Oakville homeowners can access up to $7,500 in rebates on an eligible air-source heat pump through the Ontario Home Renovation Savings program, which is administered by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy (IESO). Ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps qualify for up to $12,000 under the same program. Standalone heat pump installations do not require a pre-upgrade energy assessment to access the rebate — you can apply after the installation is complete through homerenovationsavings.ca. Oakville is an Enbridge Gas natural gas service area and is served by Oakville Hydro, which delivers Save on Energy programs on behalf of the IESO. Both natural gas customers and electric customers can access the Home Renovation Savings rebates. Several programs that were active in 2024 and 2025 are now closed to new applications: the Canada Greener Homes Loan (funding fully committed as of 2025), the Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program (closed December 31, 2025 and replaced by the Home Renovation Savings program), and the Canada Greener Homes Grant (closed February 2024). The Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP) is a federal program that Ontario is not currently participating in as of 2026. Contractor.ca is not a government program and is not affiliated with Enbridge Gas, the IESO, or the Government of Canada.

Ready to get quotes for your Heat Pump Rebates in Oakville?
Free for homeowners · No obligation · Licensed Ontario tradesVisit homerenovationsavings.ca to confirm your home qualifies. Oakville homeowners are eligible if they have an active Enbridge Gas account or are served by Oakville Hydro. Confirm the heat pump model you plan to install is on the current qualified products list before purchasing.
Obtain at least two itemized quotes from licensed contractors holding an Ontario College of Trades 313A or 313D Certificate of Qualification. For dual-fuel setups with a gas backup, the contractor must also hold a TSSA G2 or G1 gas technician licence. Contractor.ca can connect you with licensed Oakville contractors familiar with rebate documentation.
Retain your contractor invoice, equipment model and serial number, and proof of installation date. The Town of Oakville requires a building permit for heat pump installations, and an ESA permit is required for the 240V electrical connection — ensure your contractor pulls both before work begins.
Submit your rebate application at homerenovationsavings.ca. You will need your contractor invoice, equipment details, and utility account information. Rebates are issued after the application is reviewed and approved. No energy assessment is required for a standalone heat pump installation.
