What Calgary homeowners can claim
Alberta's rebate landscape is fragmented across utilities and financing programs rather than one province-wide system. All amounts below are in Canadian dollars.
🔥 Heat Pump
We couldn't find a current published heat pump rebate from ENMAX, ATCO or EPCOR in September 2026, and Alberta has no provincial heat pump rebate. Ask your utility before you buy, and look at CEIP financing where your city offers it.
☀️ Solar
We found no current solar rebate from the province or from ENMAX, EPCOR or FortisAlberta in September 2026. Net metering credits and CEIP financing (where open) are the main help. Net metering is your other main financial mechanism.
🔌 Battery Storage
No dedicated battery storage incentive currently exists in Alberta.
🌡️ Insulation
Via CEIP. We found no current utility insulation rebate. CMHC Eco Plus (a partial mortgage insurance premium refund) may also apply.
💧 Water Heater
No flat rebate. Available through CEIP financing or utility-specific offers from ATCO, EPCOR, or ENMAX.
🟩 Windows & Doors
May qualify for CEIP financing as part of a broader envelope upgrade, but no standalone rebate.
🚘 EV Charger
No confirmed residential EV charger rebate in Alberta as of 2026.
🌡️ Smart Thermostat
No standalone grant, though CEIP-financed HVAC upgrades sometimes include one.
💨 HRV / Ventilation
No standalone rebate, but CEIP financing covers HVI-certified HRV/ERV as an eligible upgrade.
💾 Appliances
No dedicated Enmax or Alberta appliance rebate as of 2026.
Rebate finder, by category
Filter Calgary's real programs by category. Most of what's below is a utility-specific incentive or a financing tool, not a flat provincial rebate — cards are labeled financing where that applies.
Heat pump (no confirmed utility rebate)
We couldn't find a current published heat pump rebate from ENMAX, ATCO or EPCOR in September 2026, and Alberta has no provincial heat pump rebate. Ask your utility before you buy, and look at CEIP financing where your city offers it.
Solar (no rebate found)
We found no current solar rebate from the province or from ENMAX, EPCOR or FortisAlberta in September 2026. Net metering credits and CEIP financing (where open) are the main help. Net metering is your other main financial mechanism.
CEIP-financed insulation + utility rebates
Financing, not a check: CEIP lets you pay through your property tax bill at competitive rates. CMHC Eco Plus (a partial mortgage insurance premium refund) may also apply.
No flat rebate — CEIP financing only
No flat water heater rebate in Calgary or anywhere in Alberta. Available through CEIP financing or utility-specific offers from ATCO, EPCOR, or ENMAX.
No flat rebate — CEIP financing only
No cash rebate or grant for home battery storage in Alberta. CEIP will finance an eligible battery system (usually paired with solar) for up to $50,000, repaid through your property tax bill.
No flat rebate — CEIP financing only
No cash rebate for window replacement in Alberta. CEIP will finance ENERGY STAR-certified windows as part of an eligible efficiency package, up to $50,000 through property-tax repayment.
No confirmed EV charger rebate
No provincial or utility rebate for home EV chargers in Alberta. Alberta EVCP and federal ZEVIP funding only reaches businesses, condos, and municipalities — not single-family homeowners.
No standalone smart thermostat rebate
No standalone grant for smart thermostats. CEIP will only finance one as part of a larger eligible HVAC upgrade package, not on its own.
Full category guides are linked above for every program we track in Calgary — several show real financing paths (CEIP) rather than flat rebates. Also check the City of Calgary's Home Upgrades Program below — free upgrades for income-qualified households, currently waitlisted.
Calgary-specific: the Home Upgrades Program
Beyond the provincial patchwork, the City of Calgary's Home Upgrades Program offers free energy-efficiency upgrades to income-qualified Calgary residents, delivered at no cost by Kambo Energy Group on the city's behalf. As of 2026 the program is waitlisting new applications rather than accepting them immediately — worth getting on the list even if the wait is long, since it's genuinely free for eligible households rather than a rebate you pay into first.
CEIP: financing, not a rebate
The Clean Energy Improvement Program lets you finance eligible upgrades — solar, insulation, heat pumps — through your property tax bill at competitive interest rates. It's a genuinely useful tool for spreading cost over time, but don't confuse it with free money: you're still paying for the full upgrade, just at a lower rate than a typical loan.

Renting or living in a condo?
If you rent
The rebates above go to whoever owns the equipment, so as a tenant you can't use CEIP financing yourself — that's your landlord's call. If you want a heat pump or solar in your rental, point your landlord to this page; CEIP financing in particular is worth mentioning since it's repaid through the property tax bill rather than upfront cash.
If you own a condo unit
In-unit upgrades you're personally responsible for — a water heater, an in-suite heat pump — can generally still go through the same programs as any homeowner, as long as your condo board signs off on anything touching shared systems or the building exterior. CEIP is tied to a property tax account, so confirm with the CEIP administrator whether your unit qualifies on its own or only through the corporation.
If it's a whole-building retrofit
Honestly: Alberta's fragmented, utility-by-utility market doesn't have a confirmed dedicated multi-unit or condo-corporation rebate program the way some other provinces do. A condo board looking at a building-wide heat pump or solar project should contact ENMAX, ATCO, and the CEIP administrator directly to ask what, if anything, applies at the corporation level — rather than assume the per-unit numbers above scale up automatically.
Common questions
Is there a heat pump or furnace rebate in Calgary?
Not a cash rebate. Alberta has none, and we couldn't find a current published offer from ENMAX or ATCO in September 2026. CEIP can finance a heat pump, but Calgary's intake is closed until winter 2026/2027.
Is the Calgary resilient roofing rebate still available?
No. The City's $3,000 Resilient Roofing Rebate for impact-resistant roofs ended in 2022, and City staff did not recommend bringing it back when council reviewed it.
What is CEIP and how is it different from a rebate?
CEIP is a loan from the City, up to $50,000, that you repay with interest on your property tax bill over up to 20 years. A rebate is money you keep. Calgary's estimated CEIP rate is 6.00% to 6.10%.
Can I get free energy upgrades in Calgary?
If your income qualifies, yes. The City's Home Upgrades Program, delivered by Kambo Energy Group, installs upgrades like insulation, air sealing and furnaces for free. New applicants go on a waitlist.
