Ontario Heat Pump Rebates: What They Mean for You
If you’re an Ontario homeowner, there’s real money on the table for upgrading to a heat pump and improving your home’s efficiency. Here’s a plain-language look at the Home Renovation Savings program — and what it means once that new system is installed and running.
Heads up: rebate amounts, eligibility, and program rules change. The figures below were published by the program as of June 2026 — always confirm the current details on the official Save on Energy website before you plan around them. We’re a heating-element supplier, not a program administrator, and we’re not affiliated with Save on Energy, the IESO, or any utility.
What the program is
The Home Renovation Savings program is delivered by Save on Energy and supported by the Ontario government (through the IESO), with local utilities like Alectra helping promote it. It gives homeowners rebates on energy-efficient upgrades — single or bundled — so you can renovate at your own pace.
Rebates with no home energy assessment
Some upgrades qualify for a rebate without a home energy assessment:
- Cold-climate air-source heat pumps — up to $1,250/ton (up to $7,500)
- Ground-source heat pumps — up to $2,000/ton (up to $12,000)
- Solar panels and battery storage — up to $10,000
- Smart thermostats — up to $100
- Attic insulation — up to $1,250
Rebates that require an assessment
Other upgrades need a home energy assessment, and completing three or more can earn an extra $500 bonus:
- Heat pump water heaters — $500
- Windows and doors — $100 per rough opening
- Insulation (attic, wall, foundation, floor) — up to $7,700
- Air sealing — up to $250
Rebate values depend on your fuel source and other terms — see the official site for conditions.
What this means once your heat pump is in
A rebate gets the system installed — but a heat pump is a long-term appliance, and the electric auxiliary (backup) heating elements inside it do wear out, especially after years of hard Canadian winters. When that day comes, you don’t need a whole new system — just the right replacement element.
That’s where we come in. We supply and custom-build heat pump elements matched to your make and model and ship across Canada. If your backup heat ever runs weak or cold, send us your details and we’ll find the right part.
For HVAC contractors
If you install heat pumps, rebate programs like this drive a wave of new systems — and every one is a future service and parts customer. We offer bulk and contractor pricing on heat-strip and furnace elements so you have a single Canadian supplier for replacement parts as those installs age.
Bottom line: take the rebate, enjoy the efficient heat — and when the backup elements eventually wear out, keep the system going for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
