Older advice about applying for the Canada Greener Homes Grant can send homeowners through steps that no longer accept new applications. The federal grant is closed. If a heat pump is part of your renovation plan, start with current Ontario program information and a written installation scope instead of an archived application checklist.
Separate the former grant from current options
The former federal grant and Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings program are different. A contractor directory entry, old rebate chart or past application story does not establish that your project qualifies today. Check the official Ontario heat-pump directory and program rules for the current pathway.
Check the exact project
Before choosing equipment, identify the proposed model, current heating system, home type and installation scope. Ask which of these details the program requires and who will confirm them. Furnace King is listed in the directory for ductless and centrally ducted cold-climate air-source systems, but that listing does not approve every model or homeowner.
Compare the cost without a promised rebate
Get a written installed price that separates the equipment from any electrical, ductwork or backup-heat work. Ask what the project would cost if a rebate is unavailable. This lets you compare a heat pump, hybrid system and gas-furnace option on the same basis. If an installer mentions an incentive, ask for the current official rule and the exact equipment it covers.
Keep a simple decision file
Save the current program page, the equipment model number, your written quote and any eligibility communication. Requirements may change, and the official program is the authority for application steps. A short, current file is more useful than following an old Greener Homes Grant timeline.
Next step
Review Furnace King’s heat-pump services if you want to compare system options for your home. Ask for a written scope and check program eligibility before relying on a rebate.
