Yes. Homeowners in Mississauga can access up to $7,500 in heat pump rebates through the
Home Renovation Savings Program, though your exact payout depends entirely on your current heating fuel and equipment choice.
| Your Current Heating Source | Potential Rebate (Air-Source) | Program Details |
| Electric, Oil, Propane, or Wood | Up to $7,500 ($1,250/ton) | Highest incentive tier; designed to offset the cost of moving away from high-carbon/high-cost heating. |
| Natural Gas (Enbridge) | Up to $2,000 ($500/ton) | Must be an Enbridge Gas customer; often applied to hybrid setups (heat pump paired with a backup furnace). |
| Ground-Source (Geothermal) | Up to $12,000 | Maximum payout for non-gas homes; natural gas homes receive a flat $3,000. |
What Determines Your Eligibility?
- Existing System: Switching from electric baseboards or oil unlocks substantially higher rebates than switching from an existing natural gas furnace.
- Equipment Rating: The new unit must be a certified cold-climate model listed on the official qualifying products list. Standard-efficiency units do not qualify, so check the model number on your heat pump installation quote before you sign anything.
- Pre-Approval: You must secure pre-approval before any installation begins. Installing the unit first and applying later will result in an automatically rejected rebate.
- Energy Audit: Unlike past programs (such as the now-closed Canada Greener Homes grant), the current heat pump rebate does not require a pre- or post-installation home energy audit.
How the Application Process Works
The fine print can be a headache, which is why the paperwork should be handled directly by your registered HVAC contractor. They will conduct an in-home inspection to check whether your ducts can handle the airflow, determine the correct unit capacity, and submit the pre-installation approval forms on your behalf. You should always receive a firm, written estimate showing exactly what you qualify for before any work begins.
