Heat pump rebates in Windsor

Last checked 2026-11-01

Short answer: Windsor homeowners can get the federal National Heat Pump Rebate: $2,000, or up to $10,000 if after-tax household income is at or below the Ontario threshold ($46,981 for one person, $146,217 for a family of four). Ontario also has provincial offers.

What's different about Windsor

Windsor has among the mildest winters and hottest summers in Ontario, so a heat pump's cooling side gets a lot of use.

Southern Ontario has cold winters with frequent thaws and hot, humid summers, a climate where a cold-climate heat pump can cover most of the heating season and replace an air conditioner.
