Government of Canada · National Heat Pump Rebate

Heat Pump Rebates up to $10,000

Q: How do I calculate my household income?

From your 2025 tax return, take net income (line 23600) minus total taxes payable (line 43500). If you have a spouse or common-law partner, do the same for them and add the two amounts.

Q: Which heat pumps qualify?

Heat pumps on the program's eligible product list, identified by AHRI number, that can heat the entire home and are purchased from and installed by an HVAC contractor.

Q: Do I need an energy audit?

No. An energy audit is not required before or after installation.

Q: Will a heat pump lower my energy bills?

It depends. Switching from natural gas to a heat pump may not reduce bills, depending on region, system and other factors.

Canada's new National Heat Pump Rebate helps homeowners switch to a cold climate heat pump. Your rebate depends on your household income: up to $10,000 for households at or below the median income, and $2,000 for households above it. Spring Home, Toronto's recognized HRAI Heat Pump Champions, sizes and installs your system so it's set up to qualify.

About the Program

What Is the National Heat Pump Rebate?

The National Heat Pump Rebate is part of the Government of Canada's One Million Home Energy Retrofits initiative. Environment and Climate Change Canada is investing $2 billion to help up to 820,000 households install a cold climate heat pump.

The rebate is for heat pump systems that can heat your entire home, purchased from and installed by an HVAC contractor. You can replace electric, natural gas, oil, propane, diesel, coal or wood heating, and you don't need to remove your existing system.

01How much is the National Heat Pump Rebate?

Households at or below the median after-tax income for their province or territory and household size can receive up to $10,000. Households above the median receive $2,000.

02How do I calculate my household income?

From your 2025 tax return, take your net income (line 23600) and subtract your total taxes payable (line 43500). If you have a spouse or common-law partner, do the same for them and add the two amounts together. In Ontario, a two-person household qualifies for the higher rebate at $92,884 or less.

03Can I install a heat pump now and apply later?

Yes. Eligible installations on or after November 1, 2026 may qualify, and the online portal is expected to open in early 2027. Keep your receipts and submit them within six months. Funding isn't guaranteed until your application is approved, and program details may still change.

04Which heat pumps qualify?

The heat pump must be on the program's eligible product list, identified by its AHRI number, and must be able to heat your entire home. It also has to be purchased from and installed by an HVAC contractor. We'll confirm your system's AHRI number before you buy.

05Do I need an energy audit?

No. The program doesn't require an energy audit before or after your installation.

06Do I have to remove my furnace?

No. You don't need to remove your existing system or prove it has failed. The rebate covers replacing electric, natural gas, oil, propane, diesel, coal and wood heating, for both planned and emergency installations.

07Does a rental property qualify?

Yes. You must own the home and live in Canada, but it doesn't have to be your primary residence. There's a limit of one rebate per household, even if you own several properties, and the address can't have received federal heat pump funding before.

08Will a heat pump lower my energy bills?

It depends. The Government of Canada notes that switching from natural gas to a heat pump may not reduce your bills, depending on your region, your system and other factors. We'll give you an honest look at what to expect for your home.

    We have used this company for a number of years (~ 10 years) and had our furnace replaced by them 2 years ago. They have always been reliable and fair priced and usually buy their furnace and a/c combo service package. Alan, our technician today was very decent and attentive and was a pleasure to deal with. Whenever calling in for service, Shirley and Rodina are always very helpful and nice to deal with.

    Had my furnace serviced today and really need to post this review to say thanks to Rodina (office) and Amir (technician). We bought our furnace and air conditioner 10 years ago from Spring Home & know both Rodina & Amir since then.  Over these past years we continue to receive stellar services that are always consistently of high quality.  When it comes to heating and cooling, there is comfort knowing that we can rely on Spring Home!  Keep it up!

    We are grateful for the excellent service provided by Alan from Spring Home. Our attic HVAC system had several complicated issues from a poor original installation and subsequent critter damage, but Alan handled it all. He was professional, thoroughly repaired the damage, and corrected the underlying installation issues so the system now runs safely and efficiently. Thank you, Alan, for your hard work, expertise, and for making our house comfortable again!

    I recently had Alan come out for boiler maintenance, and he provided exceptional service from start to finish. He was punctual, thorough, and clearly an expert at what he does. Beyond completing the tune-up flawlessly, what impressed me most was how generous he was with his time and knowledge. Alan patiently walked me through how the system operates, answered all my questions without rushing, and shared practical tips on maintaining efficiency throughout the heating season. Honest, professional, and knowledgeable—I wouldn’t hesitate to call Alan again for future service. Five stars!
