Grants, Rebates & Programs for Plumbing, Water & Home Upgrades
If you’re planning plumbing repairs or home upgrades, take a moment to see if you qualify for one of these programs. They can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs — and are often underused by Ontario homeowners who simply don’t know they exist.
Program / Initiative
What It Covers
Why It Matters
Rebates for home energy-efficiency upgrades: insulation, heat-pump water heaters, smart thermostats, air sealing, and more.
If you’re upgrading plumbing or water heating (e.g. heat-pump water heater), or doing a renovation, you may benefit from rebates — saving on both plumbing and energy costs.
Provides forgivable loans (or grants for eligible households) for essential home repairs — including plumbing repairs or system upgrades.
Useful for homeowners wanting to improve efficiency, reduce energy bills, or modernize plumbing/heating.
Grants (and past program rebates) for energy-efficiency improvements, including certain water-heating or plumbing-related retrofits.
Helps homeowners on limited budgets do necessary plumbing repairs or upgrades without upfront full cost — good fit for aging homes or households needing essential fixes.
Important: These programs often have eligibility requirements — such as income limits, home age/type, primary residence status, or requirement for energy-efficiency upgrades. Always check the program details carefully and (in some cases) apply before you start work or renovations.
