If you’re considering upgrading your HVAC system, there’s never been a better time. Ontario homeowners can now receive up to $7,500 in rebates when they install a qualifying cold climate heat pump—a highly energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems.
In this guide, we’ll explain who qualifies, how the rebate works, and why a heat pump could be the smartest investment you make this year.
What Is the Ontario Heat Pump Rebate?
The Canada Greener Homes Grant, administered through the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program, provides rebates of up to $7,500 for installing an eligible cold climate air-source heat pump.
This program is supported by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Enbridge Gas in Ontario. The goal is to help homeowners reduce energy use, lower utility bills, and cut carbon emissions.
How Much Can You Get?
The rebate amount depends on the type of heat pump you install. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Type of Heat Pump | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Cold Climate Air-Source Heat Pump | Up to $5,000 |
| Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pump | Up to $5,000 |
| Additional Bonus via Enbridge Customers | Up to $2,500 |
| Total Possible Rebate | Up to $7,500 |
Who Is Eligible?
To qualify for the heat pump rebate in Ontario, you must:
- Be the primary homeowner and live in the property.
- Complete a pre-retrofit energy assessment by a certified energy advisor.
- Install a qualified cold climate heat pump from the approved NRCan list.
- Complete a post-retrofit energy audit after installation.
- For the Enbridge bonus, your home must be heated with natural gas and be in Enbridge’s service area.
Important: The equipment must be installed by a licensed contractor. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, Furnace & AC Experts meets all the required installation standards.
What Is a Cold Climate Heat Pump?
A cold climate heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling system that works efficiently even during harsh Canadian winters. It uses electricity to transfer heat instead of generating it—saving up to 40–60% on energy use compared to traditional systems.
In summer, it works like a high-efficiency air conditioner. In winter, it pulls heat from the outside air—even in temperatures as low as -25°C—and brings it into your home.
Carrier’s cold climate heat pumps are specially engineered for Canadian weather and meet all NRCan rebate qualifications.
