Clients trust us to get it done.
Professional service that aims to get you the best return for the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus. I couldn't be any happier to have used these guys, and I would recommend their services to whoever wants to upgrade their home!
Very responsive and organized. Adam went above and beyond the call of duty for us to help us out! Thank you!
We needed a full residential energy audit completed FAST to qualify for a major government rebate before the program deadline. Adam at Next Level Consulting jumped on it immediately — he rearranged his schedule, came out the same day, and worked evenings to get the paperwork submitted in time. Thanks to his report and hustle, we qualified for the maximum rebate and are already seeing lower bills…
It’s really amazing work done by NEXT LEVEL Consulting, I am fully satisfied with their product quality and work done, I highly recommend their services 🙏, after my windows and doors replaced I literally saved 30% of my electricity. Work done by professionals my house looks great and beautiful 🥰thank you team.
Next Level Consulting was amazing. Quick, thorough, knowledgeable, organized, detail oriented, excellent communication and compassionate about a tough situation. I'm not sure we would have gotten all the steps covered by another company. Thank you for helping us out when we really needed it!

Does my building have to report energy use?
Under Ontario's Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking (EWRB) rule, buildings of 50,000 sq ft and up report every July 1. Toronto buildings from 10,000 to 49,999 sq ft report first by July 2, 2027. Reporting rules.
QUESTIONS
Common questions
Do I need an energy assessment to get rebates?
For Home Renovation Savings bundle rebates (insulation, windows and doors, air sealing, heat pump water heaters), yes: an assessment plus two or more upgrades. Single upgrades such as a heat pump or smart thermostat don't need one. Toronto's HELP loan includes an assessment by a registered Energy Advisor.
Should I book before or after I renovate?
Before. The first assessment sets your starting EnerGuide rating, and a second one after the work confirms the upgrades. Talk to us before you sign a contractor's quote.
Can rebates be combined?
Often, yes. Provincial rebates can be paired with Toronto's HELP loan, and we'll check how new federal programs fit as their rules are confirmed.
I just bought a new home. Can I get money back on mortgage insurance?
Possibly. CMHC Eco Plus refunds 25% of your premium on a qualifying energy-efficient new home, and Sagen and Canada Guaranty offer the same.
Can you help me choose a contractor?
Yes. We help you get competitive quotes and compare them against your assessment report.
QUESTIONS
Common questions
What is the Performance Path?
Under Ontario's SB-12 energy efficiency requirements, builders can follow a prescriptive package of specified measures, or use the Performance Path, where energy modelling shows the whole home meets the target. The Performance Path often allows cheaper combinations of measures.
Do you do blower door testing?
Yes. We perform airtightness (blower door) testing and infrared thermography to confirm targets and find leaks and insulation gaps.
Do you design heating and cooling systems?
Yes. We do heat loss and gain calculations, duct and pipe sizing, forced-air and hydronic design, and ventilation design with energy recovery.
Can our buyers get a mortgage insurance refund?
Buyers of a qualifying energy-efficient new home may get 25% of their mortgage insurance premium back through CMHC Eco Plus, Sagen or Canada Guaranty. An EnerGuide rating showing the home uses at least 20% less energy than a typical new house is one way to qualify.
Which energy models do you use?
HOT2000 for houses and low-rise residential, and RETScreen for renewable energy and efficiency analysis.
