Yes, you are right. The Enbridge website explains that certain attic insulation work can be completed by a registered Enbridge contractor without an Energy Audit, with a rebate of up to $1,250. The contractor must submit the rebate application to Enbridge on your behalf.
We are a registered Enbridge contractor #9 (L3R) and we have already completed three projects in April 2026 using this approach.
However, there are several reasons why we prefer to use a different approach with an Energy Auditor:
- Responsibility for the rebate: With the “up to $1,250” program, We are responsible for submitting the application and following up with Enbridge. We prefer not to take responsibility for the final rebate decision.
- The rebate is not guaranteed: “Up to $1,250” does not mean that you will receive $1,250. The final amount is determined by Enbridge. For example, Home Depot currently guarantees its customers $1,000, rather than $1,250.
- Our “Energy Auditor” approach is more beneficial for a customer: It can save you approximately $300–$700, while also being much less time-consuming for us because we do not have to prepare and submit all the paperwork through the special Enbridge portal and wait for their review and decision.
Most importantly, this Energy Auditor approach is still available and working. The Auditor is in charge of your rebate, not the contractor!.
Below, we have included a comparison of two quotes for a 1,000 sq. ft. attic:
- Option 1: “Up to $1,250” rebate program — with the actual rebate potentially being closer to $1,000.
- Option 2: Our “Energy Auditor” approach — with a potential $2,600–$2,800 rebate.
I believe this comparison will make the difference between the two approaches much clearer.
Let’s compare both options for the same 1,000 sq. ft. attic:
OPTION 1 — Up to $1,250 rebate without an Energy Audit
- R50 attic insulation + all required rebate paperwork: $1,690
• Expected rebate: $1,000
• Your final cost: $690
OPTION 2 — Energy Auditor approach
- Energy Audit: $800 + tax = $904
• R50 attic insulation: $1,696
• Total project cost: $2,600
• Rebate: $2,600
• Final cost after rebate: $0
So, with Option 2, you initially pay $2,600, but after receiving the $2,600 rebate, your final cost is $0.
We completely understand your concerns, and that's why we want you to have all the information before making a decision.
Many of our customers had the same questions and concerns before proceeding. After receiving their rebates, they were very satisfied with the explanation and the process. Some have even offered to share their experience directly with anyone who is still concerned—you are welcome to speak with them or, if they agree, even visit their homes.
If this information and these references are still not enough to make you comfortable, it can’t be helped. It simply means that we may not be the right company for you.
No pressure at all. I wish you all the best and good luck!
Below is a list of customers who received their rebates before September 23, 2026 and are willing to share their experience with you. We believe that hearing directly from customers who have already completed the process is the best way to make an informed decision.
