How much can you get? Heat pump rebates by province

What a homeowner can stack for an air-source heat pump in each province and territory, before any income test, counting only programs open today. Each amount names the program and the rebate it comes from. Announced programs that aren't open yet are shown as an extra amount when they open, never in the total. Loans and city-only programs are left out. These are program maximums: what you get depends on your home, the equipment and each program's rules.

How the calculator works

  1. 1

    Matches your province and city

    Federal programs apply everywhere. Provincial, utility and city programs only where you live. Add your city and the results include its programs too.

  2. 2

    Applies the rate that fits your home

    Heating fuel, tenure and income change which tier you get. We use the one that fits, not the biggest. Until you tell us your fuel, each program shows its best rate, labelled with the home it's for.

  3. 3

    Adds only what stacks

    Rebates from programs open today go in the total. Announced programs that aren't open yet are shown as an extra amount when they open. Loans and city-only programs are listed, never added.

Each amount is the program's own maximum for the upgrade you picked, taken from the official program page. Some programs pay by size, such as a rate per ton of heating capacity. When a rate has no cap, we show the rate or “Varies”, never a guess. When two tiers of the same program can't both apply, we count one.

Your real rebate depends on the equipment, the installer's quote and each program's rules, and only the program decides who qualifies. Read our methodology for the full rules, including how we check sources and correct errors.

Worked example: a heat pump in Ontario

Say you own a house in Ontario and plan a cold-climate air-source heat pump. Two answers, Ontario and heat pumps, give you $7,500 from programs open today, plus $2,000 from the National Heat Pump Rebate when it opens. The first figure is the best rate of the Home Renovation Savings Program. That program pays less for some homes, so your heating fuel changes the answer:

Home Renovation Savings Program rates for an air-source heat pump in Ontario
Your homeOpen nowOnce the federal rebate opens
Home heated by electricity, oil, propane or woodHRSP: $1,250 per ton, up to $7,500$7,500$9,500
Home heated by Enbridge natural gasHRSP: $500 per ton, up to $2,000$2,000$4,000
Rented equipment, any heating fuelHRSP: $500 per ton, up to $2,000$2,000$4,000

The rate is the program's own wording: a smaller system can get less than the cap. If your income qualifies, the National Heat Pump Rebate rises to up to $10,000 once it opens.

Ontario also has 7 city retrofit loans, including in Toronto and Ottawa. Add your city and your results list the one that applies, but a loan is never added to your total because you pay it back.

Questions about the calculator

It depends on your province, your heating fuel and your income. Before any income test, programs open today add up to $7,500 in Ontario, $14,000 in Québec and $5,000 in British Columbia, and up to $25,500 in Yukon, the most in any province or territory. In 6 provinces and territories, no open program has a set amount we can add yet. The National Heat Pump Rebate is announced but not open: it will add $2,000 when it opens, or up to $10,000 if your income qualifies.

Pick your province and the upgrades you're planning, and you see a total. Add how you heat your home, your city and whether your income is below your province's median to sharpen it. We match your answers against every program we track, apply the rate that fits your home, and add up the federal, provincial, utility and city rebates that stack. Loans and programs limited to certain cities are listed separately and never added to your total.

Often, yes. Federal, provincial, utility and municipal programs are usually designed to stack, but some can't be combined for the same piece of equipment, and some cap combined rebates at a share of your cost. Open any program in your results to see its stacking rules, and read our methodology for how we calculate totals.

Several programs pay different amounts depending on the fuel you switch from. Homes heated with oil, propane, wood or electric baseboards often qualify for the highest heat pump rebates, while gas-heated homes get lower rates. Your answer lets us show the right rate instead of the largest one.

Not yet. The National Heat Pump Rebate is announced but not open. It will pay $2,000 toward an eligible cold-climate air-source heat pump, or up to $10,000 if your income qualifies. The calculator shows it as an extra amount when it opens and never adds it to your open total. If you're counting on it, check its program page before you buy.

Often. Some programs pay more, or cover the whole upgrade, for households under an income limit. Limits depend on household size and are often higher than people expect. If anyone in your home gets GIS, disability or social assistance, you may well qualify; each program checks your income itself.

Some programs require a pre-retrofit energy assessment before you start any work, and doing the work first can disqualify you. When a program in your results needs one, we flag it at the top of your results.

No. RebateHub is an independent guide. We don't process applications, and you never need to pay anyone to apply for a government rebate. Every program links to its official page so you can confirm details before you buy or install.

With your permission, we pass your request to up to 3 independent installers who serve your area and, where a program has a contractor list, that we've checked are on it. They contact you to quote the job. Each installer pays RebateHub a fee for the request; that never changes the program information we show. Read our privacy policy.
