The province of Ontario offers thousands of dollars in rebates for energy-efficient home renovations and upgrades. Rebates offered by Green Ontario Fund which is part of the province’s Climate Change Action Plan. The goal is motivating the homeowners to hire the renovation services offered by companies such as WALLZCORP, since the older the house, the more the greenhouse gas emissions. In Ontario only, buildings generate 25% of greenhouse gas pollution. Hence, the benefits of upgrading your house are not only saving the money that leaks and fighting climate change but also taking advantage of such rebates and fundings.
At WALLZCORP, we provide reliable and cost-efficient green building solutions for homeowners in Toronto & GTA. Our professional trades will make houses comfortable and energy-efficient with the least possible inconvenience to the homeowners. Our trades are trained on the latest product information and installation methods and by the virtue of such expertise, we are able to assess our client’s needs, find problem areas, and propose an improvement plan for your house so that you can protect yourself against ever-rising energy costs.
Homeowners who live in a detached house, townhouse, condominium, or an apartment can make environmentally-friendly choices for their home improvements. This can range from installation of a new roof and be changing an old siding, to installation of high-performance windows and electric vehicle charging stations. By doing so, you will be able to not only save money and fight climate change but also take advantage of steep rebates offered by Green Ontario Fund and increase your home’s resale value.

Green Solutions for Businesses
If your business exceeds the province’s cap on greenhouse gas emission, you might end up facing harsh consequences such as buying allowances from the market or companies that have kept their emissions under control. That being said, fundings are available for businesses running the projects with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in their facilities or the production line. Technologies that reduce GHG pollution through more sustainable approaches and involve innovative uses of carbon dioxide or try to reduce carbon emissions (Near Zero) can benefit from fundings up to $20M. If you own a business and have a question on how you can save on your renovation and take advantage of these fundings, call WALLZCORP at 1-416-640-2411.
