What Ontario pays for new appliances in Brampton
We re-read the program's appliance page on October 4, 2026. The rebates are province-wide, so the amounts are the same in every city, and the rules about what you replace and which model you buy are what decide a claim.
Heat pump clothes dryer
The largest of the six appliance rebates, for a new ENERGY STAR Most Efficient heat pump dryer replacing an electric dryer.
Induction cooktop or range
For a new induction cooktop or range on the program's product list, replacing an existing electric one.
Washing machine
For a new ENERGY STAR Most Efficient washer on the program list.
Fridge
For a new ENERGY STAR Most Efficient refrigerator replacing an existing electric one.
Freezer
For a new ENERGY STAR Most Efficient freezer on the list.
Dishwasher
For a new ENERGY STAR Most Efficient dishwasher on the list.
Who can claim
A residential customer on the Ontario grid with an existing electric appliance in need of replacing. Cornwall Electric customers are excluded.
Free route
Income-qualified households can get energy-efficient fridges and freezers at no charge, along with other upgrades.

The appliance page states no end date, so confirm it is still open before you buy.
Where owners usually start
96,015 Brampton households live in detached houses. For an owner, the sensible places to start are the appliances already near the end of their life and the heat pump dryer, which pays $200 and is the largest of the six.
Alectra Utilities and the Ontario grid
The page asks for a residential customer on the Ontario grid. Alectra Utilities is Brampton's distributor, and Cornwall is the only area the page excludes. Brampton postal codes begin with L, which the Energy Affordability Program lists for the free fridge and freezer route.
Replace, do not add
The program page asks for an existing electric appliance in need of replacing. A new fridge to go in a spare corner, or an induction range where the kitchen had no range, is not a replacement. If you are switching from gas to an electric appliance, the page does not say whether that counts, so ask the program before you buy. Brampton households that already cook on an electric range are the clearest fit for the induction rebate.
When replacing makes sense
About 23% of Brampton's 182,470 households live in homes built before 1981. Age of the house tells you little about the age of the fridge, and a working appliance rarely pays back a swap through a $25 to $200 rebate alone. The rebate suits a replacement you already need to make.
Buy new, then upload the receipt
Buy a new appliance from any retailer, then upload the receipt on the program page within 60 days of purchase. Used and refurbished units do not qualify. Keep the receipt, the model number and the delivery date together. Brampton households who buy during a sale should still confirm the model is on the list at the time they check out.
What kind of home
Unlike the thermostat rebate, the appliance page lists no home type. It asks for a residential customer on the Ontario grid. It does not address condos or apartments directly, so a Brampton condo owner or tenant should confirm with the program. 22% of Brampton households rent, and a tenant should ask the landlord before swapping a fridge or range that came with the unit.
How to claim in Brampton
- Check that the appliance you are replacing is electric and that you are on the Ontario grid.
- Find a new model on the program's ENERGY STAR Most Efficient list for that appliance.
- Buy it new from any retailer and keep the receipt.
- Upload the receipt on the program page within 60 days of purchase.
- If your household income is under the limits, call 1-844-770-3148 about free fridges and freezers first.
