Planning a heat pump installation in Vaughan, or just trying to make your home more energy efficient? This page covers every energy rebate in Vaughan in one place.
Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Vaughan home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Vaughan 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.
Vaughan runs on Alectra Utilities 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 Alectra Utilities — 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.
Vaughan doesn't have a Toronto-style municipal loan program. The City offers the Climate Ready Homes Program — free consultations covering energy use, water, and available rebates, not financing — plus a small geographically-limited pilot (the Thornhill SNAP Home Retrofit Pilot) for homeowners in a specific area east of Bathurst, west of Yonge, north of Steeles, and south of Highway 407. Outside that small area, the provincial HRSP stack below is what's actually available.
Alectra Utilities (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Mostly natural gas
Most Vaughan 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 a detached or freehold home and control the whole building. Vaughan has a lot of newer condo and high-rise stock, especially around the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre — here's what changes if you rent or live in a condo:
You can't claim the structural HRSP rebates (heat pump, insulation, windows, solar) — those go to whoever owns the property. The smart thermostat rebate and small appliance rebates above may still be open to you if you're the one buying the appliance. For the bigger upgrades, the ask has to go to your landlord.
In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a smart thermostat, an in-suite appliance, sometimes an in-unit heat pump water heater — may qualify for the rebates above with your building's approval, usually required for anything touching shared systems or exterior walls. Get that approval in writing before applying.
Heat pumps, insulation, and solar for a whole condo building go through the condo board as a group decision rather than the single-family HRSP path on this page — the process and amounts differ, and your condo board or property manager applies, not individual owners. Vaughan's Climate Ready Homes Program free consultation is a reasonable starting point for a board weighing options.
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.
Vaughan offers free consultations through its Climate Ready Homes Program, plus a small geographically-limited pilot (Thornhill SNAP) for a specific neighbourhood — neither is a citywide loan or rebate like Toronto's HELP. Most Vaughan homeowners rely on the standard provincial HRSP stack.
Most Vaughan homes are on Alectra Utilities for electricity and Enbridge Gas for natural gas.
