Table of Contents
Switching to an energy-efficient heat pump is a smart move for your home and your wallet. With generous heat pump rebates available through Ontario’s government programs, you can save thousands on installation costs while reducing your carbon footprint. Plus, modern heat pumps offer improved comfort, efficiency, and long-term savings on your energy bills. HVAC Zack is here to walk you through the entire process, from approval to installation and claiming your rebate.
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility for Heat Pump Rebates
Before you get started, ensure your home qualifies for Ontario’s heat pump rebates. Eligibility requirements typically include:
Owning a detached, semi-detached, or row home in Ontario.
Replacing an existing heating system with an energy-efficient heat pump.
Working with a certified contractor like HVAC Zack for installation.
It’s also important to review the latest government rebate policies, as eligibility criteria may be updated periodically.
Step 2: Schedule a Home Energy Assessment (If Needed)
A licensed energy advisor may need to assess your home’s energy efficiency before applying for rebates, depending on the program. If you’re only upgrading to a heat pump that meets the rebate program’s criteria, you may not need an assessment. However, an assessment can still provide valuable insights into your home’s overall efficiency. During this assessment, the advisor will:
Evaluate your current heating and cooling system.
Determine if a heat pump is the right fit for your home.
Provide a detailed report outlining potential energy savings and rebate opportunities.
HVAC Zack can connect you with trusted energy auditors to streamline the process, ensuring you take full advantage of all available incentives.
Step 3: Apply for Heat Pump Rebates with HVAC Zack’s Assistance
Once your home is assessed (if required), it’s time to apply for rebates. HVAC Zack can assist with the application process by ensuring all necessary documents are properly submitted. To complete the application, you’ll need:
Proof of homeownership.
The pre-upgrade energy assessment report (if applicable).
A quote from HVAC Zack, who will be your installer.
Government rebate programs often cover a significant portion of the installation cost, with incentives reaching up to $7,800 depending on your chosen system. Getting everything right from the start ensures a smooth approval process and quicker rebate disbursement.

Step 4: Professional Heat Pump Installation by HVAC Zack
After receiving approval for the rebate, HVAC Zack will provide you with the AHRI (Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) number for your selected heat pump system. This number verifies that your system meets energy efficiency standards and is required when finalizing your rebate application.

Lower energy bills due to improved efficiency.

Reduced carbon footprint by switching to a cleaner energy source.
Additionally, HVAC Zack ensures your installation meets all rebate program requirements so that you don’t run into any issues when claiming your rebate.
