Ontario Heat Pump Rebate,
Explained

The amount depends on your current primary heating source. As of September 2026, the Home Renovation Savings program (homerenovationsavings.ca) lists $500 per ton of heating capacity, up to $2,000, for a cold-climate air-source heat pump in homes heated with natural gas, and $1,250 per ton, up to $7,500, in homes heated with electricity, oil, propane, or wood. For ground-source (geothermal) systems it lists $3,000 flat for gas-heated homes, or $2,000 per ton up to $12,000 for other fuels. Megacity offers in-house rebates — ask at your quote. We don't file government rebate paperwork for customers.

Ontario homeowners who own and primarily occupy a single-detached, semi-detached, row house, townhome, or mobile home on a permanent foundation. Gas-heated applicants must be active Enbridge Gas residential customers. Electric/oil/propane/wood-heated applicants must be connected to the Ontario electricity grid. New build homes occupied for six months or less do not qualify. The program lists lower caps for rental properties: up to $2,000 air-source or $3,000 ground-source. The program confirms eligibility when you apply.

Not for a government rebate. Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program covers cold-climate heat pumps, not furnaces. Megacity offers in-house rebates — ask at your quote. The Enbridge Sustain lease-to-own program is also available for furnace upgrades with $0 down and maintenance included.

According to the program, the participating contractor completes a post-installation application after the heat pump is installed, and once that application is approved the cheque should arrive by mail within 60 days.

No. The current Home Renovation Savings heat pump rebate does not require a pre or post-install EnerGuide audit when the heat pump is installed as a single upgrade. An assessment is only required if you bundle the heat pump with insulation, windows, or air sealing under a different program path.

Toronto homeowners can apply to the City's BetterHomesTO HELP low-interest loan, which is repaid through property tax. The Home Renovation Savings program also has separate streams for heat pump water heaters (through a home energy assessment) and smart thermostats. The federal Greener Homes Grant is closed. The federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program's direct intake closed July 31, 2026 in five provinces and territories, but Ontario participates: income-qualified Ontario homeowners heating with oil can apply through Save on Energy's Energy Affordability Program for a cold-climate heat pump at no cost.

Cold-climate air-source heat pumps listed on Natural Resources Canada's qualified products list. We can recommend qualifying systems from supported lines including Lennox, Fujitsu, Goodman, Daikin, and Mitsubishi. Eligibility depends on the exact matched indoor and outdoor equipment, so check the exact model against the program's list. Ground-source and water-source heat pumps have separate higher rebate tiers.

Toronto installations typically run $5,000 to $14,000 depending on system size and home complexity. The Home Renovation Savings heat pump rebate is offered only through the program's participating contractors, and Megacity is not currently registered with the program.
