These are flat, no-assessment rebates — the easiest tier of the Home Renovation Savings Program to claim. A Niagara Falls household replacing several appliances at once (say, a dryer, a cooktop, and a washer) can stack $200 + $150 + $75 = $425 without ever booking a home energy assessment.
No local top-up in Niagara Falls
We checked the City of Niagara Falls directly and found no municipal appliance rebate program. These provincial figures are the whole picture for Niagara Falls homeowners.
Which appliance to prioritize
Niagara Falls has a large stock of properties doing double duty as short-term rentals near the tourist core, where a dryer runs almost continuously between guest turnovers. That heavy-use case is exactly where the $200 heat pump dryer rebate pays off: it recirculates heat instead of exhausting it outdoors, using roughly half the electricity of a standard resistance dryer over a year of near-constant cycles. The tradeoff hosts should plan around is time, not efficiency: each load commonly takes well over two hours, which matters when you're turning a unit around same-day.
The $150 induction rebate is worth it for anyone who cooks at home often, but check your cookware first. Induction heats the pan directly through a magnetic field rather than heating a coil, so it boils water faster and the cooktop surface stays cooler, a real safety plus in a rental with guest turnover. It only works with magnetic cookware though, generally cast iron or certain stainless steel, so a starter set of aluminum pans left behind for guests likely won't heat at all.

Not every ENERGY STAR appliance clears this specific rebate's bar, so check the current qualified products list before you buy. Browse heat pump dryers at Home Depot → This is a rebate for replacing an existing electric appliance, not a discount for buying an extra fridge for a rental you're furnishing from scratch.
How to claim it
- Buy an eligible ENERGY STAR appliance from a participating retailer
- Take the instant rebate at checkout if offered, or
- Keep your receipt and submit the mail-in rebate form afterward

How much are appliance rebates in Niagara Falls?
They range from $25 to $200 depending on the appliance: heat pump dryer $200, induction cooktop/range $150, washer $75, fridge $50, freezer $50, and dishwasher $25. None of these require a home energy assessment.
Does Niagara Falls have its own appliance rebate on top of the provincial one?
No. We checked the City of Niagara Falls directly and found no municipal appliance program. Niagara Falls homeowners use the same provincial figures as the rest of Ontario.
Do Niagara Falls short-term rental owners qualify for appliance rebates?
Yes, as long as it's your residential property connected to Ontario's grid and you're replacing an existing electric appliance with a new one. This matters in Niagara Falls specifically because a large share of homes near the tourist core double as short-term rentals, and owners often replace a fridge or washer between guest bookings anyway.
Your utility: Niagara Peninsula Energy (NPEI)
Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc., known locally as NPEI, is the electricity distributor for Niagara Falls, not Alectra as some regional roundups assume — NPEI is jointly owned by the City of Niagara Falls and neighbouring municipalities and serves around 59,000 customers across the area. The appliance rebate above comes from a province-wide program, so which utility bills you doesn't change what you qualify for. Where it can matter: NPEI is who to contact about your home's electrical service capacity if an installer flags an upgrade, and who bills the electricity your new equipment uses once it's running. Check NPEI's own site → to confirm whether they're running any incentive of their own on top of the provincial rebate.
