Income-eligible Ontario residents can receive free cold climate air source heat pumps

TORONTO — Through its Energy Affordability Program, Save on Energy is offering free cold climate air source heat pumps to qualifying Ontario households in order to help income-eligible residents of Ontario living in electrically heated homes lower energy costs.

To qualify for the program and other free home upgrades, you must be a resident of Ontario, including those living in grid-connected First Nations; be responsible for paying a monthly electricity bill as a homeowner or renter; and reside in an electrically heated home. 

The type of energy efficiency upgrades a qualifying household may receive depends on household income level from the previous year and how many people live in the household, or on receipt of a qualifying government or energy-support benefit, states a release, adding residents of social housing may also be eligible. 

In addition to the pumps, which have a two-year free maintenance warranty and a 10-year equipment and labour warranty, qualifying households may also be eligible for other free energy efficiency upgrades offered through the Energy Affordability Program, including professionally installed replacement appliances, such as ENERGY STARrefrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, and lighting; weatherstripping around doors and windows; attic and basement insulation; and smart thermostats and power strips.
