Ontario Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives in 2026
A heat pump is one of the smartest upgrades an Ontario homeowner can make in 2026 — lower heating bills, cooling in summer, and a smaller carbon footprint. The good news: provincial rebates can take thousands of dollars off the cost. The confusing part: programs keep changing. This guide breaks down exactly what’s available right now.
UPDATE — October 2026: Ottawa has announced a new federal heat pump rebate — the National Heat Pump Rebate — offering up to $10,000 for eligible households (launching early 2027). Read our full federal heat pump rebate guide.
Program details change. Rebate amounts below reflect published 2026 program terms — always confirm current terms on the official program sites before applying.
Ontario Home Renovation Savings Program (HRS) — the Main Rebate
The Home Renovation Savings Program, delivered through Save on Energy and Enbridge, is the main heat pump rebate for Ontario homeowners in 2026. No home energy audit is required.
- Air-source cold-climate heat pump: $500 per ton (up to $2,000) for natural-gas-heated homes; $1,250 per ton (up to $7,500) for homes heated by electricity, oil, propane, or wood.
- Ground-source heat pump: $3,000 flat for gas-heated homes; $2,000 per ton (up to $12,000) for non-gas homes.
- Heat pump water heater: $500–$1,000.
Cold-climate heat pumps — the kind that keep working through a Toronto winter — are exactly what this program is designed to support. See our heat pump installation options.
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) — Status Update
The federal OHPA direct intake closed on July 31, 2026 and is no longer accepting new applications. However, Ontario’s co-delivery stream through Save on Energy’s Energy Affordability Program still offers a no-cost path for income-qualified homes heated by oil or electricity. If you heat with oil, check your eligibility under the provincial stream before assuming the door is closed.
Enbridge HER+ — Closed
The Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program closed on December 31, 2025. If you started an HER+ application before the closure, follow up on its status — otherwise, the Home Renovation Savings Program above is the current rebate path.
Toronto HELP — Low-Interest Financing
Not a rebate, but worth knowing: the City of Toronto’s Home Energy Loan Program (HELP) offers up to $125,000 at 2–3% interest, repaid through your property tax bill. It’s a popular way to finance a heat pump plus insulation or windows in one project.
Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program
A new federal affordability program is rolling out in 2026. Details are still being published — we’ll update this guide as official terms are confirmed.

Heat Pump Rebate FAQs
How much can I actually get back?
Through the Home Renovation Savings Program, most air-source installations qualify for $500–$7,500 depending on your current heating fuel, and ground-source systems can reach $12,000 for non-gas homes.
Do I need an energy audit first?
No — unlike older programs, the Home Renovation Savings Program does not require a home energy audit.
Can I combine rebates with Toronto HELP financing?
Often yes — many homeowners use HELP financing to cover the upfront cost and apply rebates to reduce the total. We’ll help you plan the combination.
Is the federal oil-to-heat-pump program still open?
The federal direct intake closed July 31, 2026. Ontario’s co-delivery stream for income-qualified oil/electric homes is the remaining path — contact us and we’ll help you check eligibility.
Do heat pumps work in Toronto winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to heat efficiently well below freezing — they’re the exact equipment the rebate programs are built around.
