Heat Pump Rebates in Havelock
Havelock heats with propane, oil and electricity — no gas, no problem: every home here is in the province's top rebate tier at $1,250 a ton.
What do Havelock homes heat with?
Delivered fuel and the grid. In the village and across Havelock-Belmont-Methuen's concessions, it's propane furnaces, oil furnaces and electric baseboards, with wood in the mix — and no natural gas network to change that. All of those fuels earn the top Home Renovation Savings rate: $1,250 per ton, capped at $7,500. Electricity is Hydro One.
Village homes and concession-road homes
Havelock's stock is practical Ontario housing: village homes, farmhouses, and rural properties where the furnace and the tank are simply part of the house's machinery. The switch conversation here is usually about running costs and reliability — an aging oil furnace, a propane bill that climbs every winter, baseboards in a home that deserves better. Ducted homes pair the heat pump with a new propane or electric furnace; homes without ducts go ductless, room by room.
What's the rebate math for a typical Havelock home?
A typical home at 2.5 tons: $3,125 from Ontario (2.5 × $1,250), plus $2,000 federal for installs dated November 1, 2026 or later — up to $10,000 federal if the household is below the median income. At 3 tons the Ontario line is $3,750. Set against a winter of propane or oil fills, the combined rebate covers a meaningful share of the switch.
Havelock: check your rebate
Six quick questions about your home. Your estimate — Ontario rebate, federal rebate, net cost and your example monthly figure — is calculated the moment you finish.
Your estimate is on its way
A local advisor will call to confirm your exact number. Here's your estimate now:
Your estimated rebates
Example only — based on your numbers above: your net cost after both rebates, incl. 13% HST, spread over 240 months. Here's the move many homeowners make with that monthly: when the rebate cheque arrives, put it straight onto the financing — at a monthly like this, it covers about two years of payments on its own. Then put the money you're no longer spending on fuel each year onto the loan too, and the system is paid off years early.
Homes like yours often also price a ductless option — ask the advisor to run both.
| Estimated system size | — |
| Ontario Home Renovation Savings rebate | — |
| Federal rebate (announced — applications open early 2027) | — |
| Typical installed cost, full furnace + heat pump switch | — |
| Your net cost after both rebates | — |
| Example monthly figure (net incl. 13% HST ÷ 240) | — |
| What you'll spend on fuel in the next 5 winters if nothing changes | — |
| Estimated heating savings per year after switching | — |
The monthly figure is an example only. The installed range is a typical Ontario range, estimate only. The new system typically heats your home for roughly 45–55% of what oil or propane costs.
What happens next
We call you
A local advisor goes over your estimate and answers questions — no pressure, no obligation.
In-home visit
We measure, check your ductwork and panel, and confirm your exact rebate. Bring last winter's fuel invoices — the savings math gets very clear when it's your own numbers.
Rebate pre-approval filed
Before any work begins, your Ontario pre-approval is filed and your rebate is reserved while funding lasts.
Install — rebate cheque follows
The new system goes in, the claim is submitted, and your rebate cheque arrives, about 60 days after approval.
One date worth knowing
Installations on or after November 1, 2026 count toward the new federal rebate. If your install is being booked this fall, that date line can be worth $2,000 to $10,000 — ask about it on your call.
Estimates only. Your exact rebate is confirmed at the in-home visit, and Ontario rebate pre-approval is filed before any work begins.
Havelock — common questions
My oil furnace still runs. Should I wait until it dies?
Breakdowns choose their own timing — usually the coldest week of the year, when the rebate's pre-approval step has to happen in a rush. Planning the switch while the old system still runs means the paperwork goes in calmly, in the right order, and the install is booked rather than emergency-scheduled.
Do I need to remove my oil tank?
If you leave oil entirely, the tank comes out as part of the switch — insurers increasingly expect it with older tanks. If the plan keeps a propane furnace as backup instead, the oil tank still goes; the propane setup is separate. Either way it's scoped and priced at the visit, not discovered later.
Sources and estimates
The rebate figures on this page come from the official program sources: Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program (delivered with Save on Energy and Enbridge Gas) and the Government of Canada's National Heat Pump Rebate. Figures checked October 29, 2026. All amounts are estimates — your confirmed rebate and eligibility come from program pre-approval, filed by a participating contractor before installation.
