A Window of Opportunity!

Imperial Windows & Doors helps homeowners throughout Toronto and the GTA complete the window and door portion of the program. We offer qualifying energy-efficient replacement windows, entry doors and sliding patio doors with professional installation.

We also work with an independent inspection and home-energy assessment company to help customers arrange the assessments required by the program. Final eligibility and rebate approval are determined by the Home Renovation Savings program and the registered energy advisor.

Important: The initial home energy assessment must be completed before any window, door or other qualifying renovation work begins. Work completed before the initial assessment will not qualify.

Home Renovation Savings Program at a Glance

Eligible homeowners may receive:

  • $100 per eligible window or door rough opening
  • A $600 rebate to help offset the initial and follow-up home energy assessments
  • An additional $500 bonus when three or more qualifying upgrade categories are completed
  • Separate rebates for eligible insulation, air sealing and heat-pump water-heater upgrades

To participate in the window and door portion of the program, homeowners must:

  • Own an eligible Ontario home
  • Complete an initial home energy assessment before beginning any work
  • Complete at least two qualifying upgrade categories
  • Install qualifying ENERGY STAR® certified windows or doors
  • Use a professional contractor for the installation
  • Complete a follow-up home energy assessment
  • Provide the required invoices and supporting documentation

Homeowners should always review the official program requirements before beginning their project because eligibility requirements, deadlines and available funding can change.

Is the Canada Greener Homes Grant Still Available?

No. The Canada Greener Homes Grant and Canada Greener Homes Loan are closed to new applicants. Natural Resources Canada provides the current status on its official closed Canada Greener Homes Grant page.

The Home Renovation Savings program is a separate Ontario program delivered by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, with support from the Ontario government.

Homeowners should not rely on the requirements or rebate amounts from the previous Greener Homes programs. The current program has different rebate amounts, assessment requirements and eligibility rules.

How Much Is the Ontario Window and Door Rebate?

The Home Renovation Savings program currently provides $100 per qualifying rough opening.

For example:

  • Three windows in three rough openings may provide a $300 rebate
  • Six windows in six rough openings may provide a $600 rebate
  • Ten windows in ten rough openings may provide a $1,000 rebate
  • One eligible entry door may provide a $100 rebate
  • Ten windows and one sliding patio door may provide a $1,100 rebate

These examples show only the potential rebate for the window and door portion of the project. Homeowners must still complete at least one additional qualifying upgrade category.

If you are budgeting for a replacement project, our complete Window Replacement Cost in Toronto Guide explains typical window prices, glass options and installation costs.

What Is a Rough Opening?

The rebate is calculated according to the number of rough openings—not necessarily the number of glass panels, operating sashes or window sections.

A rough opening is the structural opening in the exterior wall where the complete window or door system is installed.

For example, a window containing three separate sections may still be installed within one structural opening. In that situation, it may count as one rough opening rather than three.

The registered energy advisor will confirm the number of eligible rough openings during the assessment process.

Minimum Window and Door Requirements

For windows and doors to count as one qualifying upgrade category, the project must include at least:

  • Three window rough openings; or
  • One entry door rough opening; or
  • One sliding patio door rough opening; or
  • One skylight rough opening

Replacing only one or two windows does not meet the minimum window requirement.

However, one qualifying entry door or sliding patio door may meet the minimum requirement for the window-and-door category. The homeowner will still need to complete a second qualifying energy-efficiency upgrade.

Homeowners considering an exterior door project can review our Entry Door Replacement Toronto Guide for information about door materials, glass options, security, installation and typical costs.

Understanding the Two-Upgrade Rule

All eligible windows, entry doors, sliding patio doors and skylights combined count as one qualifying upgrade category, regardless of how many openings are replaced.

The homeowner must complete at least one additional qualifying upgrade recommended through the initial home energy assessment.

Possible project combinations may include:

  • Windows and doors plus attic insulation
  • Windows and doors plus basement insulation
  • Windows and doors plus exterior wall insulation
  • Windows and doors plus a qualifying heat-pump water heater
  • Windows and doors plus qualifying air sealing

Air sealing must achieve the program’s required airtightness target. Because the result is measured during the follow-up assessment, homeowners should speak with their registered energy advisor before relying on air sealing as their only additional upgrade.

Homeowners who complete three qualifying upgrade categories may receive an additional $500 multi-upgrade bonus under the current program rules.

Which Windows and Doors Qualify?

The selected products and installation must meet the program’s eligibility requirements.

Generally, the project must include:

  • ENERGY STAR® certified window or door models
  • Complete replacement window or door systems
  • Professional installation
  • Replacement of older, non-qualifying products
  • The required minimum number of rough openings
  • Installation completed after the initial home energy assessment

Homeowners should keep the ENERGY STAR labels attached to the windows and doors until the follow-up assessment is complete.

Imperial Windows & Doors can provide detailed invoices and available product information for the windows and doors we install. The registered energy advisor will confirm whether the selected products and installation meet the program requirements.

The complete technical conditions are available in the program’s official window and door eligibility requirements.

Do Retrofit Windows Qualify?

A complete replacement window and frame may be installed within an existing window frame and may still qualify, provided the product and installation meet all current program requirements.

The following types of work do not qualify:

  • Glass-only replacement
  • Insulated glass-unit replacement
  • Window-sash-only replacement
  • Door-slab-only replacement
  • Repairs or alterations to an existing window or door

The project must include a complete qualifying window or door system rather than simply replacing one component.

Imperial provides both retrofit and complete brick-to-brick window replacement. The correct installation method depends on the condition of the existing frames, the selected products and the needs of the home. You can learn more about our professional window and door installation process before requesting your estimate.

How the Rebate Process Works

1. Discuss Your Window or Door Project

Contact Imperial Windows & Doors for a free estimate. We will review the windows or doors you want to replace and explain the available energy-efficient product options.

You can receive an estimate before the home energy assessment, but no qualifying installation work should begin until the assessment has been completed.

2. Complete the Initial Home Energy Assessment

Before beginning any qualifying installation or renovation, a registered energy advisor from an approved Service Organization must inspect the home.

Imperial works with an independent inspection and home-energy assessment company and can help customers arrange the required assessment.

The registered energy advisor will inspect the home, provide an EnerGuide rating and prepare a Renovation Upgrade Report identifying recommended energy-efficiency improvements.

Homeowners can also review the program’s current list of approved Service Organizations.

3. Select at Least Two Qualifying Upgrades

After receiving the Renovation Upgrade Report, the homeowner chooses at least two qualifying upgrade categories.

Windows and doors count as one category. At least one additional qualifying upgrade must be selected and completed.

The registered energy advisor can explain which improvements are recommended for the home and what must be completed to meet the program requirements.

4. Complete the Window and Door Installation

Imperial Windows & Doors will professionally install the selected qualifying windows, entry doors or sliding patio doors.

We will provide the invoice and available product information for our portion of the project. Homeowners should keep the ENERGY STAR labels attached until after the follow-up assessment.

5. Complete the Additional Qualifying Upgrade

The second qualifying improvement must be completed according to the specifications in the Renovation Upgrade Report.

Different improvements may require different contractors. Confirm all requirements with the registered energy advisor before authorizing the work.

6. Schedule the Follow-Up Assessment

After all qualifying improvements have been completed, the homeowner must schedule a follow-up assessment through the same approved Service Organization that completed the initial assessment.

The advisor will inspect the completed work and collect the required invoices and supporting documentation.

7. Receive the Rebate

After the follow-up assessment is completed and the registered energy advisor submits all required documents, the rebate cheque should generally arrive by mail within approximately 60 days.

Processing times and final approval remain subject to the program administrator.

How Imperial Windows & Doors Can Help

Imperial Windows & Doors assists with the window and door portion of the process by:

  • Providing a free window and door estimate
  • Explaining available ENERGY STAR® certified product options
  • Connecting homeowners with the independent assessment company we work with
  • Coordinating installation timing around the required assessment
  • Professionally installing qualifying windows and exterior doors
  • Providing detailed invoices and available product information
  • Answering window and door questions throughout the project

The independent registered energy advisor—not Imperial—determines program eligibility, completes the assessments and submits the rebate documentation.

Homeowners can review our customer reviews and completed project experiences before choosing an installation company.

Who May Qualify?

The assessment-based program is generally available to Ontario homeowners who:

  • Own the home being upgraded
  • Own an eligible detached or semi-detached house
  • Own an eligible row house or townhome
  • Own an eligible mobile home on a permanent foundation
  • Primarily heat the home with Enbridge-supplied natural gas; or
  • Heat with electricity, propane, oil or wood and are connected to the eligible Ontario electricity grid
  • Complete the initial assessment before beginning any work
  • Complete at least two qualifying upgrade categories

Newly constructed homes must generally have at least six months of occupancy. Stacked townhomes, apartments and certain multi-unit residential buildings may not qualify.

The registered energy advisor should confirm the property’s eligibility before installation or renovation work begins.

Important 2026 Program Deadlines

Under the currently published program requirements, the follow-up assessment must be completed within 180 days of the initial assessment or by December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first.

The follow-up assessment must also be scheduled and entered into the program’s system by November 30, 2026.

Program deadlines, eligibility requirements and available funding may change. Homeowners considering window or door replacement should begin the assessment process as early as possible and verify current information through the official Home Renovation Savings website.
