(705) 868-8246Up to $10,000 in Funding for Eligible Oil-Heated Homes
If your home is currently heated with oil and meets income eligibility requirements, you may qualify for up to $10,000 in upfront funding to switch to an all-electric cold-climate heat pump system. We provide complete turnkey oil-to-electric conversions, including coordination of safe tank removal and compliant heat pump installation.
What Is the OHPA Program?
The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHPA) is a federal initiative designed specifically to help eligible homeowners transition away from oil heating. The program provides upfront financial support toward the installation of a qualifying all-electric heat pump system. This program applies only to homes currently heated with oil.
What the Funding May Cover
Eligible homeowners may receive funding toward:
- Cold-climate air source heat pump equipment
- Professional installation
- Oil tank draining and removal (coordinated with licensed partners)
- Electrical panel upgrades (if required)
- Necessary ductwork modifications
Installed systems must meet program specifications and eligibility requirements.
Why Homeowners Are Switching from Oil
Oil heating is typically one of the highest-cost heating fuels in Ontario. Switching to a properly designed cold-climate heat pump system can provide:
- Lower long-term operating costs
- Elimination of fuel deliveries
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Removal of oil tank leak risk
- Reduced environmental impact
- Integrated high-efficiency summer cooling
Many homeowners experience significant annual savings compared to oil.
Will a Heat Pump Keep Me Warm?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are engineered for Canadian winters. When properly sized and installed, they are designed to meet the full heating demands of your home. Performance depends on the specific system selected and proper design calculations. We perform heat loss calculations to ensure your system is correctly matched to your home.
