Program, eligibility and manufacturer sources
We prioritize official program administrators and government eligibility lists. Manufacturer pages are used to describe equipment, not to prove that a specific matched system qualifies for a rebate.
The source register below is intentionally curated. Individual AirZone product pages remain linked from the equipment guide, but they do not need to be repeated here as separate evidence for every model.
How we use sources: program rules come from program administrators; heat-pump eligibility is checked against the program-required NRCan list; manufacturer pages are used for product characteristics only. A manufacturer page by itself does not prove rebate eligibility.
Official program sources
Home Renovation Savings — heat pumps
Public heat-pump offer, rate categories, property and utility conditions, and application route.
HRS heat-pump stream requirements (PDF)
Linked administrator document; version printed May 2025. Matched-system, sizing, exclusions, funding and submission rules.
HRS official help and support
Official support entry point and heat-pump FAQ section checked for the revised guidance. Separate upgrade sections and older program references appear on this page; use the terms applicable to your stream and file.
HRS official participating heat-pump contractor directory
Official directory entry point opened. The interactive contractor list was not independently audited; no AirZone participation or individual listing is certified by this resource. Program participation is not an administrator endorsement.
Energy Affordability Program
Current program routes, comprehensive-support income table and alternative eligibility routes.
EAP air-source heat pumps
Directly arranged heat-pump support for qualifying electric- and oil-heated households.
EAP eligibility and heat-pump FAQs
Cornwall Electric exclusion; electric renter and oil ownership/tank distinctions; authorized delivery partners.
Better Homes Ottawa Loan Program
Loan intake and terms are published. The heat-pump incentive figures differ from the linked incentive form; no personalized incentive amount is shown here.
Equipment eligibility & verification
Eligible products for home retrofits — heat pumps
Home Renovation Savings requires an active heat-pump model on NRCan’s qualified products list. Search by the exact matched system or AHRI information rather than by brand alone.

Public heat-pump offer, rate categories, property and utility conditions, and application route.
Manufacturer references
Lennox EL18KSLV product information
Manufacturer describes slim cabinet and variable-capacity operation. Regional offers are not Ontario rebate evidence.
RD17AZ Endeavor side-discharge heat pump
Manufacturer reference for current RD17AZ product characteristics. Manufacturer information does not by itself establish HRS eligibility.
ZUBA Central and whole-home heat-pump solutions
Manufacturer reference for ZUBA Central and cold-climate whole-home system characteristics. Exact rebate eligibility depends on the matched system.
Infinity 27VNA1 Ultimate Cold Climate heat pump
Independent manufacturer reference outside AirZone’s current catalogue. Carrier identifies the 27VNA1 as a current cold-climate, ENERGY STAR-certified model; HRS eligibility still requires the exact matched system to appear on NRCan’s active list.
Closed federal programs
Canada Greener Homes Grant closure notice
Accessible NRCan-hosted notice, dated January 22, 2026. Confirms closure; not treated as verification of later existing-participant deadlines.
Canada Greener Homes Loan closure
New applications closed October 2, 2025. Existing participants should use their administrator correspondence.
When something is unclear
If official sources disagree or a detail cannot be confirmed, we flag it instead of guessing. That is currently the case for the separate Better Homes Ottawa heat-pump incentive amount.
For equipment, the exact system proposed for a home still needs to be checked against the applicable program before a homeowner relies on a rebate.
