Insulation
Rebates
In Canada, insulation rebates are offered by the government to encourage energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in homes and businesses. Each province and territory has its own rules and incentives to help make buildings more energy-efficient.
Homeowners can claim a tax credit of up to 30% of the product cost, with a maximum amount credited of $1,200 annually.
There are aggregate yearly limits on the amount of credit that can be claimed for home envelope improvements, including insulation.
Bulk insulation products like batts, rolls, blow-in fibers, rigid boards, and expanding spray qualify for rebates. Air-sealing products with a Manufacturer’s Certification Statement are also eligible.
The rebate applies to existing homes that serve as the owner’s principal residence. New constructions and rentals do not qualify.
Some programs offer insulation upgrades without any upfront costs, allowing homeowners to pay for the enhancements based on a plan that suits their budget.
