The Home Renovation Savings Program is a newly announced initiative set to launch on January 28, 2025. Through a partnership between Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, Ottawa homeowners can receive rebates on various energy-efficient upgrades, including cold climate heat pumps, insulation, and solar panels. Whether your home uses natural gas or electricity, the goal of this program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut down on your overall energy expenses.
