The City has collaborated with Toronto Hydro to provide free energy coaching services to help you navigate home upgrades with guidance on clean heating and cooling technologies, and access to qualified contractors, service providers and professionals.

 

Toronto City Council has adopted a bold strategy to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions in Toronto to net zero by 2040. It is one of the most ambitious targets in North America, and to reach net zero, more than 400,000 homes in Toronto must be renovated to be more energy efficient and to reduce fossil fuel use. The City is committed to providing support to help homeowners get to net zero.
