Ontario heat pump rebate questions
Eligibility, equipment requirements and application timing.
See official sourcesWhat is Canada’s new National Heat Pump Rebate?
Eligible heat pumps installed on or after November 1, 2026 may qualify for the National Heat Pump Rebate, with applications expected in early 2027. Canada has published income and equipment requirements: support may be $2,000 or up to $10,000, depending on household income, equipment costs and eligibility. Funding is not guaranteed until an application is approved.
How much can I get for a heat pump in Ontario?
Ontario amounts depend on the program, current heating fuel and proposed system. HRS has different schedules for eligible gas and non-gas homes. The federal rebate is separate: eligible installations starting November 1, 2026 may qualify for applications in early 2027. No federal amount or combined total is guaranteed by this website.
Do I need approval before the heat pump is installed?
For Home Renovation Savings, yes. Get the required approval before installation. Better Homes Ottawa also has steps that need to happen before the retrofit begins.
Can renters get help with a heat pump?
The Home Renovation Savings rebate is for homeowners. The Energy Affordability Program may be available to qualifying electrically heated renters.
Does every heat pump qualify for a rebate?
No. The exact system needs to meet the current program rules. Ask your contractor to confirm the system and expected rebate in writing before you rely on it.
Can AirZone help with the rebate in Ottawa?
Yes. AirZone can assess the home, recommend suitable heat-pump options and explain the current rebate process as part of an Ottawa-area installation quote.
Can the new federal heat pump rebate be combined with provincial rebates?
The National Heat Pump Rebate can be stacked with Ontario’s HRS rebate when the household and installation qualify for both, subject to eligible-cost limits. HRS permits eligible outside funding under its exclusions and supply-and-install cost cap. Final federal criteria and project-specific amounts still need confirmation; HRS contract steps and pre-installation approval remain required.
