Dufferin County is launching a new $11.25 million program in early 2026 to help homeowners make their homes more energy efficient, comfortable and affordable.
This program is funded in part by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and Natural Resources Canada. Through its Green Municipal Fund’s Community Efficiency Financing (CEF) initiative, FCM provided BetterHomes Dufferin with $5 million in loans and a $2.5 million grant to support an innovative home energy retrofit project in the county.
BetterHomes Dufferin will provide low-interest loans of up to $40,000 for energy-efficient home upgrades such as insulation, new windows, heat pumps and more. Low-income households will be eligible for zero-interest loans of up to the same amount. Homeowners who heat with fuel oil or propane are especially encouraged to apply as they are expected to see the highest energy and cost savings.
