Planning a heat pump installation in Whitby, or just trying to make your home more energy efficient? This page covers every energy rebate in Whitby in one place.
Take our quick 30-second assessment to see exactly what rebates your Whitby home qualifies for.
Start your assessment →In 2026, a Whitby 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.
Whitby runs on Elexicon Energy 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.
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 Elexicon Energy — 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 (several third-party HVAC sites repeat a Nov 30, 2026 date that we could not verify on the official program page).
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.
A regional program (covering Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, and Clarington) administered by Windfall Ecology Centre: free expert home energy coaching, a Deep Retrofit Rebate of up to $10,000, and loan financing through local Rapport and Pathwise credit unions. Whitby residents who connect with a coach can access an additional $5,000 incentive for deeper energy retrofits not available in the other Durham municipalities.
Elexicon Energy (electricity) + Enbridge Gas (natural gas)
Mostly natural gas
Most Whitby homes heat with gas furnaces, putting a heat pump switch in the lower HRSP tier.
6–10 weeks quote to installation for solar, faster for a heat pump swap. City building permit + ESA electrical inspection where required.
Most of the rebate figures on this page assume you own a detached or freehold home and control the whole building. Whitby is mostly detached and townhome stock, but it does have a growing number of condo buildings — here's what changes if you rent or live in one:
You can't claim the structural HRSP rebates (heat pump, insulation, windows, solar) — those go to whoever owns the property. The smart thermostat rebate and small appliance rebates above may still be open to you if you're the one buying the appliance. For the bigger upgrades, the ask has to go to your landlord.
In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a smart thermostat, an in-suite appliance, sometimes an in-unit heat pump water heater — may qualify for the rebates above with your building's approval, usually required for anything touching shared systems or exterior walls. Get that approval in writing before applying.
Heat pumps, insulation, and solar for a whole condo building go through the condo board as a group decision rather than the single-family HRSP path on this page — the process and amounts differ, and your condo board or property manager applies, not individual owners. Connecting with a Durham Greener Homes coach is a reasonable starting point for a board weighing options, even though the Whitby-specific $5,000 bonus described above is built around single-family retrofits.
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 Whitby 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.

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.
