Short answer: The Same Guys Insulation is a Bowmanville-based attic insulation contractor that does Ontario Home Renovation Savings (Enbridge / Save on Energy) attic rebate jobs for homeowners across Durham Region. Under the program’s attic stream, homeowners can get back 50% of their after-tax attic insulation cost, up to $1,250, with no energy assessment required — as long as the work is done by a participating contractor and the attic ends up at R-50 or higher. Send us your address, attic details or a few photos and we’ll give you a quote. For some homes, depending on age and construction, we do a quick site check before the job so there are no surprises. We handle the removal (if needed), the re-insulation, and the contractor-side application. Call 647-453-7037.
Figures and rules on this page are taken from the official Home Renovation Savings program pages (linked under “Official sources” below) and were last checked November 2026. Program rules can change — we confirm the current rules with every homeowner before work starts.
How much is the attic insulation rebate?
The rebate is 50% of the total after-tax cost of your attic insulation, up to the maximum for your home’s starting insulation level, based on your starting insulation level:
| Starting insulation level | Minimum level after upgrade | Maximum rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Attic at R-12 or less | R-50 | $1,250 |
| Attic above R-12 up to R-25 | R-50 | $1,000 |
| Attic above R-25 up to R-35 | R-50 | $800 |
| Cathedral or flat roof at R-25 or less | R-28 | $750 |
| Cathedral or flat roof at R-12 or less | R-20 | $650 |
100% of the roof assembly must be insulated, and new insulation goes in the same location as any existing insulation. We typically insulate attics toward about R-60, above the R-50 program minimum.
Eligibility checklist
- You own the home (tenants can’t apply; landlords apply for their own properties).
- The home is heated primarily by an Enbridge Gas furnace or boiler, or is connected to the Ontario electricity grid and heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood (Cornwall Electric customers excluded).
- It’s a single detached house, semi, row or townhome (not stacked), or a mobile home on a permanent foundation.
- It’s not a new build occupied less than six months, and not a multi-unit building.
- The home has not already received an attic insulation rebate through HER, HER+ or another Enbridge or IESO program.
- Your attic is currently at R-35 or less (or the cathedral/flat roof levels above).
- Work is done by a participating contractor. Your starting insulation level is recorded before any old insulation comes out.
How to apply — step by step
- Pre-register / check eligibility at homerenovationsavings.ca. You’ll get access to the participating contractor list.
- Get a quote from a participating contractor. Call us at 647-453-7037, or send your address, attic details or a few photos. For some homes, depending on age and construction, we do a quick site check before the job so there are no surprises.
- Sign the program Terms and Conditions. Your starting insulation level is recorded before any old insulation comes out, so your rebate tier is set correctly. We’ll also check for moisture, mould and venting issues when we’re in the attic.
- Installation. We remove failed insulation if needed, air-seal and baffle where required, and blow in new insulation to at least R-50.
- Paperwork. We complete the contractor-side application; you provide a copy of the invoice and your property tax bill (keep copies for your records).
- Rebate payment. The program pays the rebate after the contractor submits the completed documentation.

Removal, re-insulation, mould — how they relate to the rebate
- Your rebate tier is set by the starting insulation level. That level is recorded before any old insulation comes out.
- The rebate is for insulation. Program documents describe it as covering the purchase and installation of insulation. Removal and mould-related work are not listed as covered, so we price them as separate line items.
- Why remove at all? Wet, mouldy, rodent-contaminated or badly compressed insulation shouldn’t be buried under new material. Removing it first lets us air-seal and fix venting so the new R-50+ layer actually performs. See attic insulation removal in Durham Region and our attic insulation removal service.
- Dry, sound insulation can usually stay. If your existing layer is dry and clean, a top-up to R-50+ is often all you need — and still rebate-eligible if you’re at R-35 or less.
Watch out for rebate scams
Enbridge and the IESO say they do not solicit homeowners by phone or door to door. If someone calls or knocks claiming to be “from the rebate program,” verify through the program directly: 1-866-449-8510 or info@homerenovationsavings.ca.

How much is the Ontario attic insulation rebate in 2026?
Under the attic stream (no energy assessment), the rebate is 50% of your after-tax attic insulation cost, up to a cap set by your starting insulation level: up to $1,250 if the attic is at R-12 or less, $1,000 if above R-12 to R-25, and $800 if above R-25 to R-35 — in each case the attic must be brought up to at least R-50. Cathedral or flat roofs have separate caps of $750 and $650.
Do I need an energy audit to get the Enbridge attic insulation rebate?
Not for the attic stream. The attic-only path does not require a pre- or post-assessment. A separate with-assessment path exists (attic up to $1,500, plus an assessment rebate) but it requires energy assessments and at least two upgrades.
Does the rebate cover removing old attic insulation or mould?
Program documents describe the rebate as covering the purchase and installation of insulation; they do not list removal or mould work as rebate-eligible costs. When old insulation has to come out first, we itemize removal and any mould-related work separately on the quote so you can see exactly what the rebate applies to.
Can I do attic insulation myself and still get the Home Renovation Savings rebate?
No. The attic rebate requires the work to be done by a contractor on the program’s participating contractor list. Self-installed insulation is not eligible.
Is the Ontario attic insulation rebate still available, and when is the deadline?
Enbridge Gas announced in October 2026 that the program has been extended to March 31, 2027. The official terms on homerenovationsavings.ca may still show the earlier November 2026 date, so confirm current dates there, or call the program at 1-866-449-8510, before you book.
I already got an Enbridge rebate before — can I still claim the attic rebate?
If you previously received an attic insulation rebate on the home through Home Efficiency Rebate (HER), HER+, or another Enbridge or IESO program, the home is not eligible for the attic rebate again. Rebates also cannot be combined with other Enbridge, IESO or Government of Ontario incentives for the same work.
How long does a rebate-eligible attic job take?
Most of our attic jobs — including remove-and-re-insulate — are completed in one day once scheduled. Larger attics, heavy contamination, or mould-related work can add time; we give you a realistic timeline when we quote.
