Planning a heat pump installation in Oshawa, or just trying to make your home more energy efficient? This page covers every energy rebate in Oshawa in one place.
Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Oshawa home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Oshawa 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.
Oshawa runs on Oshawa Power 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 Oshawa Power — 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.
A regional program (covering Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and Clarington) administered by Windfall Ecology Centre: free expert home energy coaching, a Deep Retrofit Rebate of up to $10,000 for cutting your home's greenhouse gas emissions, and loan financing options through local Rapport and Pathwise credit unions.
Oshawa Power (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Mostly natural gas
Most Oshawa 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 on this page assume you own the home outright and control the whole building. That's not everyone in Oshawa. Here's what changes if you rent or live in a condo:
The HRSP rebates above go to whoever pays for and owns the upgrade — typically your landlord, not you. If you want a heat pump, insulation, or solar added to the property, the ask has to go to your landlord; point them to this page and the official homerenovationsavings.ca program page so they can apply directly.
In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a heat pump water heater, a smart thermostat, in-suite windows — may still qualify for the HRSP rebates above, but anything touching shared systems or the building's exterior typically needs your condo board's written approval first. Get that approval before applying, since the rebate paperwork can ask for proof the work was authorized.
Heat pumps, insulation, or solar for an entire building are a group decision that goes through the condo board rather than an individual owner. Durham Greener Homes is described above as a residential loan program; this page doesn't establish whether it extends to condo corporations or multi-unit buildings, so a condo board should confirm directly before assuming it applies. The safest first step for a board is the official HRSP program finder above, or contacting the program directly to ask what a multi-unit building qualifies for before assuming the single-family numbers on this page apply.
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.
Yes — Oshawa is covered by Durham Greener Homes, a regional program offering free energy coaching, a Deep Retrofit Rebate of up to $10,000, and loan financing through local credit unions.
Most Oshawa homes are on Oshawa Power for electricity and Enbridge Gas for natural gas.
