The Canada Greener Homes Grant no longer accepts new applications. Many older guides still describe its evaluation and submission process as if it were available. For a new heat-pump project in Ontario, check the current Home Renovation Savings program rather than following those former federal-grant steps.
Why old application guides are misleading
A past program’s eligible equipment, funding amounts and paperwork do not automatically carry over to a new program. Even a current contractor listing does not establish that a particular home or model qualifies. Use the official program page for today’s conditions and confirm them before equipment is ordered.
Start with the current Ontario source
The Home Renovation Savings heat-pump directory lists Furnace King for ductless and centrally ducted cold-climate air-source systems. Check the linked program terms for the exact eligible equipment and home requirements. Ground-source systems should not be inferred from Furnace King’s directory listing.
Choose the system before estimating any incentive
A heat-pump decision should begin with the home’s heating and cooling needs, existing furnace and ducts, electrical capacity and proposed backup heat. Compare a written scope for each suitable option. If you keep a gas connection in a hybrid setup, include its fixed charges when comparing operating costs. Bills depend on your equipment, energy use and utility rates; a fixed percentage saving is not a reliable promise.
Ask for a written project and eligibility check
Request the model number, installed price, included electrical or ductwork changes, and any program documents the contractor expects to provide. Then verify the current rules with the program. Keep an estimate before rebates so the decision still makes sense if an incentive is unavailable.
Continue the comparison
Furnace King’s heat-pump services page describes the available system types. Use it to start a system discussion, then check any incentive claim against the current official program terms.
