Canada Greener Homes Grant vs. the Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate

The Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG) is an initiative that currently offers up to 700,000 grants of up to $5,000 to Canadian homeowners looking to improve their homes’ energy efficiency. It was launched in May 2021 as part of the 2020 Fall Economic Statement.

On the other hand, the Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate (EHER) offers Ontario homeowners rebates of up to $5,000 for upgrading their homes’ insulation, skylights, furnaces, boilers, doors, and windows.

Both initiatives reward Canadian homeowners for making their homes more energy-efficient. However, only the CGHG is open to all Canadian homeowners. EHER is only available to Enbridge Gas and Union Gas customers read more here
