2026 HVAC Rebates & Incentives in Ontario
Government and utility rebates may be available for qualifying HVAC upgrades. Here's what's currently active, what has closed, and how to confirm your eligibility.
Why Rebates Matter
Ontario homeowners upgrading to high-efficiency HVAC equipment can access multiple stacking rebate programs — meaning you can claim from more than one program for the same upgrade. Depending on your utility and eligibility, a homeowner installing a cold-climate heat pump may receive significant combined savings from provincial and utility programs. Rebate amounts and program availability change; confirm current eligibility before purchasing.
The catch: rebate programs have specific eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and pre-approval steps that many homeowners miss. This guide explains each program clearly and tells you exactly what you need to do to qualify.
