Looking to upgrade your heating system without jumping through hoops? The Ontario Home Renovation Savings Program now offers homeowners the chance to install a high-efficiency heat pump and access rebates up to $12,000—no energy assessment required.
If you’ve been putting off your upgrade due to red tape, this program could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
What’s the Offer?
This 2025 heat pump rebate depends on your current home heating source and the type of heat pump you install:
For Homes Heated with Electricity, Oil, Propane or Wood:
- Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump: $1,250/ton, up to $7,500
- Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pump: $2,000/ton, up to $12,000
For Enbridge Gas Customers (Natural Gas Heat Source):

Renting a Heat Pump?
If you’re exploring rental options, you’re also eligible:

No energy audit or blower door test is required this year. Just fill out a pre-installation application and book installation by a participating contractor.

Why Investing in a Heat Pump Now is Worth It
This simplified rebate process makes heat pump adoption more accessible than ever, especially for homeowners who don’t want to pay for or wait on a full energy audit. Plus, with recent changes to carbon pricing, it’s smart to future-proof your home with electric heating options that lower long-term operating costs and emissions.
