What you'll actually save each month
Alectra Utilities bills the electricity in Brampton, but the rate itself is set by the Ontario Energy Board and applies the same way across every Alectra territory and every other Ontario city — so the number that decides your payback period isn't a local secret, it's public and it's the same one your neighbours in Mississauga or Markham are working with.
- Electricity, OEB Regulated Price Plan (Nov 2025–Oct 2026): time-of-use rates run 9.8¢/kWh off-peak, 15.7¢/kWh mid-peak, 20.3¢/kWh on-peak, blending to an average of 12.8¢/kWh; tiered pricing is 12.0¢/kWh then 14.2¢/kWh past the monthly threshold. (Full OEB price report →)
- Natural gas (Enbridge): genuinely volatile and zone-dependent, revised every quarter — there's no honest flat figure to publish here. (Check the current Enbridge rate for your zone →)
The efficiency edge comes from the equipment itself: a modern cold-climate heat pump moves roughly 2.5 to 3.5 units of heat per unit of electricity consumed, its coefficient of performance. Against electric resistance heat that's an easy win every month; against gas, whether you come out ahead depends on the current Enbridge rate and how leaky or tight your particular house is.

Common questions
How much is the heat pump rebate in Brampton?
It depends on your current heating fuel. Enbridge Gas customers get up to $2,000 for an air-source heat pump or $3,000 for ground-source. If you heat with electric, oil, propane, or wood, you get up to $7,500 (air-source) or $12,000 (ground-source). This is the same structure across all of Ontario.
Is a heat pump worth it in Brampton's winters?
Yes. Brampton's 10-year (2015-2024) average January low sits at -8.3°C, with a coldest night on record of -28.9°C — both comfortably inside the roughly -25°C-and-below range a cold-climate model (the type the rebate requires) is built to handle without losing efficiency.
Do I need an energy assessment for the Brampton heat pump rebate?
No. The heat pump rebate is on the no-assessment track. You need a cold-climate model on the federal qualified list and your invoice.
Brampton Hydro is gone; Alectra is what's left
The old Brampton Hydro doesn't exist as its own company anymore. It was folded into Alectra Utilities in 2017 along with several other GTA-area utilities, part of the same merger that absorbed PowerStream and Enersource. Your rebate isn't affected by any of that history; it's set provincially. What the merger did change is scale: Alectra now serves well over a million customers across the region, with more standardized processes for things like panel-capacity approvals than a single-city utility typically runs. No Alectra-specific heat pump rebate has surfaced beyond the provincial program.
Brampton's winter low sits mid-pack for the GTA
Ten years of data (2015-2024) puts Brampton's average January low at -8.3°C, with a coldest night on record of -28.9°C. Both numbers fall comfortably inside what a cold-climate heat pump is built for. That class of equipment, the kind required for the rebate above, keeps working efficiently down to roughly -25°C or colder, and Brampton's numbers rarely test that limit.
What to do next
- Get two or three quotes from local heating contractors. Ask each one to do a room-by-room heat loss calculation, not a guess based on square feet.
- Make sure the model is a cold-climate air source (or ground source) heat pump on Natural Resources Canada's qualified list. The rebate requires it.
- No home energy assessment is needed for the heat pump rebate. Your contractor installs it, then you apply on homerenovationsavings.ca with your invoice.
- Keep the invoice showing the model number and size in tons. The rebate is paid per ton, so the size matters.
