Heat Pump Rebates in Marmora
Marmora heats with propane, oil, wood and baseboards — the full rural mix, and every bit of it top-tier: $1,250 a ton toward a heat pump.
What do Marmora homes heat with?
The rural Ontario mix: propane and oil furnaces, electric baseboards, and a lot of wood, across the village and the Marmora and Lake concessions and lake roads. No natural gas — and under Home Renovation Savings, no need for it: every one of those fuels earns $1,250 per ton, capped at $7,500. Electricity is Hydro One.
Village homes and lake-road homes
Marmora's housing runs from in-village homes to properties out toward Crowe Lake, many of them heated in stages and styles — a furnace for the core, baseboards where the addition went on, a stove for the coldest nights. That pattern plans well: a ducted or ductless heat pump sized to the house, backup for the deep cold, and the stove kept for exactly the nights it's wanted. What the visit settles is heat loss and panel capacity, the two numbers that decide the equipment.
What's the rebate math for a typical Marmora home?
A typical 2.5-ton system: $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 for below-median-income households. At the 6-ton cap end of larger rural homes, Ontario's line tops out at $7,500. For a home buying propane or oil all winter, the rebate is only half the story; the fills are the other half.
Marmora: 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.
Marmora — common questions
I heat mostly with wood. Does a heat pump fit?
It's one of the best fits in the township: the heat pump carries the everyday load — spring, fall, and most of winter — and the stove stays for deep cold and outages. Wood-heated homes qualify at the same $1,250-per-ton tier, and you gain real air conditioning in summer, which a stove never offered.
My place is on a lake road and started as a cottage. Eligible?
Homes lived in year-round are the normal case for the program, whatever they started as. Insulation and heat loss get an honest look at the visit; eligibility itself is confirmed at pre-approval before any work is booked.
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.
