    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!

    Brady made this entire process painless. He was polite, friendly and efficient. He took time to explain what would be happening and took pictures so that I could see the changes (very thoughtful as I am mobility challenged). The use of booties and even a red carpet on my basement stairs to ensure there would be no mess for me to clean up was much appreciated. There was no pressure from Fred, the salesman, in any decision making and they were able to give me an appointment fairly quickly. Many thanks to all involved. I would definitely recommend MacKay Heating and Cooling.

    I found McKay’s at the St Catharines Home Show back in 2014. We picked them because they were knowledgeable on the subject heat pumps – they installed a new furnace and heat pump for us a few months later – and we have been dealing with them ever since. Everyone we have dealt with has been extremely nice and more importantly, they all go out of their way to provide top quality service. It has been a pleasure dealing with everyone at MacKay Heating & Cooling, with much appreciation.

    I contacted Mackay Heating & Cooling for a quote on a new hot water tank. Tyler arrived at our home within an hour and was very friendly and professional. He provided a detailed quote at no charge, which we really appreciated.

    We decided to move forward with the installation, and Chris and Zack came the next day. They removed the old tank and installed the new one within a few hours. The whole process was smooth and efficient.

    We’re very pleased with their work and the excellent service from the entire team. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable heating and cooling services.

    I called at 930 pm for an emergency service call. The young man was very polite and thorough on the phone. He arrived on time. He explained clearly what he had done to assess the problem. Diagnosed and fixed the issue within an hour. Super personable and very professional. I highly recommend this company.

    After doing initial research, found MacKay Heating & Cooling was top of recommended local companies for tankleess hotwater , HVAC service, installation and maintenance. After meeting with Fred for quotation, i was impressed with experience and knowledge. This convinced me to go with them. When I phoned office to accept quote, the friendly office personnel quickly provided helpful service and advised a install date with expected time of arrival on date. On day of install a text message was sent by tech to advise they were on their way. The first tech Dave arrived at 8:03 to layout floor mats on exposed floor so they could not cause any mess while coming and going. As well to start drain of existing tank. Chris showed up shortly after and the removal of old and install went very well. A highly professional crew and final result was exceptional, piping for water, venting, natural gas and drainage were clean and square.
    I highly recommend MacKay’s team of professionals.

    One of those absolutely perfect service calls. A job extremely well done with a very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant technician. And as well a very pleasant and knowledgeable person at the end of the phone line when I booked this. The quoted price when booking over the phone was exactly what I ended up paying.I highly recommend MacKay heating and cooling and the technician David.
