You do not apply for Ontario heat pump rebates directly. Your participating contractor submits the Home Renovation Savings Program application after installation. Follow these steps so your rebate is not rejected.
Before you hire
- Run the free checker to confirm gas vs non-gas amounts.
- Search homerenovationsavings.ca for a contractor in your postal code.
- Verify they are registered for heat pump installs.
- For bundled projects only: book pre-retrofit EnerGuide assessment before any work.
During installation
- Heat pump must be on NRCan's qualified products list
- Keep invoices, model numbers, and serial numbers
- Do not start bundled envelope work before the pre-audit
After installation
Your contractor submits through the HRSP portal. If you heat with oil, you may also apply for federal OHPA separately. Processing times vary. Confirm on the official site.
New contractor registration closed May 31, 2026. Verify your contractor's active status before signing.
