What rebates are available for HVAC upgrades in Ontario

Ontario offers several rebates for HVAC upgrades, with the main programs being the Canada Greener Homes Grant and Enbridge Gas rebates. These can significantly reduce your upfront costs for high-efficiency equipment.

The Canada Greener Homes Grant provides up to $5,000 for eligible HVAC upgrades. You'll need pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluations (about $600 total), but the rebates often exceed this cost. Eligible upgrades include high-efficiency furnaces (90%+ AFUE), air source heat pumps, and smart thermostats. Heat pumps qualify for the largest rebates - up to $5,000 for air source heat pumps that can handle Ottawa's cold winters.

Enbridge Gas customers can access additional rebates through their Home Efficiency Rebate program. These include rebates for high-efficiency furnaces, programmable thermostats, and insulation upgrades that complement your HVAC system. The rebates stack with federal programs, maximizing your savings.

Ottawa-specific considerations include ensuring your contractor is familiar with the rebate application process and required documentation. The equipment must meet specific efficiency ratings, and installation must be done by licensed professionals. For gas appliances, this means TSSA-licensed technicians are required.

Important timing note: Apply for rebates before starting work, as most programs require pre-approval. Keep all receipts and ensure your contractor provides the necessary technical specifications and proof of proper installation.
