About this programme
About this programme in Orillia
HES helps Orillia homeowners figure out whether they're a fit for an approved retrofit programme and walks them through qualification. HES does not install anything; all work in Orillia is performed by approved programme contractors.
If you'd like the full overview of how the broader programme works, our How It Works section walks through every step, and our FAQ answers the most common questions from homeowners.
Common upgrades
Common upgrades in Orillia homes
Programmes vary, and not every home receives every upgrade. These are the retrofits we most often see help Orillia homeowners lower their energy costs.
Insulation
A high-impact upgrade for many Orillia homes — particularly older ones with original attic and wall insulation.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling efficiently, which suits a lot of Orillia homes.
High-Efficiency Heating
Modern furnaces and boilers turn far more of their fuel into usable heat — useful in Orillia's climate.

Efficient hot water systems trim a meaningful share of monthly energy use for most Orillia households.
