Question of the Day
How much does a DIY kitchen cost?
It depends most on kitchen size, door style and finish, box construction and hardware, with countertops and appliances on top. The biggest DIY saving is doing the install yourself, often a large share of a professionally-quoted kitchen.

Ontario home solar and battery storage: up to $5,000 back on each
DeadlineNo end date posted
Home Renovation Savings pays $1,000 per kW, up to $5,000, for home solar panels and $300 per kWh, up to $5,000, for battery storage, each capped at 50% of total costs. The battery must be paired with a new solar system. You must be 18 or older, own the home and be connected to the Ontario grid; eligible homes are detached, semi-detached, row houses, townhomes and mobile homes on a permanent foundation.
