The IESO has officially discontinued the Ontario CoolSaver HVAC rebate program for 2026, but Ottawa homeowners still have excellent options for affordable air conditioner maintenance. While the provincial tune-up grants have concluded because overall energy savings targets were not met across the province, AirZone HVAC Services—proudly ranked as the #1 CoolSaver performer in Ottawa for 2025—is offering a powerful direct alternative.
To bridge the gap, homeowners can now join the AirZone Family Membership event for an introductory rate of just $99, receiving comprehensive initial maintenance on two appliances and saving over $125 with absolutely zero cancellation fees.
The CoolSaver HVAC Rebate Has Ended: What Ottawa Homeowners Need to Know
At AirZone HVAC Services, we take pride in being your local home comfort authority, which means keeping you fully informed about every provincial and federal energy program available. For the past couple of years, the CoolSaver program (delivered by CLEAResult in partnership with the IESO’s Save on Energy initiative) has been an exceptional way for homeowners to save money on comprehensive air conditioner tune-ups.
Recently, we received official communication from the CoolSaver management team regarding the future of the initiative. Here is a transparent breakdown of the news, what it means for you, and a fantastic alternative we have put together to keep your home running efficiently this season.
Official Update: Why Was the CoolSaver Program Discontinued?
The decision to end the CoolSaver program did not come from local contractors; it was a provincial decision made by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).
According to the official update we received, the program has concluded because the overall energy savings targets were not met. While the program actually saw significant improvements and success from 2024 to 2025, the overarching goals set at the program’s inception fell short across the province. As a result, the IESO made the difficult decision to discontinue funding for 2026.
A Proud Moment: AirZone Ranked #1 in Ottawa
While it is always disappointing to see an incentive program end, the announcement came with an incredible silver lining for our team.
The CoolSaver management team released their final performance rankings for 2025. Out of 16 total participating HVAC contractors in the Ottawa region, AirZone HVAC Services was officially ranked as the #1 Top Performer.
We are incredibly proud of this achievement. It is a direct reflection of our certified technicians’ hard work in the field and our administrative team’s dedication to processing applications seamlessly. It proves that when we partner with a rebate program, we go all-in to ensure our customers receive the maximum benefit possible.
What This Means for Past Participants
If you participated in the CoolSaver program last year and were expecting a follow-up tune-up or communication this coming season, you do not need to worry about being left in the dark.
The delivery partners at CLEAResult have committed to contacting all affected customers directly to inform them of the program’s closure. If you have any questions about your past participation, you can refer to the communication sent by their team, or feel free to reach out to our office for clarification.
The Best Alternative for 2026: The AirZone Family Membership Event
The end of a provincial rebate does not change the fact that your HVAC equipment still needs proactive care. A dirty, neglected air conditioner costs significantly more to operate and is highly prone to expensive breakdowns during Ottawa’s brutal July heatwaves.
Because the CoolSaver rebate is no longer available, we decided to step up and offer an alternative that is honestly the absolute best option for the vast majority of our customers.
