Ontario window and door rebates: what is open in late 2026

Which programs are open

This table summarizes each program’s own page as checked on 9 November 2026. Eligibility depends on your home, your contractor’s paperwork and the program’s rules on the day you apply.

The federal government lists the Greener Homes Grant as closed and says Greener Homes Loan funding is fully committed, so new loan applications can’t be approved. See the Canada Greener Homes Initiative page.

Home Renovation Savings: how the window rebate works

Windows and doors sit in the program’s assessment route. You book an initial home energy assessment before any work, then complete at least two eligible upgrades. Windows need at least three rough openings; a door, skylight or sliding door opening can qualify on its own. Each qualifying opening earns $100. Read the assessment-route rules.

The program’s eligibility document adds three points worth planning around:

• Windows, doors and skylights replaced together count as one upgrade. One or two windows earn nothing, even when an eligible door is replaced at the same time.
• Anything finished before the first assessment isn’t eligible.
• The same measure can’t also be claimed under another Enbridge or IESO program.

Read the additional eligibility requirements.

Deadlines. The follow-up assessment must happen within 180 days of the first one, or by 31 December 2026, whichever comes first. Follow-up assessments must be scheduled and entered by 30 November 2026. With custom windows, the order and delivery time may not fit these dates, so ask for a realistic delivery date before you commit to the rebate.

ENERGY STAR. Save on Energy says windows and doors must be ENERGY STAR certified models. Certification is listed per model and configuration. Before you count on the rebate, ask your supplier in writing which certification applies to each quoted product. See the Save on Energy program page.

Toronto HELP: a loan on your tax bill

The City of Toronto says applications for the Home Energy Loan Program are open and that window and door replacements are eligible. You can borrow up to $125,000, capped at 10% of the property’s current assessed value, and repay through your property tax bill. The City publishes its interest rates and a 2% administration charge; the current rates are valid until 31 December 2026. Check the current HELP terms.

An EnerGuide evaluation by a Natural Resources Canada registered energy advisor is required before work starts. Ask the City whether that evaluation can also serve as your provincial pre-assessment, and whether the two programs can be combined for the same openings. Don’t assume they can.

What to ask for in the quote

• Every rough opening listed separately, so the opening count is clear.
• The exact model and configuration for each opening, plus its certification record, if you are relying on ENERGY STAR.
• A delivery date you can compare with the program’s deadlines.
• The invoice details each program asks for. Check the program page before work starts.
