Canada Greener Homes Grant

Get up to a $6,500 rebate, and 0% financing, with a qualifying heat pump & furnace system.

GREENER HOMES REBATE PROGRAM FOR HEAT PUMP & FURNACE SYSTEMS

You may have noticed your gas bills increase significantly in January 2023 from the prior month. While some of this is related to the colder weather and increase in consumption, it also is because the price of gas has gone up from $0.18 to $0.32 per cubic meter from January 2022 to January 2023 and the increase in carbon tax for using natural gas in your home.

You can read more about historical rates of natural gas in Ontario at the following website: https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/natural-gas-rates/historical-natural-gas-rates

In order to meet the country’s climate initiatives, the government is planning to move homeowners off of natural gas and into electric alternatives, such as hybrid and heat pump systems. The Greener Homes Grant was introduced in 2022 from the Canadian government to help Canadians make where they live more energy efficient. It will help homeowners save money on purchasing energy efficient upgrades, lower their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and help fight climate change.In 2023, the government increased the rebate from $5000 to $6500 for installing a qualifying heat pump and furnace system, as well as offering 0% financing to help homeowners pay for these systems.
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is being co-delivered by Natural Resources Canada and Enbridge Gas in Ontario under the Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program. Grants are provided to eligible homeowners for recommended and eligible retrofits such as home insulation, windows and doors, heat pumps and renewable energy systems.
  • Get up to $10,000 back against your costs for eligible home retrofits, including $6500 for a new heat pump and furnace system
  • Get up to $600 back for pre and post, home energy inspections
  • Noticeably decrease your home heating costs

What is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner that does heating and cooling. It is installed very similarly to how your current air conditioner is installed. It will work just the same during the warmer months to cool your home, but it is also able to provide heating down to a certain temperature in the winter months. What makes a heat pump so energy efficient at heating is their Coefficient of Performance (COP). The COP refers to how much heat it can generate based on the amount of power it consumes. So for example, if we think of an electric furnace and the cost for 1 kilowatt of heat is $1, the heat pump will produce that same 1 kilowatt of heat for $0.25. This is because heat pumps have a COP of up to 4 which means they can produce the same amount of heat with ¼ the amount of energy. In other words, they are up to 400% more energy efficient!

As the temperature outside gets colder, the COP will decrease making them less efficient. There are two types of heat pumps; standard heat pumps and cold climate heat pumps. Standard heat pumps can heat down to -10 C and cold climate heat pumps can heat down to -30 C. Even though they can heat to these temperatures, they will not provide enough heat to keep your home warm and at the set point on your thermostat. Therefore, in practice, a standard heat pump typically provides efficient heating that can keep your home comfortable to approximately -5 C and cold climate heat pumps provide efficient heating down to approximately -15 C. Once the temperature drops below this, your back up gas or electric furnace will need to kick in. If you don’t have ductwork and have baseboard heat, we can install ductless heat pumps that mount on the wall and then your baseboards will remain as the back up heat source.
