The two main programs
Provincial
Up to $12,000
Home Renovation Savings Program (HRS)
Ontario program offering rebates for heat pumps ($1,500-$7,500 air-source, up to $12,000 geothermal), insulation ($1,250-$7,700), windows ($100/opening), and rooftop solar/battery ($5,000+$5,000).

Free if income-qualified
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHPA)
The federal direct intake closed July 31, 2026 — but Ontario still delivers OHPA funding through Save on Energy's Energy Affordability Program: income-qualified oil-heated homes can get a cold-climate heat pump at no cost (no published closing date). Everyone else still gets the top HRS rate (up to $7,500).

Each upgrade has its own full guide and calculator. Doing more than one? Claiming them together usually means a bigger total rebate — see how stacking works.
Heat Pump
Up to $7,500 (air) / $12,000 (geo)
The biggest single rebate for most homes — full guide + calculator.
Solar & Battery
Up to $10,000
Rooftop solar + storage. Can’t combine with net metering — guide, deadline, calculator.
Windows & Doors
$100/opening
Cost of replacement + the rebate, netted out. Free cost calculator.
Insulation
Up to $7,700
Attic, walls, and air sealing — often the best dollar-per-rebate upgrade.

Timeline planner
If you start today (Aug 4, 2026), here is your schedule
✓ You fit comfortably
Starting today leaves about 55 days of buffer between your paperwork submission and the November 30, 2026 cutoff.
Typical durations based on the standard HRS process; actual timing varies by contractor availability, home, and season. Programs can change or close at any time.
The 5-step rebate process
Estimate eligibility
Use our calculator to see what you may qualify for.
Match the right pro to your upgrade
Heat pumps require an HRS Participating Contractor. Other upgrades differ: appliances are claimed after retail purchase, solar uses your own contractor with pre-approval, and bundled insulation/windows go through a registered energy advisor.
Get pre-approval
Critical step — pre-approval BEFORE installation, not after.
Complete installation
The work is completed and the application filed per your pathway — by your contractor for heat pumps, or by you for self-claimed measures like appliances.
Receive rebate cheque
Typically 6-12 weeks after installation.
HRS ends November 30, 2026
