Ontario Attic Insulation Rebates
Ontario Attic Insulation Rebates (2026 Guide)
Ontario families can access significant rebates through the Home Renovation Savings (HRS) Program to offset the cost of attic insulation upgrades. Eligible families may receive rebates covering up to 100% of insulation costs, up to $3,100.
Who Qualifies for the HRS Rebate?
- Own a detached, semi-detached, or row townhome in Ontario
- The property is your primary residence
- Your home is heated by natural gas, electricity, oil, propane, or wood
- Your attic insulation must be upgraded to at least R-50 (Ontario Building Code minimum)
- Work must be completed by a licensed, participating contractor
How Much Can You Save?
The HRS program offers rebates based on the energy efficiency improvements achieved. For attic insulation:
- Up to $3,100 for attic insulation upgrades to R-50 or higher
- Combined with other eligible upgrades, total rebates can reach $5,000+
- Many families save 70–85% of the total project cost through rebates
How the Rebate Process Works
- Step 1: Schedule a free home energy assessment with Canada Energy Solution
- Step 2: Our certified inspector evaluates your current insulation R-value and rebate eligibility
- Step 3: We complete the insulation upgrade to R-50 or higher standards
- Step 4: We handle all rebate paperwork and submit on your behalf
- Step 5: You receive your rebate, guaranteed for qualifying families
Why Upgrade to R-50 or Higher?
R-50 is the current Ontario Building Code minimum for attic insulation. At CES, we recommend upgrading to R-60 for maximum energy savings, exceeding code requirements. Most older GTA homes have R-20 to R-30, well below the minimum standard. Upgrading your attic insulation can:
- Save $400–$1,200 per year on heating and cooling bills
- Eliminate cold spots and uneven temperatures between floors
- Prevent ice dams and icicle buildup that cause roof leaks and water damage
- Reduce allergens, dust, and pollen entering your home
- Increase your property resale value
Measuring Your Current Insulation
Not sure how much insulation you have? Here are some guidelines:
- If you can see the attic floor joists, you likely have less than R-20 and need an upgrade
- If insulation is level with or just above the joists, you likely have R-20 to R-30
- R-50 requires approximately 14–17 inches of blown-in insulation (R-60 requires 16–20 inches)
- Proper ventilation (baffle rafters and airways) must be maintained to prevent moisture buildup

Location of Residential Insulation
Essential for energy efficiency, attic insulation reduces heat loss, lowers utility bills, and maintains a comfortable home environment year-round.
Wall Insulation
Crucial for thermal regulation, wall insulation minimizes energy transfer, enhances indoor comfort, and reduces heating and cooling costs.
Floor Insulation
Floor insulation is key for maintaining consistent temperatures, reducing noise, and preventing heat loss, especially in homes with exposed underfloor areas.
Ceiling Insulation
Ceiling insulation plays a vital role in retaining heat within living spaces, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall home comfort.
Insulating basements is essential for moisture control, temperature stability, and energy efficiency, particularly in homes with below-ground living areas.
House Insulation Types
Insulation materials, including blown-in, foam board, batt, roll, spray foam, and radiant barriers, significantly enhance energy efficiency and comfort in buildings.
Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is made of small particles of fiber, foam, or other materials. It's ideal for adding insulation to existing finished areas, irregularly shaped areas, and around obstructions. This type is typically applied using a special blowing device and is perfect for attics and wall cavities.
Batt Insulation
Batt insulation consists of pre-cut panels of fiberglass or mineral wool insulation. It's commonly used in spaces with standard spacing between joists and studs, such as walls, floors, and ceilings. Easy to handle and install, it's a popular choice for DIY projects and offers effective thermal and acoustic insulation.
Roll Insulation
Similar to batt insulation but available in long rolls, roll insulation can be cut and trimmed to fit various spaces. Made primarily of fiberglass, it's suitable for large areas without obstructions, like floors and ceilings. Roll insulation is a cost-effective solution for covering large areas quickly.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a liquid foam that expands and hardens upon application, creating a tight seal against air and moisture. It's excellent for sealing gaps, cracks, and voids, providing superior thermal insulation and air sealing. Available in open-cell and closed-cell varieties, it's ideal for a range of applications, including walls, roofs, and around windows and doors.
Foam Board Insulation
Foam board insulation is a rigid panel used to insulate walls, floors, and ceilings. Made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane, it provides high insulation value with minimal thickness. Ideal for reducing heat conduction through structural elements like wood and steel studs, it's often used in both new construction and retrofit projects.
Radiant Barrier Insulation
Radiant barrier insulation is designed to reflect heat rather than absorb it. Made from a reflective material like aluminum foil, it's typically installed in attics to reduce summer heat gain and lower cooling costs. This type of insulation is most effective in hot climates and works by reflecting radiant heat away from the living space.
How Much Does Attic Insulation Cost in Toronto?
What Affects the Price?
The cost of attic insulation in Toronto depends on a few key factors: your attic size, the material used, and how much insulation you already have. Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately and avoid surprises.
- Attic size: Larger attics require more material and labour time
- Current insulation depth: Homes with little or no existing insulation need more material to reach R-60
- Material choice: Cellulose is typically 10–15% less expensive than fiberglass at current GTA supplier pricing
- Accessibility: Tight attic hatches, low roof lines, or obstructions may add setup time
- Attic condition: If mould, moisture damage, or pest contamination is found, professional removal and remediation is recommended before installing new insulation
How Much Will You Actually Save?
Upgrading your attic insulation to R-60 is one of the highest-ROI home improvements you can make in Ontario. Between the government rebate and your annual energy savings, Many families come out ahead within the first year.
Types of Insulation for Your Attic

- Best for: New builds, standard-framed attics, noise reduction
- R-Value: 2.9 – 4.3 per inch
- Typical cost: $1,900 – $2,150
A liquid foam that expands on contact, sealing every gap and crack to create the strongest air and moisture barrier available. Spray foam offers the highest R-value per inch of any insulation type, making it ideal for families who want maximum energy efficiency.

Very courteous and professional
I got inspector John's number from my friend who have had his service before. He responsed very quickly, called me the same date, and came visit my house the next day. He was very courteous and professional, checked many places in my house and dignosed where the problems are coming from, turns out I only had less than 7" of the insulation on my attic, and its unevenly distributed everywhere, even saw..

Increased to 21 inches
I had my attic insulation increased to 21 inches last weekend. I was skeptical at first when Jakey told me about the numberous benefits of increased attic insulation. Right now, I think the upper rooms feels much warmer and the furnace seems to be running less as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your energy bills have been rising, some rooms feel noticeably colder in winter or hotter in summer, or your insulation is less than 16 inches deep, your attic likely needs an upgrade. Ice dams forming on your roof in winter are another common sign. The easiest way to find out is to book a free assessment. Our inspector will measure your current R-value and give you an honest recommendation.
Most installations are completed in a single day for a standard GTA home. Our crew arrives in the morning and finishes by the afternoon, with full cleanup included. Larger homes or homes requiring insulation removal may take up to two days.
Yes. We guarantee rebate approval for qualifying families. We have helped hundreds of families across the GTA successfully receive their rebates, and we handle every step of the application on your behalf: from paperwork to submission to follow-up.
In most cases, no. We blow new insulation directly on top of your existing material to reach the R-60 target. If our inspector finds mould, moisture damage, or pest contamination, we will recommend professional removal and remediation before installing fresh insulation.
The average GTA family saves between $400 and $1,200 per year on heating and cooling after upgrading to R-60. Your exact savings depend on your home's size, age, current insulation level, and HVAC system efficiency.

R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow. The higher the number, the better the insulation. R-60 is the current Ontario building code standard for attic insulation, and it is also the level required to qualify for the maximum HRS rebate. Most older GTA homes have R-20 to R-30 in their attics, which means significant room for improvement.
Very little. Our crew works entirely in the attic space. There is no need to move furniture or vacate your home. We lay protective coverings over hallways and clean up completely when the job is done. Most families tell us they barely noticed we were there.
