How Long To Receive My Greener Home Heat Pump Rebate in 2024?
January 2024 processing experience: At the time, we reported rebate processing of approximately six months and a gap-financing promotion of up to six months at 0 percent interest. These historical examples are not current processing estimates or financing terms, and do not establish how much of a new installation a rebate would cover. Ask AirZone for the terms currently available for your project.
Other Key Points:
- Actual intake closure: The federal Grant closed new intake in February 2024. Ontario HER+ stopped taking new applicants on February 5, 2024.
- Historical file deadlines: The one-year planning advice in this January 2024 article did not override the programs’ final deadlines. Existing-file questions should go to the program administrator or registered energy advisor.
- Historical audit-booking advice: This article originally encouraged early audit bookings before intake closed. Do not book an assessment expecting to enter these closed programs; check the requirements of the current program you intend to use.
- Historical rebate amounts: Ontario HER+ offered eligible heat-pump support of up to $6,500. The standalone federal Grant offered up to $5,000 across qualifying retrofits.
- Historical evaluation support: The federal Grant provided up to $600 toward the combined pre- and post-retrofit evaluations, subject to completing the required grant process. This did not guarantee full coverage of assessment costs.
Historical Recommendations Published in January 2024
Given these points, it’s crucial for homeowners to take immediate action. Booking an energy audit at the earliest is a vital first step. Following the audit, homeowners should promptly plan and execute any qualifying home improvements, such as the installation of heat pumps, to ensure they fall within the one-year window for rebate eligibility. Remember, the rebate processing time can be around six months, so factor this into your timelines. Also, given the popularity and imminent closure of the program, expect delays and plan accordingly.
