The Ontario attic insulation rebate sits inside Home Renovation Savings, which Enbridge Gas funds alongside Save on Energy. Under its attic stream, homeowners can get money back for raising an attic to R-50 or more without booking an energy audit.
Barrie Attic Insulation measures your starting R-value on a free visit, so you know which attic insulation rebate level your home would fall into. This page explains the program in plain terms. Last checked October 2026.
How big the attic insulation rebate is comes down to the starting R-value, and the finished attic has to hit R-50 or better. According to the program's website:
An attic that starts at R-12 or less can qualify for up to $1,250.
An attic that starts above R-12 and up to R-25 can qualify for up to $1,000.
An attic that starts above R-25 and up to R-35 can qualify for up to $800.
Sloped and flat ceilings get their own attic insulation rebate scale: up to $750 when brought from R-25 or less to R-28, or up to $650 when brought from R-12 or less to R-20. Whatever the tier, the cheque is capped at half of what the job cost after tax.
There is a second way to the attic insulation rebate. Book a registered energy advisor for a home energy assessment before and after the work, and the attic insulation rebate climbs to $1,500, $1,200 or $900 for the same three starting depths, with sloped and flat ceilings at $780. The assessment route also opens the door to other measures in the same visit, and it lets you use any contractor you like, not only a listed one.
The program is for owners, not tenants, though a landlord can apply for a rental house, and a seasonal cottage may qualify. Detached houses, semis, row houses and non-stacked townhouses count, as do mobile homes set on a permanent foundation. Stacked townhouses are left out. Enbridge Gas customers with an active account and a gas furnace or boiler qualify, and so do homes connected to the Ontario electricity grid that heat with electricity, propane, oil or wood.
An address that already collected an attic rebate from Enbridge Gas, Save on Energy or any other Ontario program cannot claim again, and a home lived in for six months or fewer is not yet eligible. Every reachable part of the attic has to be insulated, not just the easy half.
Without an assessment, the attic insulation rebate is paid only on jobs done by a company on the program's contractor list, and that company submits the claim for you. As of October 2026 the list is closed: no new contractors are being accepted, and the names shown are Brand Insulation, EcoComfort, George Kent, Great Northern Insulation, Home Depot and Solidcare. Check the list on homerenovationsavings.ca before you sign anything if you intend to claim the attic insulation rebate this way. Should your preferred installer be missing from it, the assessment route above still lets you use them.
Rebate programs in Ontario have opened, changed and closed with little notice. The program's own site prints no end date, but one of the listed companies reports that it is currently scheduled to end November 30, 2026, that it was extended once already, and that funds go out first come, first served. The attic insulation rebate figures on this page come from the program's website in October 2026. Confirm the current rules and your eligibility there before you count on any amount.
Rebate or no rebate, a Barrie attic upgrade starts by measuring what is up there today. Phone (705) 243-3246 to set up that measurement. Our home page has every service, and the attic insulation cost page explains pricing.
Most attic jobs in Barrie combine two of these, such as air sealing and a top-up.
Blown-in attic insulation fills the whole attic floor with loose fibres that settle around trusses, wires and vent pipes. We blow it to a measured depth, usually R-60, and write that depth on the invoice.
Details and pricing
An attic insulation top-up blows fresh loose fill on top of whatever layer is already there. It is the quickest and least expensive way to bring an attic up to today's levels without tearing anything out.
Details and pricing
Ice dam prevention means keeping the roof boards cold so snow does not melt from underneath. We do it from inside the attic by sealing air leaks, adding attic insulation and keeping the eave vents open.
Details and pricing
Attic insulation removal clears out worn or spoiled material, leaving bare joists ready for sealing and a fresh fill. We remove loose fill, old batts and mixed layers with a high-powered vacuum.
Details and pricing
Attic air sealing plugs the cracks and holes in a ceiling that leak heated air upward. We seal those gaps with spray foam, caulking and gaskets before any new attic insulation is blown over them.
Details and pricing
Attic ventilation lets outside air flow in low at the soffits and out high at the roof vents, so the attic stays cold and dry in winter. We check that flow and fix it as part of every insulation job.
Details and pricing
Cathedral ceiling insulation fills the space between the rafters in rooms where the ceiling follows the roof. That includes vaulted living rooms, bonus rooms over a garage and the upper floor of a story-and-a-half house.
Details and pricing
The attic insulation cost for most Barrie houses falls between $1,250 and $3,000. The figure for your house comes down to three things: the attic's square footage, the depth already up there and the number of air leaks to close.
