Save More on Your Home Renovation: Ontario Rebates for Kitchener-Waterloo Homeowners
Home renovations can be a big investment, but homeowners in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge have access to provincial and federal programs that can make energy-efficient upgrades and multigenerational living spaces more affordable.
At Catalyst, we work with certified trades and follow proper standards so your renovations are built to the right specifications and designed to align with programs like the Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) and the Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (MHRTC).

Supporting Multigenerational Living
The Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (MHRTC) helps families create self-contained secondary units for seniors or adults with disabilities.
Catalyst helps homeowners design and build these spaces thoughtfully:
Every unit is built to code, with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom.
We coordinate with certified trades to ensure safety, accessibility, and efficiency.
By prioritizing quality construction and proper planning, your project is set up to meet the requirements for this tax credit.

***While we ensure your renovation is built to adequate specifications and is designed to align with these programs, your eligibility for rebates and tax credits is always determined by the official program administrators. We recommend you work with a certified energy auditor and/or a tax professional in tandem with your renovator to confirm your specificproject's eligibility.
