A New Opportunity to Save on Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Rising energy costs and outdated home systems can make it difficult to maintain comfort and affordability. Many homeowners feel stuck, unsure how to upgrade without breaking the bank. Fortunately, the newly launched Home Renovation Savings Program provides financial relief, making it easier than ever to invest in energy-efficient solutions like heat pumps.

What Is the Home Renovation Savings Program?

The Home Renovation Savings Program is a provincial government-backed initiative designed to help homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient systems. Replacing the Canada Greener Homes Initiative, this new program offers more tailored rebates based on specific equipment choices.

Key Features of the Program:

• $9 billion commitment over 10 years to support home energy efficiency.
• Rebates based on equipment type rather than a flat rate.
• Expanded eligibility, with propane customers able to apply by early March.
• No home assessment required for heat pump installations, simplifying the process.

This program is a game-changer for homeowners looking to enhance their home comfort while lowering energy costs.

Why This Program Matters for Homeowners

Upgrading home heating and cooling systems can be expensive, leaving many homeowners hesitant to invest in new technology. The Home Renovation Savings Program bridges this gap by making high-efficiency solutions more affordable.

Benefits of Participating:

1. Lower upfront costs – The rebate covers the cost difference between a traditional air conditioner and a heat pump.
2. Ongoing energy savings – Heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling, reducing energy bills year-round.
3. Improved home comfort – Maintain consistent temperatures and better air quality.
4. Future-proof your home – Energy-efficient systems increase property value and sustainability.

With financial support now available, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.

How Heat Pumps Fit into the New Program

Heat pumps are a standout option in this program, offering both heating and cooling in a single unit. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, making them significantly more energy-efficient.

Heat Pump Rebates and Benefits:

• Covers the cost difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump
• Works efficiently in all seasons
• No pre- or post-installation home assessments required
• Applies to homes using electricity or natural gas (propane eligibility coming soon)

This means that homeowners can upgrade to a heat pump for about the same cost as an air conditioner while enjoying greater energy savings year-round.

Additional Home Efficiency Upgrades Included

While heat pumps are a major focus, the Home Renovation Savings Program also supports a variety of other home efficiency improvements.

Eligible Upgrades:

• Geothermal heat pumps – Harness the earth’s natural energy for sustainable heating and cooling.
• Heat pump water heaters – Efficiently heat water while using less electricity.
• Insulation and windows – Enhance your home’s thermal performance.

For many of these upgrades, a home energy assessment is required, ensuring you get the maximum rebate possible.
