Ontario Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives 2026
A heat pump replacement can qualify for federal and provincial incentives that significantly reduce your net cost. Programs and amounts change often, so we confirm your exact eligible rebate during your free estimate.
| Program | Typical Incentive | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Home Renovation Savings Program | Up to $7,500 | Delivered by Save on Energy and Enbridge Gas with Ontario government support. Rebate amount depends on your current heating fuel and the heat pump type installed; no home energy assessment required for a single-upgrade rebate. |
| Canada Greener Homes Loan | Interest-free up to $40,000 | Financing (not a grant) for qualifying energy retrofits, including heat pumps. Requires a pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation before work begins. |
| Oil-to-Heat Pump Affordability Program | Up to $10,000 | For homes switching off oil heating to a cold-climate heat pump. Can be combined with other provincial incentives. |
| Local Utility Incentives | Varies | Some Burlington-area utilities offer additional smart thermostat or efficiency bundle incentives on top of provincial programs. |
Rebate amounts and eligibility rules change frequently and programs can close without notice. When we quote your replacement, we confirm which programs you currently qualify for and help with the paperwork — so you’re never guessing at the numbers.
Know the Warning Signs
Signs It’s Time for a Heat Pump Replacement
Your System Is 12+ Years Old
Most heat pumps last 12–15 years. Past that point, efficiency drops and major component failures become more likely and more expensive.
Repairs Are Becoming Frequent
If you’re calling for repair more than once a year, or the last repair quote was close to half the cost of a new system, replacement is usually the better investment.
Rising Energy Bills
An aging heat pump loses efficiency gradually — if your bills keep climbing despite normal usage, your system is likely working harder than it should.
Uneven Heating or Cooling
Some rooms too warm, others too cold, can point to a system that’s undersized, poorly matched, or nearing the end of its service life.
R-22 or Outdated Refrigerant
Older systems using discontinued refrigerants are expensive to service and worth replacing with a modern, efficient unit.
Constant Noise or Vibration
Persistent grinding, rattling, or vibration in an older unit often signals worn components that are no longer worth repairing individually.
Understanding the Mechanics
Why Aging Heat Pumps Cost More Every Year
A heat pump doesn’t fail all at once — it declines gradually. As key components wear down, your system has to work harder to deliver the same heating and cooling, which shows up as higher bills long before a full breakdown.
Efficiency Drops With Age
Older compressors and coils lose capacity over time, so a 12+ year old system uses more electricity to produce the same comfort as a new one.
Refrigerant & Parts Get Harder to Source
Older refrigerants and discontinued parts make repairs slower and more expensive — and some components simply aren’t manufactured anymore.
Repairs Start Stacking Up
Once one major component fails, others from the same era usually aren’t far behind — turning a single repair into a pattern of repeat visits.
Rebates Offset the Upgrade Cost
Current Ontario incentives can meaningfully reduce the net cost of replacing an old system — often narrowing the gap with a major repair.

Burlington-Specific Heat Pump Replacement Challenges
Replacing a heat pump in Burlington isn’t the same as replacing one anywhere else. Here’s what we plan for on every job:
Cold-Snap Heating Demand
Problem
Burlington winters regularly dip below -10°C, and an undersized or standard heat pump can struggle to keep up on the coldest days.
Solution
We size and, where appropriate, recommend a cold-climate model rated to maintain output well below freezing.
Older Electrical Panels
Problem
Many Burlington homes were built with electrical panels not originally sized for a heat pump’s load.
Solution
We check electrical capacity during your free estimate and include any needed panel or circuit upgrades in your quote.
Lake Ontario Humidity
Problem
Elevated humidity from Lake Ontario means an undersized replacement will struggle to dehumidify effectively in cooling mode.
Solution
We run a proper load calculation instead of matching your old unit’s size, so your new system is right for your home.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
It usually comes down to age and repair cost. Systems under 10–12 years old with a single issue are often worth repairing. Systems 12+ years old, or facing a repair near half the cost of a new unit, are usually better replaced. Try our Is a Heat Pump Worth It Quiz for a quick answer.
How long does a heat pump replacement take?
Most standard replacements are completed in a single day. Jobs requiring electrical panel upgrades or ductwork changes may take longer — we’ll confirm the timeline in your written quote.
What rebates can I get for a heat pump replacement in Ontario?
Depending on your current heating fuel and the system you install, you may qualify for the Home Renovation Savings Program, the Canada Greener Homes Loan, and other programs. We confirm your exact eligible rebates during your free estimate.
What size heat pump do I need?
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and layout — not just matching your old unit. We run a proper load calculation as part of every free estimate. You can also try our Heat Pump Size & BTU Calculator.
Can a heat pump replace my furnace entirely?
In many Burlington homes, yes — a properly sized cold-climate heat pump can handle heating on its own. Some homeowners prefer a dual-fuel setup that keeps a furnace as backup. We’ll go over both options during your estimate.
