How to Apply For Heat Pump Grants & Rebates
How to Apply: Heat Pump Grants & Rebates
Heat pumps offer a 2-in-1 home comfort solution, helping you stay cool through the summer and warm through the winter – all while saving big on energy costs and reducing your carbon footprint. And right now, installing a heat pump is more affordable than ever!
The Canadian Government and Enbridge Gas are working together to offer eligible Canadians heat pump grants and rebates to upgrade their home’s HVAC to a more energy-efficient system. You can save money on the installation of a heat pump in your home with these Ontario heat pump rebates.
Canada Greener Homes Grant
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is an initiative that can help Canadians cut down their energy costs and environmental footprint. The grant is for homeowners looking to make their homes more energy efficient. Eligible Canadians can receive up to $6,500 on qualifying heat pump and furnace/air handler combinations, and also get back the $600 that was paid for an EnerGuide home evaluation.
Through the grant application, you can also apply for a no-interest loan of up to $40,000 with a repayment term of 10 years. This loan can be used for bigger home improvements to make your house more energy efficient. This includes the installation of an ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump and other eligible upgrades.
Eligibility Requirements
The eligibility requirements for the Greener Homes Grant include:
- An applicant that owns the house for which they are applying.
- Apply for a property that is the owner’s primary residence or their rental property.
- Provide proof that the property is their primary residence or rental property.
Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) Program
Enbridge Gas has joined forces with the federal government to offer Ontario heat pump rebates. Through the Enbridge HER+ program you can apply for the Canada Greener Homes Grant, the Greener Homes Loan, and the enhanced Enbridge rebates in one quick and easy application.
Through the HER+ Program, eligible Ontarians can receive the Greener Homes Grant, up to $6,500 for the installation of qualifying ENERGY STAR® certified space heat pumps, or up to $7,800 on ENERGY STAR® certified hot water heat pumps. It is the same evaluation process as the Greener Homes Program, run through the government, so customers would get back the $600 fee for the required EnerGuide evaluation.
Eligibility Requirements
The eligibility requirements for the Enbridge Gas heat pump rebates include:
- Must be an Enbridge Gas customer, or making the switch to Enbridge Gas.
- Must apply for the property that is the applicant’s primary residence or rental property.
Eligible Improvements
These grants and rebates can help you pay for:
- Ground source heat pump installation
- Air source heat pump installation
- Cold climate air source heat pump installation
- Hybrid heating system (i.e furnace + heat pump) installation
- Ductless or ducted heat pump installation
- Heat pump water heater installation
Eligible Properties
Properties that qualify for the HER+ program include:
- Single and semi-detached homes
- Row housing
- Townhomes
- Mobile homes on a permanent foundation
- Permanently moored floating homes
- Mixed-use residential buildings (must be at least 50% residential)
- Low-rise multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) (three storeys or less with a footprint of 600 m2 or less).
Homes that do not qualify for the HER+ program include:
- Homes not space-heated by Enbridge Gas, where the owner is not the primary resident (rental units).
- Multi-unit residential buildings (MURB) with more than 3 storeys or larger than 600 m2.
- Homes built less than 6 months ago.
- Mixed use buildings where less than 50 percent of the building is residential living space.
- Homes that have already gone through the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) or Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG) programs and maxed out their incentive at $10,00 for Enbridge space-heated customers, and $5,000 for non-Enbridge customers.
- Homes that have already started work on the upgrades before they conduct their pre-retrofit energy assessment.
How to Apply for the Greener Homes Grant & HER+ Rebates
1.
Assess Your Eligibility
Begin by checking if your residence meets the requirements for the grants and rebates. To determine your eligibility, you can either visit the official website hosted by the Government of Canada (Government Website), or refer to the list of criteria provided below.
2.
Arrange a Pre-Retrofit Home Evaluation
HAMCO can help you facilitate the mandatory pre-upgrade home energy assessment which is done by a Registered Energy Advisor. The energy advisor will conduct an EnerGuide evaluation to identify the retrofits that can increase your home’s energy efficiency. The advisor will also assist you in starting the application process.
3.
Hire a Licensed HVAC Company
To receive your grant money, you must complete at least one of the recommended upgrades within 12 months of your home evaluation. And, it’s essential that a licensed HVAC contractor do the work. HAMCO carries top-quality, eligible heat pumps, and heat pump water heaters, and we can help you select the right equipment for your home and install it within the grant guidelines.
Since the grant funds are disbursed after the retrofits and installations have been finalized, you will need to pay your HVAC contractor before receiving the funds from the grant. But, there are options available if you can’t afford the upfront payment. Ask us about HVAC financing options or consider applying for the interest-free loan through the Canada Greener Homes Grant.
4.
Conduct a Post-Upgrade Evaluation
Once the installation is completed, a Registered Energy Advisor will conduct a post-upgrade home energy evaluation. During this assessment, they will confirm the completion of the qualifying retrofits. This step is crucial in order to get the grant.
5.
Receive Your Grant Funds!
The final step involves submitting your grant request via the Enbridge portal. To ensure a smooth approval process, an accredited auditor can help you. Then, all that’s left to do is wait for your cheque! Please be aware that it may take up to 12 weeks for the cheque to be delivered.

Fearing an exorbitant bill, I reached out to HAMCO for a Saturday service call during another heat wave. Christian from HAMCO promptly returned my email and explained the... charges, both 'real' and potential. He arrived when he said he would (rarer than it should be!) and immediately set to work. He efficiently and effectively diagnosed the issues and had a well-stocked truck that allowed him to fix both issues and restore my air conditioning. Thank you, Christian! The price was very reasonable and below what I expected to pay under the circumstances. I will continue to recommend HAMCO! Strangely, my two neighbours to the north have both had their air conditioning fail over the last 10 days and neither received timely nor exemplary service from their providers, who were NOT HAMCO.read more

There I was… with an rv hot water tank that needed to be replaced and some propane lines that were beyond sketchy. I didn’t know how to resolve these issues and who would... take on such a project. I reached out to Hamco and although rv trailers are not something they usually tackle, they cared enough to listen. They understood I needed help and they took this job on. Right away, Nolan was out to do an on-site inspection to get a better understanding of what was involved and what needed to be done. He was so professional, personable and knowledgeable. He got right to the task at hand and understood quickly what needed to be addressed. A date was easily booked through the helpful and courteous office team. On June 12, 2024 Nolan returned and again, wasted no time diving in and getting the old hot water tank out and installing the new. Repairing the propane lines and testing and checking all the new system. I can’t thank Nolan, Jordan, Veronika and the rest of the team at Hamco enough for caring, going the extra mile and helping me out of a real jam. It’s not always easy for a service company to achieve the highest level of service that it’s customers expect… but Hamco sure did reach it here.read more

It feels like Summer is already here and so thankful that we purchased our new York A/C from Hamco a few months ago. It’s running great and keeping our house nice and... comfortable. We have been a customer for many years and can’t be more pleased with Sales (Andrew) Service (Shane) and Customer Service (Tara). All so friendly and knowledgeable.Quick story: Two winters ago my wife and I were visiting my daughter and her family in Switzerland. We were there for 2 months and while away we had a good friend checking the house on a regular basis. A month into the visit I received a text that there was an issue with the furnace. The condensate drain line was leaking and had to be fixed/replaced asap. A 6-hour time change made phoning a challenge however, after talking with Tara and Shane we were relieved and the repair was made the next day. Where do you get Service like that!Thanks again to the HAMCO Family!Regards,Charles D. Shieldsread more

He went above and beyond - which is always the case with Hamco and their technicians. My thanks go to Shane and his crew.Hamco just finished this year's (2021) annual maintenance on 2 furnaces. Technician (Eric) did a bang-up job - knowledgeable, efficient and courteous - thank you !!Once again Hamco earns its stripes. Had them in for regular furnace maintenance.

They were courteous and efficient, and the work of removal and installation of the new system went smoothly. They did a great job of cleanup in the work area, and outside where the hear pump unit is located. Thanks to the installation team, and to Andrew who did the upfront work of finding the right solution for us.read more

Our old rental hot water heater burst, which left us with a bit of a flood and no hot water. We phoned around to the big box retailers to purchase and install a new hot water... tank. The install dates were anything from 7 to 14 days wait. I phone Hamco, and they sent a rep that afternoon to estimate the job. The install was completed next day in 2 hours. Excellent service and competitive price. Highly recommend.read more

Yesterday the Hamco team replaced my furnace and air conditioner, and did a wonderful job! Led by Shemar, they were courteous and efficient, and the work went smoothly.... Shemar added some unexpected touches - a handle for easily removing the filter, and a pouch for storing the manuals - very helpful for a forgetful and arthritic senior! He helped me set my thermostat and talked me through all decisions made. Thank you to a great team: Tony, Jonathan, and Shemar, and to Steve, who did the diagnostic work on the old furnace and a/c. Congratulations.read more

Well I waited a while to write a review til it got "REAL cold". I have to say the HEAT PUMP/AC PUMP we had installed in the summer did an outstanding job dealing with the... entire attic area with ease. It was so comfortable up there (when it was like 40+ degrees outside on those heat wave stretches we had here in old DUNDAS) we just wanted to be up there more often, also noticed the air was very comfortable and clear. Not too dry or humid, kinda just perfect.Our house was built in 1903, pretty typical Edwardian style, long, skinny and REALLY tall. Attic open from front to back of house.NOW that its COLD, prior to this HEAT PUMP install, our attic was an ice box. Tough to enjoy, NOT A PROBLEM NOW THOUGH !!! The heat in there is excellent!! It's just quietly keeping us at 24 degrees or so. The outside unit is so quiet I have to lean into it make sure we are running. Incredible really!! HYDRO bills do not show huge increases. I think we are quite similar in historical billing actually, be being more efficient in other areas. Ii.e. weekend laundry only (OFF PEAK), less fancy lights out back no one really looks at too much.The installer crew were in/out in about 7 hours. Great crew!!"ANDREW" was spectacular from start to finish with his knowledge, confidence and professionalism. I had 3 or 4 discussions with hvac folks, and clearly ANDREW knew the job better then the rest, so we signed with HAMCO!Thx folks, I've recommended you several times.Bread more

Starting from the sales representative Andrew to the technicians who installed the unit, Ainslea, Shemar, Nick and Tony, we couldnt be... happier with the service we received from start to finish. Professional, friendly and efficient, it was a pleasure having them in my home. Hard working bunch and will definitely be referring this company in the future. Thank you Hamco for the amazing job!read more
What Is a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are compact 2-in-1 heating systems that work efficiently and fairly quietly. Heat pumps both heat and cool by transferring energy. There are both ducted and ductless heat pumps. If your space doesn’t have ductwork, you can have a ductless heat pump installed. In addition to ductless and ducted, there are single-zone and multi-zone heat pumps.
Ductless single-zone heat pumps are especially excellent for heating small spaces like studios and offices. Multi-zone heat pumps make it easy to control the temperature in each area of your house. With a single outdoor unit, a multi-zone heat pump lets you independently control temperatures in up to 8 separate zones.
Regardless if it’s ducted or ductless, or single-zone versus multi-zone, heat pumps take less energy to operate and that saves you money on your energy bills.
What Is a Hybrid Heating System?
A hybrid heating system is a system that allows for maximum energy efficiency as it combines the power of two systems. This configuration consists of a heat pump and a gas-powered furnace. This combination of heating systems allows you to heat your home in the most efficient way possible. The electric air-source heat pump heats your home when temperatures are moderate and electricity rates are low, while the gas furnace kicks in when it’s especially cold outside or when electricity rates are at their peak.
Plus, they’re super easy to operate. Smart controls automatically switch between the natural gas heat source and the electric heat pump based on whichever is the most efficient at the time. This way, you get energy-cost resiliency and the option to heat with natural gas or electric heat. And on top of all that, heat pumps are two-in-one HVAC systems. That means you will also have an air conditioner whether it’s a standalone heat pump or a hybrid system.
Hybrid heating systems are covered by the heat pump rebates.
