How Ontario Home Grants works

Instead of sorting through dozens of government and utility programs yourself, we give you a single, simple path from “confused” to “ready to upgrade”.

We cross-check federal, provincial and local incentives to identify which programs are likely to apply.

A licensed local contractor reviews your situation, confirms eligibility and walks you through next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ontario Home Grants part of the government?

No. Ontario Home Grants is an independent, not-for-profit resource. We help homeowners understand and access existing government and utility programs.

Do you charge homeowners for this service?

There is no fee for homeowners. In some cases, participating contractors may pay a referral fee so we can keep the service free to use.

What if I rent instead of own?

Most programs are targeted at homeowners. If you rent, certain incentives may still apply through your landlord or building owner.

Will I be pressured to buy anything?

No. Contractors we work with are required to provide clear, written quotes and allow time for you to decide. You always remain in control.
