Upgrading your home’s heating and cooling system is a big investment, but you don’t have to shoulder the cost alone. Lucrative heat pump rebates are available when upgrading to a new, high-efficiency system.
At Kawartha Eco Climate Control, we not only install your new equipment but also help you access the best incentives available. From hybrid dual fuel to All-Electric Cold Climate Heat Pumps, here are some key government programs available to Ontario homeowners:
Supported by Enbridge Gas, Save on Energy, and the Ontario Government, this program offers rebates designed to make energy-efficient home improvements more accessible. This is your primary path to a high-efficiency upgrade.
Homeowners can receive savings on various upgrades such as:
- Cold-climate air-source heat pumps (rebates up to $7,500)
- Ground-source heat pumps (rebates up to $12,000)
- Insulation & Air Sealing
- Windows/Doors
- Heat Pump Water Heaters
- Smart Thermostats
Important: You generally cannot apply for two separate rebate programs for the same heat pump installation. (e.g., OHPA and Home Renovation Savings). We will assist you in selecting the best rebate program according to your home and eligibility. (Rebates vary by eligibility and upgrade type.)
Depending on the upgrades chosen, a home energy assessment may be necessary to qualify. This program is the perfect way to reduce your future energy bills and greatly enhance your comfort this winter.
Still relying on expensive oil deliveries to heat your rural home or cottage? If you currently rely on oil for your home’s heating and your household meets the median after-tax income requirements, you can qualify for substantial funding to help you make the switch to a more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly heat pump. Eligible households can qualify for up to $10,000 in upfront funding.
This grant helps cover the cost of:
- Purchasing and installing a new qualifying cold-climate heat pump system.
- Necessary electrical panel or mechanical upgrades for your home.
- The safe removal of your old oil tank.
- Ductwork upgrades or installations.
A major advantage of the OHPA program is that you can combine this funding with other available rebates at either the federal or provincial levels, making Oil to Heat Pump Conversion highly affordable.

OHPA is a federal program specifically designed for households currently heating with oil that meet specific income brackets. The Home Renovation Savings Program (supported by Enbridge and Save on Energy) is a provincial initiative available to a broader range of homeowners for various energy upgrades, regardless of your current heating fuel.
Yes! Many multi-zone ductless mini-split systems can qualify for rebates if they meet the strict efficiency and cold climate requirements set by the program.
Yes, hybrid dual-fuel systems can qualify, particularly for the Home Renovation Savings Program, as long as the heat pump component meets the required SEER and HSPF efficiency standards.
This can vary depending on the program. OHPA provides upfront funding, which can take several weeks to process before the project is installed. Home Renovation Savings rebates are typically mailed 10 to 12 weeks after your post-renovation energy audit is submitted and approved.
We typically need to know your current primary heating fuel type (oil, gas, propane, or electric), your home's age, and your approximate household income bracket.
