Home Energy Retrofits in Kingston
Kingston's limestone heritage homes and lakeside neighbourhoods come with real charm — and real heating bills. HES helps Kingston homeowners qualify for approved cost-neutral retrofit programmes so upgrading a home doesn't have to mean paying out of pocket.
About this programme
About this programme in Kingston
Across Kingston and the surrounding area, HES helps homeowners figure out whether their property fits an approved retrofit programme and walks them through the qualification process. HES is not a contractor; all installation work is carried out by programme-approved 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 Kingston homes
Programmes vary, and not every home receives every upgrade. These are the retrofits we most often see help Kingston homeowners lower their energy costs.
Insulation
Kingston's older limestone and brick homes often see big comfort gains from attic and basement insulation.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling efficiently, which suits a lot of Kingston homes.
High-Efficiency Heating
Modern furnaces and boilers turn far more of their fuel into usable heat — useful in Kingston's climate.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats fine-tune when and how your Kingston 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 Kingston households.

Who this is for
Who this is for in Kingston
Many of the Kingston homeowners we work with own older houses, sometimes well over a century old, with original windows, limited insulation and aging heating systems. If your utility bills have crept up and you'd rather not finance major upgrades on your own, it's worth checking your eligibility.
There's no cost to find out, and no obligation either way. If a programme isn't a fit, we'll tell you plainly.
