30%refundable federal credit on commercial solar, storage and heat pumps — what qualifies
Home  /  HOW WE WORK

One Contract. The Same Crews.

We design the system, select and procure the equipment, and manage the installation to commissioning. You sign one contract and hold one party accountable for the result.

The delivery model, stated plainly

Eneris carries the design, the equipment selection, the procurement, the filing and the project management. The physical installation is performed under contract by licensed trades affiliated with us — the same crews, project after project.

We say this openly because the alternative — implying that every trade on site is an employee — is how contractors mislead clients about capacity. What matters to you is not the employment arrangement. It is whether one party is accountable when something goes wrong, whether the crews are licensed, and whether they are the same people next time. All three are yes.

What that means in practice

  • Grid-tied electrical work is installed and filed by an ESA-licensed Electrical Contractor.
  • Work on gas-fired equipment is carried out by TSSA-registered technicians.
  • Ground loops are designed to CSA/ANSI/IGSHPA C448.
  • One project manager owns your schedule and answers the phone.

The five stages

Project sequence
StageTypical durationWhat happens
Assess1–2 weeksSite visit, load and consumption review, electrical capacity check, incentive position established
Design2–4 weeksEquipment selection, layout, loop design where applicable, fixed-price proposal
FileRuns in parallelBuilding permit, ESA Notification of Work, net metering application, incentive pre-approval
InstallScheduled to equipment lead timeLicensed trades under our contract, one project manager
Commission & claimOn completionCommissioning, inspection sign-off, documentation for the incentive and the credit

On most commercial projects the binding constraint is equipment lead time or the distribution company's connection process — not labour. A programme that does not name those two items has not been thought through.

Financing

Financing is available on qualifying projects. On commercial work the structure matters more than the rate, because the refundable federal credit arrives as cash after the in-service date — which changes what the project actually needs to carry and for how long. We will set that out alongside the proposal rather than leaving you to discover it.

Where we work

Our own crews work across Ontario.

If your building is elsewhere in Canada, tell us anyway. We deliver through affiliated contractors in other provinces, and we would rather look at the project and give you an honest answer — including "not us" — than have you assume we cannot help.

What we will not do

  • Quote a payback calculated on your blended rate per kilowatt-hour when net metering only offsets the commodity portion.
  • Put a 30% credit line in a proposal for an owner who cannot claim it.
  • Size a ground loop on an assumed conductivity for a project that warrants a test.
  • Promise a rebate we have not verified is open and available to your project.

Common questions

Are your installers employees or subcontractors?

The installation crews are licensed trades working under contract to us, and they are the same crews across projects. Eneris holds the contract with you and remains accountable for the work.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, on qualifying projects. On commercial work we will also show you how the refundable federal credit affects what the project needs to carry, because that usually matters more than the rate.

Do you work outside Ontario?

Our own crews work across Ontario. For projects elsewhere in Canada we deliver through affiliated contractors — send us the details and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right party.
