Heat Pump Rebates and Benefits that 2,000+ sqft Homeowners Should Know About

Heat pumps have quickly become popular throughout Canada for good reason–they provide efficient all-season heating and cooling using significantly less energy than traditional systems, while dehumidifying your home year round for increased comfort and air quality. Furthermore, unlike many energy upgrades that require full home energy assessments in order to qualify, most rebate programs for heat pumps don’t necessitate such assessments in order to qualify.

There are two primary categories of heat pumps to consider.

• Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps: These heat pump units use outside air to transfer heat into your home, making them one of the most commonly used types in Canada. Specialized engineering allows these systems to function even at temperatures as low as -30degC – making them popular.
• Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps: These innovative heat pump systems use steady underground temperatures to efficiently heat and cool your home, which is especially efficient during colder months. Ideal properties are those with enough space for underground loop systems.

Rebates depend on your current home heating source: natural gas, electricity, oil, propane or wood. Depending on which heat pump type and way your home is being heated currently, rebate amounts could range anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars; rental options may also qualify.
