Follow these 4 steps to get your rebate
We never come uninvited: Union Gas never authorizes others to perform unsolicited inspections on home equipment, such as furnaces and water heaters, and never calls to promote products and services. Energy assessments for the Home Reno Rebate program are performed by licensed service organizations only at the request of homeowners.
Before starting any renovations, call a participating certified energy advisor in your area
You can find one using the Postal Code Lookup above. A certified energy advisor is an independent third party who will advise you on upgrades and help you make sure you meet the qualifications for the program.
Have your certified energy advisor complete a pre-renovation energy assessment
The energy advisor will conduct a basement-to-attic assessment of your home’s current energy use and generate a customized report to explain which upgrades can improve your home’s energy efficiency. The pre-renovation assessment takes about two to three hours. When you complete the program, you’ll be reimbursed up to $600 for the cost of the assessments, which typically covers the full amount; you pay the HST on the cost of the assessments.2
Complete at least TWO of the eligible renovations
We recommend you get at least three quotes before selecting a reputable contractor for renovations. Have a Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) registered contractor perform any equipment installations.
Contact your certified energy advisor to complete your post-renovation assessment
Your second assessment will take about one to two hours and must be completed within 120 days of your first assessment. This assessment will calculate the new energy efficiency of your home based on the upgrades you completed. Your advisor will collect and submit all the necessary paperwork to Union Gas. You will get your rebate cheque within 120 days of submission.

1 Some restrictions apply. If you have questions about whether your home qualifies, please contact a certified energy advisor. A home that is demolished and rebuilt between the first and second assessments would not be eligible to participate in the Home Reno Rebate program.
2 For remote areas, customers may incur travel costs in addition to the cost of the assessment.
Limited time offer. Maximum of 120 days between your first and second assessments allowed. If there are circumstances that don’t allow you to complete your first and second assessments within 120 days, your advisor can request an extension which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If you have already participated in the Home Reno Rebate program and received a rebate, you may participate again as long as one year has passed since your post-renovation assessment and you are completing different upgrades. Rebates available on a first come, first served basis. Program enrollment and rebate payment subject to availability of funds. Union Gas reserves the right to revise program without advance notice including rebate amounts and eligibility.
