EcoHome Complaints — What Ontario Homeowners Report

The complaints reported about EcoHome agreements follow a recognisable pattern — and many of those complaint categories map directly onto recognised grounds under Ontario's 2018 Consumer Protection Act amendments.

Complaints we hear most often about EcoHome

Salesperson arrived uninvited, sometimes claiming a connection to a government or utility programme
Pressure to sign on the spot, often with the equipment installed shortly thereafter
Promised rebates or energy savings that never appeared
Maintenance commitments that were never honoured
Discovery of a lien on title at refinance or sale
Difficulty cancelling and confusion over which entity holds the contract

What each complaint type means legally

The complaint patterns above map almost directly onto recognised grounds under Ontario's 2018 Consumer Protection Act amendments:

Door-to-door or unsolicited contact → unsolicited-contact ground (CPA regulation, March 2018 ban).
Promised energy savings that did not materialise → misrepresented energy savings (CPA s. 14).
Promised maintenance that was not delivered → unfulfilled maintenance (breach + s. 14).
Total cost grossly out of step with equipment value → unconscionable pricing (CPA s. 15-16).
Promised rebates that never paid → unfulfilled rebate promises (s. 14).
