Furnace and boiler rebates in Canada
Every province and territory has at least one way to pay for a new furnace or boiler: 35 current programs. Homeowners can stack the most in the Northwest Territories ($30,000), Yukon ($15,000) and Newfoundland and Labrador ($5,000) today. Pick your province for the rates that fit your home.
Most new heating rebates in Canada now favour heat pumps, but some gas utilities still offer incentives for high-efficiency furnaces and boilers, and oil-heated homes often get the biggest fuel-switching grants. Compare your options here before replacing a failing system.

Replacing a furnace or boiler
General advice. Each program’s own rules come first.
- Price a heat pump option too
- Most new rebates favour heat pumps or hybrid systems over a straight furnace swap. Ask for both quotes.
- Look for high-efficiency ratings
- Where furnace or boiler incentives exist, they usually require a high AFUE rating and a listed model.
- Check fuel-switching rules
- Some programs pay more for switching away from oil or propane. Note your current fuel on every application.
