What London homeowners can claim — no assessment needed

In 2026, a London homeowner can claim up to $12,000 for a heat pump, $10,000 for solar + battery combined, up to $1,250 for attic insulation, $125 for a smart thermostat, and up to $200 per appliance — on top of a separate assessment-required insulation/windows tier.

London runs on London Hydro electricity and Enbridge Gas. The province's Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) is identical here to the rest of Ontario — the same categories and tiers as Toronto and Ottawa.

Open

🔥 Heat Pump

$2,000–$12,000

Enbridge Gas customers switching from gas: up to $2,000 (air-source) or $3,000 (ground-source). Switching from electric, oil, propane, or wood: up to $7,500 (air-source) or up to $12,000 (ground-source).

Open

☀️ Solar Panels

up to $5,000

$1,000/kW, capped at 50% of total cost. Choose this rebate or net metering with London Hydro — not both.

Open

🌡️ Smart Thermostat

$125

Open

📦 Appliances

$25–$200

Heat pump dryer $200, induction cooktop/range $150, washer $75, fridge $50, freezer $50, dishwasher $25.

Honest math for London

A typical household stacking a heat pump with solar or battery nets $4,000–$17,000 in direct rebates — identical to Toronto and Ottawa, since this is a provincial program.

We could not confirm a hard expiry date for these programs on the official site as of this writing — check homerenovationsavings.ca directly before relying on any deadline you see elsewhere (several third-party HVAC sites repeat a Nov 30, 2026 date that we could not verify on the official program page).

Bigger renovation, bigger rebates

Assessment-required rebates — the deep-retrofit tier

Same structure as the rest of Ontario: a home energy assessment (about $600, refunded as a rebate), at least two qualifying upgrades, and an extra $500 bonus for completing three or more.

Attic insulation pays more if you bundle it here

Local context

Your utilities

London Hydro (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)

Typical heating

Mostly natural gas

Most London homes heat with gas furnaces, putting a heat pump switch in the lower HRSP tier.

Permits & timeline

6–10 weeks quote to installation for solar, faster for a heat pump swap. City building permit + ESA electrical inspection where required.

Not every London homeowner owns a detached house

Renting or living in a condo? Here's what actually applies to you

Everything above assumes you own your home outright and control the whole building. Here's what changes if you rent or live in a condo in London:

If you rent

The structural rebates above — heat pump, insulation, windows, solar, battery — attach to the property, so they go to whoever owns it, not to you. If you want one of these upgrades, the ask has to go to your landlord; point them to this page and the official homerenovationsavings.ca program details. Some smaller rebates, like the smart thermostat rebate, may not require proof of ownership at purchase — but confirm eligibility for your specific situation with the program directly before assuming.

If you own a condo unit

In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a heat pump water heater, in-suite windows — may qualify for the rebates above, but usually need your condo board's written approval first, especially for anything touching shared systems or exterior walls. Get that approval documented before applying; the HRSP program requires proof the work was authorized.

If it's a whole-building retrofit

A heat pump, insulation, or solar project for the whole building is a group decision that goes through your condo board or property manager, not individual owners, and the per-unit rebate math is likely different from the single-family figures on this page. This page doesn't have confirmed multi-unit numbers for London — your board should contact the HRSP program directly at homerenovationsavings.ca to confirm what applies to a multi-unit building.
