Ottawa Heat Pump Grants

Take advantage of Ottawa heat pump grants when you retrofit your home with a qualifying heat pump system!

Heat pumps have gained popularity in homes across Ottawa and Southern Ontario because they’re super efficient, dual-function machines. Plus, they help homeowners reduce their carbon footprint. However, some people are hesitant to make the switch because of the initial expenses of installing a heat pump. The good news is that you can save big on the installation of your heat pump with these Ottawa heat pump grants and rebates! Read on to learn more about them.

Canada Greener Homes Grant

You might have heard about the Greener Homes Grant by now. This grant is an incentive by the Federal Government to help Canadians make their homes more energy efficient and reduce their carbon footprint through the installation of an ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump. The grant offers eligible Canadians up to $5,000 to put toward the cost of installing a heat pump. Homeowners can also receive up to $600 back for the required EnerGuide home energy evaluation.

You could also qualify for an interest-free loan of up to $40,000. Using this loan, homeowners have the opportunity to upgrade their home efficiency even further with eligible retrofits. Plus, you get up to 10 years to repay the loan.

The Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) Program

Now, Enbridge Gas is offering enhanced rebates for certain home efficiency upgrades. In fact, they’ve teamed up with the Canada Greener Homes Grant to co-deliver the HER+ (Home Efficiency Rebates Plus) Program. Basically, the two incentives are rolled into one easy application.

The HER+ Program offers eligible Ontario residents up to $7,800 in savings on the installation of an ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump or heat pump water heater, plus up to $600 for the EnerGuide evaluation.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Eligible Canadians can apply for both the government grant and Enbridge enhanced rebates through the same application.
  • Enbridge Gas customers or homeowners making the switch to Enbridge Gas qualify for the Enbridge enhanced rebates.
  • The funds can only be used for certain retrofits and upgrades, including certain heat pump and heat pump water heater installations.
  • A pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide Home Energy Assessment is required.
  • Only one homeowner per household can apply.

Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Grant

If your home is heated by oil, you could receive an upfront payment of up to $10,000 to make the switch to an energy-efficient heat pump. The program is currently accepting applications from eligible homeowners. The program helps Canadian homeowners transition to electric cold climate air source heat pumps. This transition can save you thousands of dollars in heating bills and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

To be eligible for the grant, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Homeowners with household income at or below the median household after-tax income
  • Own a home that’s currently heated by oil
  • Qualifying properties include:
    • Single or semi-detached houses
    • Townhomes and row houses
    • Mobile homes (on permanent foundation)
    • Permanently moored floating homes
    • Low-rise multi-unit residential buildings
    • Mixed-use buildings (residential portion only)

I changed the rate because the reaction from site office is extremely satisfy. I have no heat during the weekend and complained. I got a respond very quickly from their site office and find out the... reason of no respond. Then a new appoint was scheduled right way! Also a report has been filed towards this issue and I believe communication will be taken to improve future services. I really like this manner! Thank you.//I have no heat on the coldest day this winter. I called for service at 10:28am, and the office lady said someone will reach me ASAP. I called at 17:26pm again because NO ONE called me the whole day. And I was told there is a long list so THEY DON'T CARE! I HAVE TO WAIT! And this is a same problem happened second time in two years. Do not recommend.read more

I had an extremely positive experience with Team Harding from beginning to end. I had them install a Sterling Model GG 45,000 BTU Natural Gas Garage Heater with a Nest Learning Thermostat in my... double garage (Man-Cave).The sales rep, Brian was professional, friendly, he wasn’t pushy at all and he came under budget. Kirsten constantly kept me up to date on the installer’s scheduling and was a true professional. The installers came on time, did a tremendous job with the installation and they even cleaned up afterwards. Absolute Rock Stars!Again, thank you so very much to everyone that worked on this project for me.I highly recommend using Team Harding for your home projects.read more

Harding Heating & Air Conditioning were excellent. We had an issue with our furnace fan and I spoke to Natasha Wright (Service Coordinator) who first tried to troubleshoot the problem with me to... save costs, etc. Once that didn't work, a technician, Marc Gagon, attended. He quickly diagnosed the problem (faulty control board), but didn't stop there. He investigated the source - water under the AC coils. Further, he went outside to ensure the A/C unit was working properly. Marc Gagon is very professional, competent and took the time to explain things. He is a asset to Harding Heating & Air Conditioning, along with Natasha Wright. I highly recommend this company for your heating and a/c needs. Shawnread more

We have a 28 year old air-source heat pump that needed some TLC.Harding sent their tech out to diagnose, and provide options and pricing. Very reasonable.Exterior unit needed a new fan motor.... Within a few days an installer came and installed new motor, but made a slight error, and it was rotating the wrong way. Quick call had it corrected. Further found our defrost board was faulty. Harding provided quote upfront for a replacement aftermarket board. Kept in contact as to timeline and expected deliver and installation date.Tech came on-site as promised, did the install, and stayed to make sure unit was cycling properly. Billed for the quoted amount.Harding delivers what's promised, when promised, at quoted price. And has staff who know what they're looking at.Hard to ask for more from an HVAC service provider.read more

Very professional amazing staff. We had a technician come to see our old air conditioner which was beyond repair (we figured it would be). Next they had a staff member come to our house to look at... our furnaces and give recommendations for new air conditioners, he was very thorough and explained all our options in detail. Finally they came to disconnect the old air conditioner to take away for us and install the new air conditioners. The technicians were on time, very polite, did an amazing job and cleaned up after themselves above and beyond what I expected. Their prices were very reasonable and the after care packages that are included give us peace of mind for the future. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Thank you Harding!read more

What is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a 2-in-1 HVAC system that heats and cools your home. During the winter, it works by transferring heat into your home to where it’s needed. In the summer, it transfers the heat out of your home to cool it. Heat pumps are powered by electricity.

It’s an extremely energy-efficient system because it only transfers heat that exists in the air instead of producing heat, which requires much more energy. Due to their energy efficiency, heat pumps can save you money on energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

There are different types of heat pumps that qualify for Ottawa heat pump grants, including;

Ground Source Heat Pumps

Ottawa heat pump grants can be applied to the installation of a new ground-source heat pump or the replacement of the heat pump unit.

Ground source heat pumps are also known as geothermal heat pumps. They work by extracting heat from the ground and moving it where it needs to be. Ground source heat pumps make use of the natural thermal energy that is stored within the Earth. This means that there’s no combustion of fossil fuels and no generation of heat.

Ground source heat pumps can be installed in the backyard of a house.

Air Source Heat Pumps and Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps

You can use Ottawa heat pump grants to install a new air source or cold climate heat pump or replace the unit. You can use the grant for an air source or cold climate heat pump that works as a standalone or in conjunction with another backup heating system.

Air source heat pumps extract the thermal energy from the air and move that heat into your home. These heat pumps can also cool your home when it’s hot by transferring the heat inside your house outside. Cold climate heat pumps are slightly more efficient and work in colder temperatures than standard air source heat pumps. If you live in an area where temperatures regularly drop below -10, cold climate heat pumps are better as they can operate in temperatures as low as -30.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Ottawa heat pump grants can also be put toward the installation of heat pump water heaters.

Heat pump water heaters are more efficient than traditional water heaters and use up to 70% less energy, on average. Just like heat pumps, heat pump water heaters move heat from one place to another. Depending on the type of heat pump, it transfers heat from the source (air or ground) and into the water tank. Heat pump water heaters are also powered by electricity.

You can also install an air source heat pump system that takes care of your home’s heating, cooling, and water heating. These combination systems take heat from indoors and from the outside air to heat your home and water. During the summer, these systems take the heat from the air inside your home.
