Toronto Home Retrofit Coordination Program

Carbon emissions from single-family homes represent 17% of Toronto’s emissions. While homeowners increasingly understand the need to cut emissions, they face multiple barriers.

Toronto Home Energy Network is building a non-profit retrofit coordination service to help homeowners overcome barriers and to accelerate retrofits in single-family homes in Toronto, and eventually across the region. The coordination service will:

• Offer peer support, answers to technical questions, and access to lessons learned in completed retrofits
• Coordinate the retrofit support advice that homeowners require to make decisions
• Help homeowners navigate the design and procurement process, ensure quality control, and evaluate emissions reductions.

Project outputs: 

• Your First Heat Pump Guidebook
• Heat Pump Owner’s Manual
• Homeowner Toolkit
• Homeowner videos and case studies

A robust Community Toolkit was developed to support the launch and maintenance of partner community groups across the region.
