It comes as no surprise that the Ontario Government has suspended the home energy rebates. They claim that they need to evaluate the process by which they will continue to support the program which has been halted at the Federal level. Home inspection companies are no longer booking energy audits. If you still have not had an exit inspection you may still be in line for ecoEnergy grants, but pay close attention to the Federal program disclaimers, if the program still has funds available and the work and the final inspection are completed prior to March 31, 2011. This is a direct call to action for consumers. The HST comes into effect on July 1, 2010 and the cost of doing business will be affected. Oil is still going up in price, so the longer you put off upgrading your home with high efficiency windows and doors, the more you are going to pay for these items. The good news is that there are paybacks with lowered energy costs and increased value in your home.
