A heat pump moves heat instead of generating it by burning fuel. It can heat in winter and cool in summer, but its output, running cost and need for backup depend on the model, outdoor temperature and your home.
Compare the work and equipment before selecting upgrades and requesting quotes.
Replacing a furnace or air conditioner, moving away from oil, or adding cooling to a baseboard-heated home starts with a building assessment.
Multiplex, strata and business projects need a building-specific assessment. The residential rebate tables below do not establish business or whole-building eligibility.
Start with the scope that suits your property, then compare written proposals using the same assumptions. These are project options, not a catalogue of available models or a promise of eligibility.
| Option | When to consider it | What to request |
|---|---|---|
| Ducted heat pump | Whole-home coverage where existing ducts can carry the required airflow. | Ask for a room-by-room load calculation, duct assessment and matched indoor/outdoor model identifiers. |
| Ductless or multi-zone | Homes without suitable ducts, additions or rooms needing separate control. | Compare head placement, room coverage, condensate drainage and performance when several zones run. |
| Cold-climate and backup strategy | Compare winter capacity for either ducted or ductless systems; cold-climate is a performance category. | Request capacity at local design temperature, backup controls, electrical work, outdoor clearances and noise details. |
Matched model identifiers, winter capacity, backup, commissioning, electrical work, mounting and condensate management. Ask each provider to itemize equipment or materials, labour, extras, permits, exclusions, warranty and responsibility for rebate documents. Confirm eligible equipment, pre-approval and stacking with the program administrator before signing.
Budget separately: project cost → confirmed grant support → remaining cost. Any borrowing is repayable, with its own interest, fees and approval. Unconfirmed rebates are not awarded savings.
Existing usable ducts can make a central heat pump practical. A home without ducts may suit one or more ductless indoor heads. Neither layout is automatically best: the installer should calculate room loads and explain how heat and cooling will reach rooms with closed doors.
Request a room-by-room load calculation using an appropriate Canadian design method such as CSA F280, followed by model selection at the local winter design condition. Floor area or the old furnace’s rating alone does not establish the heat pump size. Envelope improvements can change the load.
Cold-climate models can operate at lower outdoor temperatures than standard equipment, but operating temperature is not the same as full heating capacity. Compare the model’s output with the home’s load. The installer should explain the balance point, defrost behavior and whether electric or fuel-fired backup is needed.
Equipment size, duct changes or indoor-head count, electrical work, outdoor mounting, permits and removal of old equipment all affect a quote. Ask for itemized scopes before comparing prices. A service load assessment determines whether a new circuit, load management, panel work or a utility service upgrade is needed.
Use an electrical assessment for the new heat pump and any planned EV charging. For oil conversions, include safe tank removal. Compare gross installation cost, confirmed rebates and financing cost separately.
These records explicitly cover heat pumps. Amounts depend on income, existing fuel, utility, equipment and approval timing. Municipal offers apply only in the named municipality. Upcoming and closed programs are shown separately from open offers; do not add advertised maxima together without written stacking confirmation.

It also identifies the party obtaining rebate approval. Contractor participation in a rebate program and Solenery marketplace availability are separate checks.
Start with public guidance and a property check. Confirm your property and choose upgrades before requesting quotes from installers serving your area. Availability varies; Solenery does not install equipment or decide government eligibility.

Answers checked against government and official program pages.
The National Heat Pump Rebate is upcoming. Applications open in early 2027. Qualifying installations from November 1, 2026 enter the retroactivity period; eligibility rules still apply. Further details are due November 1. $2,000 for eligible households, or up to $10,000 for eligible low- to median-income households; income thresholds await detailed rules. No pre- or post-installation energy audit is required under this announced program; local programs may differ. Existing heat-pump replacement, final model eligibility and installer participation must be checked against the detailed rules when published.
Official federal updateSolenery helps you find relevant programs, understand how to apply and compare heat-pump options. After property confirmation and upgrade selection, you can request installation quotes and compare them as installers respond; local availability varies.

About personalized matchingThe administrator decides eligibility and stacking. Confirm who submits each application—you or your provider—and obtain any required approval before work. Keep itemized quotes, eligible model evidence, invoices and receipts. Solenery does not automatically apply or reserve funding, and program maxima cannot simply be added together.
Review program conditionsRequest the same scope from each provider: matched model identifiers, winter capacity, backup, commissioning, electrical work, mounting and condensate management, plus labour, extras, permits, warranty, exclusions and who prepares rebate documents. Compare confirmed support separately from project cost and repayable loans.
Compare project optionsYes. A reversible heat pump supplies heating and cooling. Whole-home comfort still depends on sizing and distribution: one ductless head does not automatically condition every closed room.
No. Compare the selected model’s low-temperature output with the home’s design heating load. Some projects need supplemental heat and a documented control strategy.
It depends on the program. Some offers target a switch from other heating and exclude replacement heat pumps. Confirm the existing-equipment and model rules before ordering.
No. As checked October 23, 2026, applications are expected in early 2027. The announced retroactivity period starts November 1, 2026 for eligible installations; final eligibility and equipment rules still apply.
Do not assume so. Each program has its own stacking, eligible-cost and approval rules. Obtain confirmation from the relevant administrators before budgeting a combined amount.
