days left on the attic rebate — up to $1,250, no energy audit — how it works

Attic · Walls · Garage ceiling

Your attic is where
the money leaves.

We insulate and air-seal houses across the GTA and Southern Ontario, and we are a participating contractor on the rebate that pays for the attic. Registrations for new contractors on that stream are closed — so the list of companies who can still put your file through is the list that was already on it.

What closes

The Home Renovation Savings program, Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy together, is scheduled to end on 30 November 2026. The attic stream pays up to $1,250 and needs no energy assessment. Every figure, with the source.

Why it matters now

The programme website states that contractor registrations for the attic stream are currently closed. A company not already registered cannot get you this rebate, and cannot become able to before the deadline.

What we will not do

We will not tell you the clock is a marketing device. It is the published programme end date, and if it is extended again we will say so here the week it happens.

No form in front of it

Look at the hatch. How deep is it?

The rebate tier is set by what is up there now, not by what we put in. You can see the depth from the hatch with a phone light — four inches looks like a blanket, sixteen looks like a snowdrift. Pick the closest and you get the tier and the dollar figure immediately.

Four inches of attic insulation beside sixteen inches, drawn to the same scale As we usually find it R–12 About 4 inches, settled Ontario code in the 1970s What the rebate pays for R–50 About 16 inches, blown Current Ontario standard 16″ 8″ 4″ 0 Drawn to one scale. Depth is measured at the joist, away from the hatch and the eaves.

Two ways through

The fast one, and the one that pays more.

Most companies show you one. They are different programmes with different rules, and which one suits you depends on whether you are doing the attic alone or the whole envelope.

Attic only · no assessment

Attic stream

One measure, one visit, no auditor in the house. This is the one closing on 30 November and the one whose contractor list is shut.

  • No pre-work or post-work energy assessment
  • Must be installed by a participating contractor
  • One attic rebate per home, ever
  • Capped at 50% of the invoice after tax
  • Blown to R–50, measured and photographed
Up to $1,250Set by your current depth

Whole envelope · assessment required

Assessment stream

An energy advisor assesses the house before and after. More paperwork, more time, and considerably more money if you are doing walls and basement too.

  • Attic to R–50 pays up to $1,500 on this path
  • Exterior walls up to $3,600
  • Basement walls up to $1,500, exposed floor $300
  • Air sealing up to $250, windows and doors $100 an opening
  • At least two upgrades; a third adds a $500 bonus
Up to $7,700Insulation measures combined

Figures quoted from the Home Renovation Savings program pages, attic stream and assessment stream, checked 17 September 2026. The programme sets the amounts, not us. The full table is here.

Four places, one envelope

Where we work, and why each one matters.

The rule nobody mentions

The rebate is capped at half the invoice.

Your tier is a ceiling, not a cheque. If the job costs less than twice the tier, you get half the job instead. We would rather you heard that from us on a Tuesday than from the programme after the work is done.

How the attic rebate is calculated against the invoice, including the fifty per cent ceiling Two houses, same tier, different outcome House A · invoice $3,400 $1,250 back Tier pays $1,250, and $1,250 is under half the invoice. Paid in full. House B · invoice $1,900 $950 back Same tier, but the ceiling is half the invoice, so $950 is the answer. Rebate is capped at 50% of the project cost after tax. Figures are examples. We put the real number on your quote before you sign anything.

Why the attic first

Heat goes up. So does the bill.

Warm air rises, finds the gaps at the top of the house, and takes your heating with it. In a house built before 1990 the ceiling and the air leaks around it beat every other loss combined — which is exactly why the programme made the attic the one measure you can claim on its own.

Where heat leaves an older Ontario house, ranked Typical pre-1990 Ontario house Ranked by how much heat leaves, not by what it costs to fix Attic and ceiling Air leakage — gaps, hatch, penetrations Exterior walls Windows and doors Basement and rim joist Exposed floor over the garage Indicative. Every house is measured before we quote.

We recently had the misfortune of having raccoons enter our attic from one of the air vents on the roof. After we got them out we realized they made a complete mess of our insulation. After interviewing a few insulation companies, we had a good feeling about Top Reno Solutions. They also handled the energy inspection so we could get a government rebate. It was a 2 day job and the workers were very professional, prompt, polite, clean and detailed in their work and respectful of our living space.

Awesome service and very transparent in terms of process. Amir showed me the before and after of my attic as well as explaining what had been done. Sent me lots of pictures as well showing the thickness of the insulation as well.

Photographs of your attic before and after, with the depth marked, come as standard. They are also what the programme wants to see, so the file and the reassurance are the same piece of work.

Book an attic check

Someone goes up, measures, and photographs it.

You get the depth, the tier, the dollar figure and the photographs — whether or not you go ahead with us. If your attic is already over R–35 we will tell you the stream will not pay, and we will tell you on the phone rather than after the visit.
