Government Rebates & Heat Pump Incentives in Ottawa
Make your upgrade once. Let the rebates do the heavy lifting.
Upgrading to a cold-climate heat pump or improving your home’s efficiency is a lot easier when the government is paying a big part of the bill.
On this page, we’ve summarized the main rebate program available in Ottawa, Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) – Ontario’s current primary heat pump rebate.
Peak Comfort HVAC handles all the paperwork for the program so you can focus on choosing the right system and enjoying a more comfortable home.
HRSP Heat Pump Rebates (Ottawa)
Government rebates for heat pump upgrades, with no home energy assessment required for the single-upgrade heat pump stream.
Rebate Amounts – Heat Pumps
Exact amounts depend on how your home is currently heated and the size of the heat pump (in “tons” of capacity):
Homes heated with Enbridge natural gas
- $500 per ton for eligible cold-climate air-source heat pumps
- Up to $2,000 in total rebates
Homes heated with electricity, oil, propane, or wood
- $1,250 per ton for eligible cold-climate air-source heat pumps
- Up to $7,500 in total rebates
(Geothermal / ground-source systems may qualify for higher rebates under the same program – ask us if you’re considering geo.)
Why It’s a No-Brainer
- Rebate often covers most or all of the cost difference between a traditional AC and a cold-climate heat pump
- Year-over-year energy savings and lower emissions
- Designed for real Ottawa winters with low-temperature performance
- No audit, no assessor visit, no delays for the heat-pump-only stream
Two Ways to Use HRSP
Option 1 – Heat Pump Only (Most Common)
- No home energy assessment required
- Best if you mainly want to upgrade your heating & cooling system now
- Rebate based on the heat pump size and your current fuel type
Option 2 – Heat Pump + Other Upgrades (2+ Upgrades Stream)
- Requires a pre- and post-retrofit home energy assessment
- You complete two or more qualifying upgrades (e.g., heat pump + insulation, windows, etc.)
- Higher total rebate potential: up to $5,000 for gas-heated homes and $10,000 for electrically heated homes, including an allowance for the energy assessments
