Home Energy Retrofits in Barrie
Barrie's lake-effect winters and large stock of detached homes — many from the city's growth surge in the 1990s and 2000s — make it a strong area for retrofits. HES helps Barrie homeowners qualify for approved cost-neutral retrofit programmes, with no upfront cost.
About this programme
About this programme in Barrie
Across Barrie and the surrounding area, HES helps homeowners determine whether they fit an approved retrofit programme and handles the qualification process. HES is not a contractor; installation in Barrie is done 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 Barrie homes
Programmes vary, and not every home receives every upgrade. These are the retrofits we most often see help Barrie homeowners lower their energy costs.
Insulation

Heat Pumps
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling efficiently, which suits a lot of Barrie homes.
High-Efficiency Heating
Modern furnaces and boilers turn far more of their fuel into usable heat — useful in Barrie's climate.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats fine-tune when and how your Barrie home is heated and cooled, without changing your habits.
Hot Water Systems
Efficient hot water systems trim a meaningful share of monthly energy use for most Barrie households.
