    FAQs: Home Renovation Savings Program

    What is the Home Renovation Savings™ Program?

    On January 7, 2025, the Government of Ontario announced 14 new and expanded energy efficiency programs, including the Home Renovation Savings™ Program. Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, with endorsement from the Ontario government, have partnered to launch this new program to help Ontarians improve their home efficiency and comfort. Whether you heat your home with natural gas or electricity, this new program will offer rebates for energy-efficient upgrades like heat pumps, smart thermostats, and more.

    It depends on what the primary source of heat is for your home. If you are an Enbridge customer, you can receive up to $2,000 in rebates OR if your primary heat source is electric heat, then you can receive up to $7,500 in rebates. Both rebates are based on the size of the cold climate heat pump installed and require the installing contractor to complete a size and selection analysis of your home to ensure a proper fit of any new equipment. Please note these rebates only apply to new installs only and replacement of existing heat pumps will not qualify.

    This depends on many factors including the size of your home, number of windows, the current size of ductwork in your home, among other factors. On average, a cold climate heat pump installation can cost anywhere from $7,000 to $10,000 again depending on the size required and other factors mentioned above. Call us and we will send a MacKay Heating & Cooling Home Comfort Advisor to your home to determine the right size of unit for your home and budget! 

    The cold climate air source heat pump system must be capable of distributing hot air in the winter and cold air in the summer throughout the entire conditioned space in your home and meet Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations. A MacKay Heating & Cooling Home Comfort Advisor will be able to recommend the right sized equipment to comfortably heat and cool your home. 

    A MacKay Heating & Cooling Home Comfort Advisor will make sure your heat pump is listed as eligible and compatible with the list of qualified products listed by the Natural Resources Canada guidelines as required by the program.

    All primary and non-primary residences qualify; owner must be the applicant. Detached, semi-detached, row, and mobile homes on a permanent foundation are eligible.

    Unlike previous heat pump rebate programs NO HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENT IS REQUIRED! A cold climate air source heat pump is considered a single upgrade under the program rules and can be completed without a Home Energy Assessment. This is great news which will save Ontarians time and money and expediate the time it takes to receive the rebate!

    Yes! MacKay Heating & Cooling is a trusted provider of leading technology and energy-efficient heat pumps, furnaces, mini-split systems, and other HVAC equipment from world-class manufacturers such as Trane, Goodman, York, Mitsubishi, among others. Serving the Niagara Region, as a requirement of this rebate program we are required to complete all application paperwork for you so that you can take full advantage of these financial incentives and our Home Comfort Advisors will guide you through the process of selecting the right cold climate heat pump for your home.  

    According to Enbridge and Save on Energy, rebates will be processed and cheques will be mailed out 30-60 days from the date the application is received. 

    Yes! MacKay Heating & Cooling has partnered with Financeit who offers best in class consumer financing programs with promotions such as 0% interest and no payments for 3 months. This can be a great way to bridge finance your heating and cooling upgrade while you wait for the rebate to arrive.

    Yes. Our Home Comfort Advisors can provide you with information and pricing regarding additional upgrades such hot water tanks, mini-split ductless systems, gas furnaces and other equipment not covered under the cold climate air sourced heat pump rebate but will enable you to bundle equipment for better pricing and even better home comfort!

    We have used MacKay Heating since purchasing our home 15 years ago. We have used them to replace our furnace and air conditioner as well as maintenance calls. We have always been very satisfied with their service and response to issues. I’d highly recommend them.

    From start to finish, the service was great. The two guys who were here were very polite and cleaned the area after they finished. We have been dealing with this company for 24 years. They installed our first furnace in 2001 and have maintained the furnace all throughout this period. I will recommend them again and again.

    This is my 1st experience with MacKay heating . After my regular service company responded , in late October , to my request to perform my annual furnace maintenance service in November . Sorry , we have not started to book November yet was the response . This was the same company I purchased my new furnace from 3 years ago , and this year measured up for a new Air Conditioner and never provided a price . ‘ HOW DO SOME COMPANIES STAY IN BUSINESS ?
    MacKay was different . They were immediately on the ball . Most cooperative , friendly and professional in customer relations
    In this instance , SERVICE WITHIN 1 WEEK . The service technician was equally personable and a REAL PROFESSIONAL .
    As a former Metal Manufacturing business owner and Mechanical / Aeronautical Engineer . I appreciate a company who puts the customer 1st . and knows their stuff .
    I would not hesitate recommending MacKay Heating & Cooling for your HVAC requirements . An 11 out of 10 .
