Planning a heat pump installation in Timmins, or just trying to make your home more energy efficient in Northeastern Ontario's climate? This page covers every energy rebate in Timmins in one place.
Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Timmins home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Timmins 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.
Timmins runs on Hydro One 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 apply just as much to a remote northern city like Timmins.
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).
$1,000/kW, capped at 50% of total cost. Choose this rebate or net metering with Hydro One — not both.
$300/kWh, capped at 50% of cost. Stacks with the solar rebate for up to $10,000 combined.
Amount scales with your starting R-value: up to $1,250 from ≤R-12, $1,000 from R-12–25, $800 from R-25–35.
Instant rebate before you buy, or mail-in after. Eligible brands: ecobee, Google Nest, Honeywell Home, Copeland Sensi, Mysa, and Sinopé.
Heat pump dryer $200, induction cooktop/range $150, washer $75, fridge $50, freezer $50, dishwasher $25.
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.
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.
To at least R-20 across 100% of exterior wall area.
Plus Basement Slab (up to $500) and Foundation Header (up to $300) as separate, smaller sub-categories.
Crawlspace wall up to $1,200, plus crawlspace ceiling up to $1,200 — two separate measures.
Per rough opening replaced with an eligible ENERGY STAR window or door.
Replaces a gas, electric, or oil tank.
Draftproofing your home's envelope, verified by the before/after assessment.
Attic and cathedral-ceiling insulation are available on the no-assessment path above (up to $1,250 / $750), but the same work pays more if bundled into this assessment-required tier instead: up to $1,500 for attic and $780 for cathedral ceiling/flat roof.
Some southern Ontario cities run their own top-up loan or rebate on top of the province's HRSP — Kitchener-Waterloo's RetrofitWR is one example. We could not find an equivalent for Timmins: no city-run financing program, energy coaching service, or municipal rebate specific to Timmins homeowners. That means the standard provincial and federal stack — the Home Renovation Savings Program above, plus the federal Canada Greener Homes Loan and Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHAP) for households currently heating with oil — is what's actually available here. If a Timmins-specific program exists that we missed, let us know and we'll add it.
Hydro One (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Enbridge has a physical office at 615 Moneta Avenue in Timmins, and the city falls under Enbridge's Northeastern Ontario rate zone. Hydro One's own infrastructure reporting has named Timmins specifically in a roughly $80 million reliability investment and a new transmission line connecting to the Porcupine Transformer Station near the city.
Timmins sits over 700 km north of Toronto, and its housing stock includes a meaningful share of older homes built during the city's mining-boom decades. Combined with a much colder winter than most of the cities on this site, that raises both the case for a heat pump upgrade and the importance of the insulation and air-sealing rebates above — Hydro One's northern reliability investments matter more here than in a city with multiple redundant feeders.
Contact the City of Timmins building department for permit requirements before installing a heat pump, solar array, or battery system. As with anywhere in Ontario, work involving electrical connections needs an ESA electrical inspection.
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 Timmins:
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.
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.
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 Timmins — your board should contact the HRSP program directly at homerenovationsavings.ca to confirm what applies to a multi-unit building.
These are the real, published rebate amounts from this page, organized by category so you can jump straight to what you're planning. Filter below.
Depends what fuel you're switching from: gas customers get up to $2,000 (air-source) or $3,000 (ground-source); switching from electric, oil, propane, or wood gets up to $7,500 (air-source) or $12,000 (ground-source). Province-wide, same in every Ontario city.
$1,000/kW, capped at 50% of cost. Combined with battery, a typical Timmins household can net up to $10,000 for solar + battery together. You choose this or net metering, not both.
$300/kWh, capped at 50% of cost. Stacks with the solar rebate above.
Scales with starting R-value: up to $1,250 from ≤R-12, $1,000 from R-12–25, $800 from R-25–35. Cathedral ceiling/flat roof up to $750.
Exterior wall to at least R-20, up to $3,600. Plus foundation/basement wall up to $1,500, crawlspace up to $2,400, and exposed floor $300 as separate measures — needs a before/after energy assessment ($600, refunded as a rebate) plus 2+ qualifying upgrades.
Replaces a gas, electric, or oil tank. Part of the assessment-required tier.
Per rough opening replaced with an eligible ENERGY STAR window or door. Part of the assessment-required tier.
The province's Home Renovation Savings Program doesn't include a cash rebate for home EV charger installs in Timmins. Check with Hydro One for a separate off-peak charging incentive.
Instant or mail-in. Eligible brands include ecobee, Nest, Honeywell, Mysa, and Sinopé.
It depends on the heat pump type and your current fuel. Enbridge Gas customers switching from gas get up to $2,000 for an air-source unit or $3,000 for ground-source. Households switching from electricity, oil, propane, or wood get up to $7,500 for air-source or up to $12,000 for ground-source. This is the same provincial HRSP structure as the rest of Ontario, so it applies in Timmins exactly as it does in Toronto or Ottawa.
No. We could not find a Timmins-specific municipal rebate or financing program, unlike some southern Ontario cities that run their own top-up. Timmins homeowners work from the standard provincial stack only: the Home Renovation Savings Program plus the federal Canada Greener Homes Loan / Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program.
Hydro One is Timmins' electricity distributor, and Enbridge Gas serves natural gas customers in the city — Enbridge has a physical office at 615 Moneta Avenue in Timmins, and the city falls under Enbridge's Northeastern Ontario rate zone.
