Plan your upgrade.

Eligible households may receive $2,000; income-qualified households may receive up to $10,000. Combine with Ontario HRS when eligible for both. Cost limits apply.

Your home. Your potential rebate.

Estimate HRS by heating source and system size, then see the federal income tier alongside it. This calculator is for Ontario homeowners purchasing a qualifying whole-home, cold-climate air-source heat pump—not rented or ground-source systems.

No sign-up or income documents. Your answers stay inside this isolated calculator in your browser. They are not saved to IHC, sent to analytics, or passed to the booking form.

Estimates use the federal income rules and HRS heating-capacity rates, reviewed November 2, 2026. Program administrators make the final decision. Combined funding cannot exceed eligible costs.

Discuss equipment, sizing and the application steps. Your calculator answers are not shared.

Two programs. Separate requirements.

Yes, eligible rebates can work together.

The federal announcement allows combination with provincial incentives. HRS allows outside funding within its limits. Together, these policies support combining the programs when your household and installation qualify for both—not an automatic combined payout.

Based on the federal announcement and HRS stacking rules.

Before you install

Federal retroactivity does not replace HRS pre-approval.

For HRS, a participating contractor must submit the pre-installation application and receive written approval before installation. Do not skip this step because the federal program may recognize an earlier installation.

HRS · Purchased cold-climate air-source systems

Primarily heating with natural gas?

$500 per eligible heating ton

Up to $2,000

For qualifying homes with an active residential Enbridge Gas account.

HRS · Purchased cold-climate air-source systems

Electric, oil, propane or wood heat?

$1,250 per eligible heating ton

Up to $7,500

For qualifying homes connected to Ontario’s electricity grid.

HRS uses qualifying heating capacity—not simply the nominal cooling-size label. These are air-source amounts, not ground-source maximums. Confirm the exact equipment and contractor eligibility. HRS heat-pump requirements. HRS does not cover replacement of an existing space-heating heat pump; see the HRS eligibility FAQ.

Keep the math honest.

Total incentives cannot exceed eligible supply and installation costs. HRS also excludes stacking with other Enbridge Gas, IESO Save on Energy or Ontario government incentives for the same measure. Separate applications and the final federal rules still apply. Check the official limits.

A useful starting point

Check the home, the equipment and the paperwork.

Start with these federal screening points. They are not an eligibility decision or a substitute for the full program rules.

  • Canadian resident who owns the home; one rebate per household.
  • No previous federal heat-pump funding at that address.
  • Eligible AHRI-listed equipment, purchased from and installed by an HVAC contractor, sized to heat the whole home.
  • No federal energy audit required. Existing heating can remain.

Do not send IHC your SIN, tax return or income documents. The browser-only calculator estimates a published income tier; it does not approve eligibility. Our assessment form does not request your income.

Plan the project in the right order

A rebate is part of the decision.
It should not be the whole decision.

Start with the comfort problem you want to solve. Then compare the system, the complete installation cost and the incentive process side by side.

  1. Understand your home

    Bring your current heating fuel, rooms that feel uncomfortable and any accessible equipment information. Ask about ducted versus ductless heat pumps, electrical requirements and backup heat.

  2. Verify before committing

    Ask for the exact indoor/outdoor model combination, eligible-product evidence, installation scope and itemized price. If using HRS, verify the contractor’s participation and obtain the required pre-approval first.

  3. Keep a complete project record

    Keep itemized receipts and equipment identifiers. Follow the federal receipt deadline and document checklist, alongside your HRS records.

  4. Apply through the proper programs

    Keep your HRS application and future federal application separate. Budget for the project without treating an unapproved rebate as money already received.

Make the choice with the full picture

Comfort first. Clear numbers second. Then the right system.

Request an Infinite Home Comfort assessment for your GTA home. Discuss sizing, placement, installation work and a written quote before deciding.

Natural-gas homes can qualify federally, but a switch may not lower heating bills. Compare your actual fuel rates and the proposed system’s operating assumptions.

Before you make a decision

Questions worth asking.

No pressure to choose equipment from a headline. Get the process and full project cost clear first.

Explore heat-pump installation options
Is this the government’s application page?

No. This is an Infinite Home Comfort planning guide. Our assessment button opens our own quote/booking flow, not a rebate application. Use the official program links for application instructions.

Can I subtract both maximum rebates from my quote?

Not automatically. Ask for the complete installation price, taxes and exclusions first. Any incentive estimate should be separate and conditional. Your eligible amount depends on both programs, the equipment and the project costs—not simply the largest numbers shown here.

Should I install now or wait?

That depends on your home’s needs, budget and readiness to meet the program rules. Do not rush solely to chase a rebate. If your existing system needs attention, discuss the repair and replacement options while checking the incentive requirements before authorizing installation.

What should I have ready for an assessment?

Your full service address, current heating fuel, comfort concerns and any recent equipment information you can safely access. Make a list of rooms that are difficult to heat or cool. There is no need to share sensitive financial documents with us.

Are the rebate amounts or approval guaranteed?

No. Program rules can change, and the rules applying to the installation date matter. The federal program’s remaining details are still being finalized. IHC is an independent contractor, not a government agency or rebate administrator.
