Heat Pump Rebate Programs in Ontario
There are three main programs Ontario homeowners can use to offset the cost of a heat pump installation. The best part: they can be stacked together for maximum savings.
Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus
StackableAvailable to Enbridge Gas customers who install a qualifying cold-climate air source heat pump. The rebate amount depends on the system type and efficiency rating. Heat pumps must meet or exceed minimum performance requirements.
Canada Greener Homes Grant
StackableFederal grant for homeowners who switch to a qualifying heat pump system. Requires a pre-retrofit EnerGuide home energy assessment and a post-retrofit assessment to confirm the installation. The $5,000 maximum applies to cold-climate air source heat pumps.
BetterHomesTO
StackableToronto homeowners can access a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing program that provides low-interest or interest-free loans for energy-efficient home improvements including heat pump installations. Repayment is tied to your property tax bill over 10-20 years.
What Types of Heat Pumps Qualify?
Not all heat pump systems qualify for the same rebate amounts. Cold-climate models earn the highest combined rebates because the government incentivizes systems that can handle Canadian winters without backup electric heating.
Cold-Climate Air Source Heat Pump (ccASHP)
Highest rebates. Must be rated for operation at -25C or below. Most popular choice for Toronto.
Standard Air Source Heat Pump
Good for moderate climates. May need backup heating for extreme Toronto cold snaps.
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump
Ideal for homes without ductwork or for targeted zone heating/cooling. Multiple indoor heads available.
Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pump
Most efficient option but highest upfront cost. Best for new builds or major renovations.
