires a pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide assessment by an NRCan-registered energy advisor. Toronto’s HELP loans require it for most projects too. Heat pump and solar rebates have a no-assessment stream.
A registered energy advisor working under an NRCan-licensed service organization. Every provider listed on AuditYourHome is a licensed service organization — we link the registration source on each profile and we don’t list solar or HVAC sales reps as “auditors.”
No — it closed to new applicants in February 2024, and the interest-free Greener Homes Loan closed October 1, 2025. Plenty of websites still advertise both. The live money in Ontario right now is Home Renovation Savings, Toronto HELP, and the CMHC Eco premium refunds — see our program tracker for what’s verified as of August 23, 2026.
Verified listings are free. We send homeowners who already know their era profile, their likely upgrades, and their rebate path — the most qualified audit lead there is.
