How to Claim Ontario Heat Pump Rebates in 2026
Ontario homeowners who install a qualifying heat pump in 2026 can claim up to $6,500 in government rebates. Here’s the complete breakdown of what’s available and how to claim every dollar.
1. Enbridge HER+ (Home Efficiency Rebate Plus)
The Enbridge HER+ program is the most significant rebate available for Ontario homeowners. Key details:
- Amount: Up to $5,000 for qualifying cold-climate heat pumps
- Who qualifies: Enbridge gas customers who replace a gas heating system with a qualifying heat pump
- Equipment requirements: Must be a cold-climate air-source heat pump (CCASHP) meeting specific efficiency ratings
- Pre-approval: A home energy assessment is required before installation
2. Canada Greener Homes Grant
- Amount: Up to $1,500 for heat pump installation
- Combined with Enbridge: Yes — these rebates stack
- Requirements: Pre and post energy audit required
How the Process Works
- Book a home energy assessment — required before any work begins
- Choose qualifying equipment — not all heat pumps qualify
- Get installation done by a registered contractor — HVAC Forever is fully registered
- Submit your rebate application — we help you with all paperwork
- Receive your rebate cheque — typically within 6–12 weeks
💡 Important: Rebate programs have limited funding and can close without notice. The sooner you act, the better your chances of securing the full rebate amount.
Real Example: What GTA Homeowners Are Saving
A typical GTA homeowner installing a Carrier Infinity cold-climate heat pump:
- System cost: $9,500 installed
- Enbridge HER+ rebate: -$5,000
- Greener Homes: -$1,500
- Net cost: $3,000 — less than a basic furnace!
