Heat pumps are supported by federal, provincial and municipal programs. Amounts usually depend on the model installed, your current heating fuel and your household — here's what's available in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Rebates are money back after eligible work. Financing is a loan you repay. Final eligibility is always decided by the program administrator.
