In the wake of recent Federal Government announcements, the Ontario Government has made a commitment to continued support for their portion of the ecoENERGY granting program, now called the Ontario Home Energy Savings Program.

You can still get a little help from the government in making your home more comfortable and more energy efficient. Homesol can helping you achieve your energy savings and comfort goals. You can book a consultation with Homesol today.

Homesol Building Solutions has been around a long time in one form or another, but our goal of healthy, comfortable and sustainable buildings has always remained at the forefront of our business. Today, Homesol is one of Ontario’s leading providers of environmental and energy efficient building consulting services for residential new construction and renovation.

The Government of Canada has closed the ecoENERGY for Homes program to new entries. The Government of Ontario is thinking about theirs.

Does that mean that homeowners cannot pursue the dream of warmer, tighter, more comfortable houses? Of lower heating and cooling bills? Of course not! It does mean that homeowners are once again assuming responsibility for their own energy efficiency. Without the support of their governments.

If you are still interested in pursuing a home evaluation for your own comfort, in chasing down that mystery air leak, in having an infra-red expert analyze your home's exterior heat loss patterns, we're here for you.

Homesol is a diversified energy-efficiency business that is not solely dependent upon a single government program. We remain available to you to meet your home energy efficiency needs. You can still book a consultation with Homesol today.
