Boost Your Home’s Efficiency with HVAC Upgrades: Simcoe Muskoka Home Comfort’s Guide to the Enbridge Gas Home Efficiency Rebate Program

As energy efficiency becomes a top priority for homeowners, Simcoe Muskoka Home Comfort is here to guide you through the new opportunities available with the Enbridge Gas Home Efficiency Rebate Program, effective from July 15, 2024. If you’re considering upgrading your HVAC system, this program offers valuable rebates to make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.

Why Upgrade Your HVAC System?

Upgrading your HVAC system is not just about staying comfortable—it's about optimizing energy use, reducing your carbon footprint, and saving money on energy bills. Modern heat pumps, in particular, offer excellent efficiency for both heating and cooling your home, and the Enbridge rebate program is designed to make these upgrades more affordable.

Heat Pump Rebates: Central Ducted and Ductless Systems

Heat pumps are a key component of an energy-efficient home. The Enbridge Gas program offers significant rebates for installing high-efficiency heat pumps, whether you choose a central ducted system or a ductless option. Here’s a breakdown of the available rebates based on the size of the heat pump:

• Cold Climate-Rated Heat Pumps:
  • 1 to <1.5 Ton: $500 rebate
  • 1.5 to <2 Ton: $750 rebate
  • 2 to <2.5 Ton: $1,000 rebate
  • 2.5 to <3 Ton: $1,250 rebate
  • 3 to <3.5 Ton: $1,500 rebate
  • 3.5 to <4 Ton: $1,750 rebate
  • 4 Ton or more: $2,000 rebate
• Energy Star Rated Heat Pumps:
  • 1 to <1.5 Ton: $250 rebate
  • 1.5 to <2 Ton: $375 rebate
  • 2 to <2.5 Ton: $500 rebate
