- Smart Thermostats Pair With Home Battery Backup to Maximize Ontario Energy Savings
Ontario homeowners can now get up to $125 back on a smart thermostat in 2026, through Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy's Home Renovation Savings program rather than Enbridge alone. Several major brands qualify, and you can claim the rebate before or after you buy.
Here's what changed, which models qualify, and how much you can get back.
What Is the Enbridge Thermostat Rebate (HRS Smart Thermostat Program)?
The rebate that used to run directly through Enbridge Gas has moved under the Home Renovation Savings program, which Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy jointly launched on January 28, 2025. It still funds smart thermostat upgrades, but it's now bundled alongside rebates for insulation, heat pumps, and solar and battery storage, so homeowners planning more than one upgrade can apply through a single portal.
If you're already looking at ways to trim your energy bill this year, a smart thermostat is one of the cheapest places to start.
Many homeowners pair the upgrade with a broader backup plan, using a solar panel setup or a home battery like the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max (2048Wh) to keep essential circuits running when the grid goes down, while the thermostat handles day-to-day heating and cooling efficiency.
Who Qualifies for the Enbridge Thermostat Rebate in Ontario?
To qualify, you need to be an Enbridge Gas customer heating your home with natural gas, or be connected to the Ontario electricity grid and heat or cool your home electrically.
You also need to live in a single or semi-detached home, a row or townhome, or a mobile home on a permanent foundation, and you can't have previously received the rebate, discount, or free device from Enbridge Gas, Save on Energy, or the Home Renovation Savings program.
If you're a Cornwall Electric customer, you draw from the Hydro-Québec grid rather than Ontario's IESO-controlled grid, so you aren't eligible through the electricity path unless your home is also heated with Enbridge natural gas.
How Much Is the Enbridge Thermostat Rebate Worth in 2026?
The standard instant rebate is $100 per household, whether you claim it before or after your purchase. That's up from the earlier $75 offer.
Households enrolled in the Equity Access Program can qualify for a larger $125 instant rebate.
Only one rebate is available per household, regardless of how many thermostats you install.
What Smart Thermostat Models Are Eligible for the Rebate?
Six manufacturers make the eligible models, so it's worth checking before you buy.
ecobee
Eligible lines include the ecobee Smart Thermostat with voice control, Premium, and Enhanced models, along with the ecobee3 lite and Smart Thermostat Essential.
Google Nest
The Google Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd and 4th generation), the standard Google Nest Thermostat, and the Google Nest Thermostat E all qualify.
Honeywell Home
Eligible models span the T9 Smart Thermostat (with and without a room sensor), the T5 Gen2, the X2S, and both the black and white X8S Smart Thermostat.
Copeland Sensi
This covers the Sensi Touch Wi-Fi, Sensi Touch 2, the standard Sensi Smart Thermostat, and the Sensi Lite.
Mysa and Sinopé
Mysa's ST V1-0 qualifies, as do Sinopé's Smart Thermostat Lite, Pro Lite, and Pro models for central systems.
Not every model works with every furnace, boiler, or heat pump setup, so confirm compatibility with the manufacturer before purchasing.
How Do You Apply for the Enbridge Thermostat Rebate?
There are two paths to the rebate, and which one makes sense depends on whether you've already bought your thermostat.
Before You Buy: Instant Rebate
Request a discount code through the Home Renovation Savings site before you shop.
Once the code arrives by email, use it at checkout at The Home Depot, Best Buy, or directly through Copeland Sensi, ecobee, or Mysa, and the $100 comes off the purchase price on the spot.
After You Buy: Post-Purchase Rebate
Already bought an eligible thermostat? You can still apply for the $100 rebate by uploading a clear photo of your receipt within 60 days of purchase.
The receipt needs to show the purchase date, device model, retailer, and pre-tax cost.
How Can You Stack the Thermostat Rebate With Other HRS Savings?
Because the thermostat rebate now lives inside the broader Home Renovation Savings program, it's worth applying alongside other eligible upgrades rather than treating it as a one-off.
If you're adding battery storage, review the battery storage eligibility rules before applying, and anyone weighing solar as part of the same renovation can compare current solar installation costs to plan the budget. Combining a thermostat upgrade with solar or battery incentives in the same application year can meaningfully offset the total cost of an energy-resilience project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Enbridge Thermostat Rebate Available Outside Ontario?
No. The Home Renovation Savings program is specific to Ontario and is delivered jointly by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, which only operate within the province. If you're in another province, you'll need to check your local utility or provincial energy authority for equivalent smart thermostat incentives, since eligibility rules and rebate amounts vary significantly by region.
Can You Combine the Instant and Post-Purchase Rebate Options?
No. Each household can only claim one smart thermostat rebate total, so you need to choose either the instant discount code before buying or the post-purchase reimbursement after buying, not both. Applying through one path automatically disqualifies a second claim for the same household under current program rules.
What Happens if You Already Received a Free Smart Thermostat From Enbridge?
If you already received a smart thermostat, discount, or rebate from Enbridge Gas, Save on Energy, or the Home Renovation Savings program in the past, you're not eligible for another one. The program is designed as a one-time benefit per household, regardless of when the earlier device or discount was issued.
Smart Thermostats Pair With Home Battery Backup to Maximize Ontario Energy Savings
A $100 rebate covers a meaningful chunk of a smart thermostat's cost, but the real savings come from what the device does year-round: trimming the heating and cooling load that drives most Ontario energy bills.
If you want to go further, you can add backup power on top of that efficiency gain. A thermostat only manages consumption, but it won't keep your home running during an outage. If you're already planning a broader home energy upgrade, EcoFlow’s whole-home backup power solutions can carry your furnace, fridge, and other essentials through the next storm while your new thermostat keeps everyday usage in check.
