2017 Furnace & Air Conditioning Rebates Ontario
Furnace Air Conditioning Rebates Criteria
This article is strictly informative. All up to date furnace and air conditioning rebates, eligibility and amounts must be checked through governing bodies. Ontario furnace air conditioning rebates can be changed any time once the program reaches it’s maximum spending budget.
To offset the upfront cost of heating and cooling systems the Canadian government has set out several furnace air conditioning rebates programs. These government heating and cooling incentives are meant to increase energy efficiency. The furnace air conditioning rebates are delivered by Enbridge Gas Distribution in partnership with the Government of Ontario and Save on Energy (IESO).
There are currently two types of rebate programs available in Ontario.
One of the programs running is called the Home Energy Conservation Program offered through Enbridge and Union Gas. This program asks homeowners to renovate an existing home to increase the overall efficiency. For instance, adding insulation will increase the home’s efficiency rating. Once your home achieves 15% annual fuel savings with upgrading at least two of the original recommended home energy upgrades than you qualify for a rebate of up to $1,600 dollars in incentives from the gas company. To qualify you must have a home inspection done prior to upgrading and a post inspection once upgrades are done.
The second program is called Save On Energy “Heating and Cooling Incentives” has been offered for sometimes now. However the eligibility has been set to a higher efficiency rating under the new program. This program is offered through IESO offers up to $850 dollars rebates on upgrading to high efficiency furnace and air conditioning that meets the program’s standards. The Save On Energy programs is available for those who just want to upgrade their heating and cooling systems.
