Separate the Ontario heat pump support routes

Different support routes solve different problems. HRS offers an equipment rebate after approved work. Ontario affordability support can provide qualifying households with a direct installation. A loan finances costs and must be repaid; it is not another rebate.

Purchased heat pumps: the current HRS rates

• Enbridge natural gas heating: cold climate air source, $500 per ton, capped at $2,000; ground source, $3,000.
• Electric resistance, oil, propane or wood heating on the Ontario grid: air source, $1,250 per ton, capped at $7,500; ground source, $2,000 per ton, capped at $12,000.
• Rental equipment follows a separate rate: air source up to $2,000 and ground source $3,000. Do not use the purchased-system cap for a rental.

These are program limits, not a quote for your home. The equipment match and qualifying capacity determine the calculation. See the official HRS heat pump rates.
