Improve your home. Let the government help pay for it.

As of October 25, 2026, RebateHub tracks 133 open home energy programs in Canada (federal, provincial, territorial, utility and municipal), plus 2 announced but not open yet. Most of the money now comes from provincial and utility programs, because the federal Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed.

The largest typical heat pump rebates open today: Yukon up to $15,000, Newfoundland and Labrador up to $9,000, Ontario up to $7,500. Federally, the National Heat Pump Rebate ($2,000, or up to $10,000 for households below the median income) is announced but not open yet. The Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program offers no-cost upgrades to lower-income households through partner programs in some provinces.

Often, yes. Federal, provincial, utility and city programs are usually designed to work together, so one heat pump or insulation job can draw on several of them.

There are limits: some programs reduce their payment by what you get elsewhere, some cap the combined total at the cost of the work, and some programs run by the same province or utility can't both pay for the same upgrade. RebateHub totals only add programs whose official pages say they combine, and each program page lists what it stacks with.

It depends on the program. Of the 133 open programs RebateHub tracks, 42 require an energy assessment (often an EnerGuide evaluation before and after the work) and 78 do not; for the rest it depends on the upgrade or isn't stated.

For example, Ontario's Home Renovation Savings Program pays for a heat pump without an assessment, but the rebates on its assessment track, such as windows and air sealing, need one. If a program requires a pre-retrofit evaluation and you skip it, you usually can't qualify afterwards, so check before you sign a contract.

Sometimes. Many programs require pre-approval or registration before work starts and won't pay for jobs finished earlier. Others accept applications for a set period after installation.

Keep your invoices, proof of payment and the equipment model numbers. For programs that are announced but not open yet, don't assume past installs will qualify until the rules are published.

For most homeowners improving the home they live in, energy-efficiency rebates and grants aren't treated as taxable income. For rental or business property, government assistance generally reduces the cost you can deduct or depreciate.

Tax credits work differently: you claim them on your return. Confirm your situation with the Canada Revenue Agency or a tax professional.

Most rebates for heating systems, insulation and windows are paid to the property owner, so your landlord usually has to apply. Some income-qualified programs offer free upgrades to renters with the owner's permission, and smaller rebates such as smart thermostat or appliance programs are sometimes open to tenants.

No. RebateHub is an independent, privately owned website. We are not affiliated with any government or utility and we don't process applications. You never need to pay anyone to apply for a government rebate.

RebateHub is free for homeowners. Some installers pay us for referrals and for placements labelled "Sponsored"; program facts and amounts are never for sale. Every program shows the date we last checked it against the official source, and we re-check each one at least every 30 days (data last updated October 25, 2026).
