Planning a heat pump installation in Burlington, or just trying to make your home more energy efficient? This page covers every energy rebate in Burlington in one place.
Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Burlington home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Burlington homeowner can claim up to $12,000 for a heat pump, $10,000 for solar + battery combined, up to $1,250 for attic insulation, $100 for a smart thermostat, and up to $200 per appliance — on top of a separate assessment-required insulation/windows tier.
Burlington runs on Burlington Hydro electricity and Enbridge Gas. The province's Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) is identical here to the rest of Ontario — the same categories and tiers as Toronto and Ottawa.
Enbridge Gas customers switching from gas: up to $2,000 (air-source) or $3,000 (ground-source). Switching from electric, oil, propane, or wood: up to $7,500 (air-source) or up to $12,000 (ground-source).
$1,000/kW, capped at 50% of total cost. Choose this rebate or net metering with Burlington Hydro — not both.
$300/kWh, capped at 50% of cost. Stacks with the solar rebate for up to $10,000 combined.
Amount scales with your starting R-value: up to $1,250 from ≤R-12, $1,000 from R-12–25, $800 from R-25–35.
Instant rebate before you buy, or mail-in after. Eligible brands: ecobee, Google Nest, Honeywell Home, Copeland Sensi, Mysa, and Sinopé.
Heat pump dryer $200, induction cooktop/range $150, washer $75, fridge $50, freezer $50, dishwasher $25.
A typical household stacking a heat pump with solar or battery nets $4,000–$17,000 in direct rebates — identical to Toronto and Ottawa, since this is a provincial program.
We could not confirm a hard expiry date for these programs on the official site as of this writing — check homerenovationsavings.ca directly before relying on any deadline you see elsewhere (several third-party HVAC sites repeat a Nov 30, 2026 date that we could not verify on the official program page).
Same structure as the rest of Ontario: a home energy assessment (about $600, refunded as a rebate), at least two qualifying upgrades, and an extra $500 bonus for completing three or more.
To at least R-20 across 100% of exterior wall area.
Plus Basement Slab (up to $500) and Foundation Header (up to $300) as separate, smaller sub-categories.
Crawlspace wall up to $1,200, plus crawlspace ceiling up to $1,200 — two separate measures.
Per rough opening replaced with an eligible ENERGY STAR window or door.
Replaces a gas, electric, or oil tank.
Draftproofing your home's envelope, verified by the before/after assessment.
Attic and cathedral-ceiling insulation are available on the no-assessment path above (up to $1,250 / $750), but the same work pays more if bundled into this assessment-required tier instead: up to $1,500 for attic and $780 for cathedral ceiling/flat roof.
Burlington previously ran Better Homes Burlington, an interest-free loan program for home energy retrofits. As of official sources checked for this page, that program has ended and is not accepting new applicants — homeowners who already received loan approval can continue their projects, but new applicants can't join. The City received funding for a feasibility study on a future program, but nothing new is confirmed live yet.
Burlington Hydro (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Mostly natural gas
Most Burlington homes heat with gas furnaces, putting a heat pump switch in the lower HRSP tier.
6–10 weeks quote to installation for solar, faster for a heat pump swap. City building permit + ESA electrical inspection where required.
Most of the rebate figures above assume you own a detached or freehold home and control the whole building. That's not every Burlington household. Here's what changes if you rent or live in a condo.
The structural HRSP rebates — heat pump, insulation, windows & doors, air sealing — are paid through a contractor application tied to the home and its owner, so those go to your landlord, not you. The smaller purchase-based items on this page, like the $100 smart thermostat rebate and the $25–$200 appliance rebates, are tied to buying the product itself — check the official homerenovationsavings.ca terms to confirm whether you personally qualify to claim one as a tenant. If you want the bigger upgrades, the ask has to go to your landlord — point them to this page.
In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a heat pump water heater, an in-suite heat pump, in-suite windows — may qualify for the rebates above, but anything touching shared systems or the building's exterior typically needs your condo corporation's written approval first, since HRSP applications require proof the work was authorized.
Burlington's own municipal loan program, Better Homes Burlington, is closed to new applicants (see Local Programs above), so a condo board planning a whole-building heat pump, insulation, or solar retrofit in Burlington today would work through the standard provincial HRSP process rather than a dedicated multi-unit stream. Your condo board or property manager would need to apply, not individual owners.
It depends on the heat pump type and your current fuel. Enbridge Gas customers switching from gas get up to $2,000 for an air-source unit or $3,000 for ground-source. Households switching from electricity, oil, propane, or wood get up to $7,500 for air-source or up to $12,000 for ground-source. This is the same provincial HRSP structure as the rest of Ontario.
Not currently. Burlington previously ran Better Homes Burlington, an interest-free loan program, but it has ended and isn't accepting new applicants — only homeowners already approved can continue. The City has funding for a feasibility study on a future program, but nothing new is live yet.
Most Burlington homes are on Burlington Hydro for electricity and Enbridge Gas for natural gas.
