Heat Pump Rebates in Georgina

Keswick, Sutton, Pefferlaw and the Lake Simcoe shore: gas on some streets, oil and propane tanks on the concessions — and the top Ontario rebate tier for the homes that have them.

What do Georgina homes heat with?

Keswick has natural gas on many streets, paying HRS at $500 per ton. Head north and east — Sutton, Jackson’s Point, Pefferlaw, Udora and the concession roads — and it’s oil and propane country, at $1,250 per ton. A lot of the lakeside housing stock started as cottages and became year-round homes, which means older insulation, older furnaces and some of the highest heating bills in York Region. Hydro One serves most of Georgina.

Does this page cover East Gwillimbury too?

Yes — East Gwillimbury (Holland Landing, Sharon, Queensville, Mount Albert and the rural concessions) is folded into this page’s coverage, because the pattern is the same: gas in some newer subdivisions, tanks on the rural roads, and identical rebate rates. If your home is in East Gwillimbury, pick Georgina in the checker below and your estimate will be right — the advisor confirms the details on the call.

What’s the rebate math for a typical Georgina home?

A common case — a 1,200–1,800 sq ft home on oil or propane — takes a 2.5-ton system: $3,125 from Ontario HRS plus $2,000 federal (up to $10,000 if your household is below the median income), on a switch typically running $13,500–$16,500 installed. Combined, that’s $5,125 to $13,125 back. Gas homes in Keswick get $1,250 from Ontario on the same system, plus the federal amount.

This page covers Georgina and East Gwillimbury — pick a different town if the home is elsewhere in Ontario.

How big is your home?

Above-ground living space. This sets the heat pump size — and your rebate is paid per ton.

How old is your current furnace?
Is your household income below or above Ontario's median?

This decides your federal rebate: $2,000 at or above the median, up to $10,000 below it. Ontario's exact dollar cut-off hasn't been published yet — a rough sense is all we need.

Georgina — common questions

My lakeside home started as a cottage but I live there year-round. Do I qualify?

Generally yes — the programs are about the home you live in and heat, not its history. Converted cottages often have the most to gain, because the heating system was never designed for full winters. Seasonal-only properties are a different question; ask at the estimate stage.

I rent my propane tank. Does that change my rebate?

No — the rebate follows the fuel you burn, not who owns the tank. Tank rental does add a carrying cost every year you stay on propane, which is part of the savings math your advisor will show you.

Natural gas is on my street in Keswick, but I still heat with oil. Which rate do I get?

The rate follows the fuel you heat with now — oil means $1,250 per ton. If you later connect to gas, a dual-fuel setup can use it as backup; the rebate is based on the switch you’re making today.
