Premier McGuinty unveiled a new bundle of programs to help Ontarians upgrade their homes, save money and help Ontario meets its greenhouse gas emissions targets. These programs will be funded through money set aside in the 2007 Budget. They include:
A Home Energy Retrofit Program that will provide up to $4,375 for home energy retrofits that include Energy Star qualified furnaces for heating, solar domestic water systems and insulation Extending the retail sales tax rebate on qualifying solar, wind, micro hydro-electric and geothermal equipment to January 1, 2010
Saskatchewan Residents
The Government of Saskatchewan announced March 26, 2007 it has extended the Saskatchewan EnerGuide for Houses retrofit grant program until March 31, 2011. Individuals who qualify under this new program may also qualify for the ecoENERGY Retrofit Initiative introduced by the Federal government January 21, 2007 and launching April 1, 2007.
Saskatchewan Grant of $3,500 for Geothermal systems applies if you are replacing an existing wood, electrical, oil or propane primary heating system. To be eligible for the grant if replacing a natural gas heating system, the electricity to run the system must be generated on-site using a renewable resource. This criteria takes into consideration economics and the impact on the environment in Saskatchewan.

This $60 million program creates a single access point for provincial, utility and federal incentives by highlighting the best opportunities for energy savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
