What Ontario pays for new appliances in Timmins
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.
Same rebate, colder house
The page asks the same of a Timmins household as of a Toronto one: a residential customer on the Ontario grid, an existing electric appliance and a new listed model. 65% of Timmins households live in detached houses and 67% own.
Hydro One
Our lookup shows Hydro One as the distributor, which serves a much wider area than the city utilities elsewhere on this list. Timmins postal codes begin with P, which the Energy Affordability Program lists.
Fridges and freezers at no cost
The Energy Affordability Program lists energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers among the items that comprehensive support can provide, along with LED bulbs, dehumidifiers and window air conditioners. It does not list washers or dryers, and its saving kits include no major appliances. Income limits run from $48,220 for one person to $96,439 for four, and Timmins postal codes are among those it covers. Call 1-844-770-3148 to ask.
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. Timmins households that already cook on an electric range are the clearest fit for the induction rebate.
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. Timmins households who buy during a sale should still confirm the model is on the list at the time they check out.
Most Efficient, not just ENERGY STAR
The rebate is for ENERGY STAR Most Efficient models, which the page describes as going beyond standard ENERGY STAR requirements. A fridge with the ordinary ENERGY STAR mark may not qualify. Each appliance has its own product list linked from the program page, so find the model number there before you pay, whether you buy in Timmins or online.
