Save on Energy and Enbridge Gas incentive applications

Ontario's energy efficiency programs can cover a large share of a retrofit, but the applications are technical and the rules are strict. We handle the whole process, from eligibility screening to the incentive cheque.

How it works

We review your scope, flag every measure that may qualify and estimate the incentive before you commit.

Calculations and pre-approval

We prepare baseline data and kWh, kW and m³ savings calculations, and submit before equipment is purchased.

Program liaison

We answer reviewer questions and keep the file moving with program representatives.

Post-project submission

We compile invoices, photos and commissioning records for the final submission.

Follow-through to payment

We track the file until payment and resolve any deficiencies the program raises.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need pre-approval before buying equipment?

For most custom incentives, yes. Enbridge Gas requires Commercial Custom Retrofit projects to be pre-approved, and Save on Energy custom projects also need approval before work starts. Buying first is the most common reason incentives are lost.

Can one project get both Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy incentives?

Often, yes, when a project saves both natural gas and electricity, such as a ventilation upgrade with VFDs and demand control. Each program pays for its own fuel savings, and we coordinate the two applications.

How long does it take to get paid?

It depends on the program and project size. Pre-approval can take several weeks, and payment follows the post-project review. We keep the file moving and tell you where it stands at each step.

What does the free eligibility check include?

Send us the basics of your project: building type, equipment and rough scope. We'll tell you which programs may apply and give you a rough incentive range.
