What Enbridge customers can claim in 2026
We read Enbridge's residential page and the Home Renovation Savings pages on October 3 to 5, 2026. Enbridge's own page is out of date on the thermostat, so we use the program page.
Heat pump (gas homes)
For an air-source heat pump in a home heated by Enbridge gas or any rental, against $1,250 per ton up to $7,500 for homes heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood. Ground-source is a flat $3,000 for gas homes.
Smart thermostat
Claimed with a code at checkout or a receipt within 60 days. Enbridge's page still says $75, which is out of date.
Home Winterproofing
Free insulation and draft proofing for eligible households, including those on Ontario Works, ODSP, LEAP or the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Gas furnaces
Home Renovation Savings does not pay for a gas furnace.
ERV and HRV incentive
Enbridge's ventilator incentive covers multi-family, hotels and commercial offices, and sends homeowners to Home Renovation Savings.
Assessment stream cap for gas homes
Insulation, windows and a heat pump water heater inside the assessment stream are capped at $5,000 for gas-heated homes against $10,000 for others.
One program, two fuels
Home Renovation Savings is delivered by Enbridge Gas and the Independent Electricity System Operator through Save on Energy. The same measures appear for everyone, but the amounts depend on how you heat. A home heated by Enbridge gas gets a lower heat pump rate and a lower overall cap, because the program is steering electric, oil and propane homes harder toward electrification. If you are on gas, read the gas row, not the headline number.
What a gas home gets for a heat pump
Gas homes get $500 per ton up to $2,000 for an air-source heat pump, or $3,000 flat for ground-source, against $1,250 per ton up to $7,500 for electric, oil, propane and wood homes. Rental homes follow the lower rate as well. Whether a heat pump suits a gas home depends on your bills, so ask an installer to compare running costs at your current gas price before you decide, not only the rebate.
The assessment stream and the gas cap
Insulation, windows and doors, air sealing and a heat pump water heater are paid through the assessment stream, which needs a first home energy assessment before work starts, at least two qualified measures and a post-assessment by the program's dates. The total is capped at $5,000 for gas-heated homes and $10,000 for homes heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood. See our Home Renovation Savings guide for the full rules.
Free help for lower incomes
Home Winterproofing gives free insulation and draft proofing to households that meet the eligibility checks or take part in programs such as Ontario Works, ODSP, LEAP or the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Enbridge's quiz uses income thresholds that run from $48,220 up to $127,576 and above depending on household size. Free is better than a rebate, so check this before paying for anything.
Where Enbridge's own page is behind
Enbridge's residential page lists a $75 instant smart thermostat rebate. The Home Renovation Savings page, which runs the rebate, says $125. We follow the program page because it is where you claim. If a contractor quotes the $75 figure, ask which page they read.
