The Canada Greener Homes Grant is one of the most significant home improvement programs available to Ontario homeowners today. Since its launch, the program has helped thousands of Canadians reduce their energy bills while receiving meaningful financial support for making their homes more sustainable.
To qualify, you must own and occupy your primary residence, which can be a detached home, semi-detached, row house, or certain types of condominiums. The grant is not available for rental properties or secondary residences. You must also register for the program before getting your first energy audit — this is a critical step that many homeowners miss.
The application process begins with registering on the official Canada Greener Homes Grant website. Once registered, you'll need to schedule a pre-retrofit evaluation with a certified energy advisor. This audit costs approximately $400-$600 and is partially offset by a $600 grant included in the program.
After the energy audit, you'll receive a report detailing recommended upgrades. Window and door replacements are among the highest-value upgrades, with grants of up to $200 per window and $250 per door. The maximum total grant per household is $5,000. At Arev Windows & Doors, we work with all major Energy Star certified products that qualify for the maximum grant amounts.
Following your installation, you'll need a post-retrofit evaluation by the same certified energy advisor. This confirms the improvements were made correctly and documents the energy savings achieved. The final step is submitting your claim, which typically results in payment within 4-6 weeks.
Arev Windows & Doors has helped hundreds of GTA homeowners successfully navigate this process. Our team handles all the product documentation required for your claim and can refer you to certified energy advisors in your area. If you're considering new windows or doors, now is the time — grant funding is subject to availability and the program has a fixed budget.
