See what's actually open for you → Four questions. Only programs still accepting applications.Closed. July 31, 2026 was the last day to apply.

Closed to new applicants. Superseded by the Home Renovation Savings Program, which Enbridge now co-delivers. Older guides still list HER+ separately.
Paused to new applications as of the spring 2026 provincial budget.
