Ontario homeowners can get $100 back for every window and door opening they replace with an ENERGY STAR® certified product. The rebate comes from the Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP), a partnership between Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy with support from the Ontario government. It covers windows and doors as part of a larger home energy upgrade. Windows and doors on their own do not qualify; You need a home energy assessment before any work starts plus at least one other qualifying upgrade, such as attic insulation. The program has been extended to March 31, 2027.
What is the current window and door rebate?
The current window and door rebate in Ontario is $100 per rough opening, paid through the Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP). A rough opening is the structural opening in your exterior wall, so the rebate is counted per opening, not per window unit.
The rebate applies to windows, entry doors, patio and sliding doors, and skylights. All of them count together as a single upgrade.
The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant and Enbridge’s Home Efficiency Rebate Plus both closed at the end of 2025.
Who runs the Home Renovation Savings Program?
The program is run jointly by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, with backing from the Government of Ontario. It launched on January 28, 2025, and has been extended twice: first to the end of 2026, and now to March 31, 2027.
Centennial does not represent it the program. We supply and install qualifying windows and doors, and we help homeowners line the work up, so it meets the program’s rules.

How much is the window and door rebate worth?
The window and door rebate pays $100 per opening, with a minimum to qualify. You need at least one of the following:
- 3 or more window openings
- 1 entry door
- 1 sliding or patio door
- 1 skylight
A bay window or a group of windows joined in one opening counts as one opening and pays $100. Here is how a few jobs work out:
| Job | Window and Door Rebate |
|---|---|
| 2 windows | $0 (below the minimum) |
| 3 windows + 1 patio door | $400 |
| 10 windows + 1 entry door | $1,100 |
| 15 windows + 2 doors | $1,700 |
The products also must meet these rules:
- ENERGY STAR® certified, replacing windows or doors that were not
- Full unit replacement, frame included (glass-only or sash-only replacements do not qualify)
- Installed by a professional contractor
- ENERGY STAR® labels left on until your final assessment
The total rebate per home is capped at $5,000 for homes heated with Enbridge natural gas, and $10,000 for homes heated with electricity, oil, propane, or wood.
Do you need an energy assessment?
Yes. There is no windows-only path. The window and door rebate is only available if a registered energy advisor assesses your home before and after the installation.
The assessments are done by approved service organizations. One of them is Energuy, a licensed energy advisory firm that works with Centennial customers in our area. You are free to use any approved service organization, and the same advisor should do both visits.
The program provides $600 toward the cost of your energy assessments, paid once your upgrades are approved.
How does the process work?
Any work started before your first assessment can’t qualify, so the order of these steps is fixed.
- An energy advisor, such as Energuy, inspects your home and leaves a report with recommended upgrades.
- Centennial installs your ENERGY STAR® windows and doors, and a second contractor completes at least one other qualifying upgrade.
- The same advisor comes back to confirm the work and submits your paperwork to the program.
- Your rebate arrives about 30 days later by e-Transfer, or about 60 days later by cheque.
On your end, you sign the program terms and keep your invoices and a recent property tax bill ready for the final visit.
Can you combine the window and door rebate with attic insulation?
Yes, and for most homes it is the simplest way to qualify. Attic insulation counts as your second upgrade, and it often pays more than the windows do.
Centennial works with bluejack Home Services, which installs blown-in attic insulation and attic air sealing across Southwestern Ontario. The attic rebate depends on how much insulation you have now:
| Current Attic Insulation | Attic Rebate |
|---|---|
| R-12 or less | Up to $1,500 |
| Over R-12 to R-25 | Up to $1,200 |
| Over R-25 to R-35 | Up to $900 |
| Cathedral ceiling or flat roof | Up to $780 |
If your home qualifies, adding air sealing as a third upgrade pays $200 to $250 more, and completing three or more upgrades adds a $500 bonus to your rebate.
What is the deadline for the window and door rebate?
All work and your post-assessment must be completed by March 31, 2027.
The post-assessment must also happen within 180 days of your pre-assessment. If you had your first assessment early in the fall, your deadline may come before March 31.
Windows and doors are built to order, so the earlier you book your in-home consultation, the easier the deadline is to meet. See the current terms on the Home Renovation Savings website. Program rules and amounts can change, and the rules in place on the day of your post-assessment are the ones that apply.
How Centennial helps
We have been replacing windows and doors in Southwestern Ontario since 1981.
On a rebate job, we:
- Recommend ENERGY STAR® certified windows and doors that meet the program’s rules
- Schedule your install after your pre-assessment
- Provide the ENERGY STAR® labels for your advisor’s final visit
- List each opening on your invoice so the paperwork is ready to submit
We can also connect you with bluejack Home Services for the attic insultation and with Energuy for the assessments, so the whole job runs on one timeline.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get the window and door rebate without an energy assessment?
No. Windows and doors only qualify through the assessment path, with a pre-assessment before work starts and a post-assessment after.
Can I start the work before my first assessment?
No. Any work done before the pre-assessment does not qualify, even if everything else is in order.
Do rental properties qualify for the window and door rebate?
Yes. Owners can apply for homes they rent out, once per property. Tenants cannot apply.
How long does it take to get the rebate?
About 30 days by e-Transfer or about 60 days by cheque, after your energy advisor submits your file.
Do insert windows qualify?
Yes, if the new window is a complete unit with its own frame. Replacing only the glass or the sash does not qualify.
Does my home qualify?
Most detached, semi-detached, row and townhouses do, if they are heated with Enbridge natural gas or with electricity, oil, propane, or wood. Homes heated mainly by gas from another utility do not. Your energy advisor confirms eligibility at the first visit.
