Requirements for upgrades made on or before September 30, 2022
Program details sometimes change
The Home Renovation Rebate Program details can change slightly over time (no more than twice per year) based on factors like changing industry standards, customer participation and more. The information on our website reflects the current program requirements, but if a program change overlaps with your renovation project, we determine your eligibility based on the program requirements that were in effect as of your project invoice date.
