Common questions
What rebates cover water heaters in Ottawa?
Ontario's program rebates heat pump water heaters under the same Home Renovation Savings framework as heat pumps. Confirm the current amount with your installer, since these figures change more often than the headline heat pump numbers.
Are tankless water heaters rebated in Ottawa?
Standard tankless (on-demand) gas water heaters generally aren't rebated — the program is built around heat pump water heaters specifically.
