Heat Pump Rebates in Millbrook & Cavan-Monaghan
Millbrook and Cavan-Monaghan run on propane and oil — delivered fuels, top-tier rebates: $1,250 a ton for the homes south of Peterborough that gas never reached.
What do Millbrook and Cavan-Monaghan homes heat with?
Propane and oil, in the main — the township sits south of Peterborough beyond the gas network, so furnaces burn delivered fuel and some homes run electric baseboards. Every one of those is a top-tier fuel under Home Renovation Savings: $1,250 per ton, capped at $7,500. Electricity is Hydro One.
Village charm, working furnaces
Millbrook's village homes and the township's farm properties share a profile: houses with history, heating systems that were installed for a cheaper-fuel era. The oil-to-propane conversations that used to happen here have largely become oil-or-propane-to-heat-pump conversations, because the heat pump changes the running-cost math more than a fuel swap does — and the rebate pays on the heat pump either way. Ducted homes pair with a new propane or electric furnace; the village's older, ductless corners go mini-split.
What's the rebate math for a typical Millbrook home?
A typical village or township 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 below the median income. At 3 tons, Ontario pays $3,750. The in-home visit prices your actual switch; the estimate here takes about a minute.
Millbrook & Cavan-Monaghan: 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.
Millbrook & Cavan-Monaghan — common questions
I was thinking of switching from oil to propane. Is a heat pump better?
It's the bigger step. Oil-to-propane swaps one delivered fuel for another; a heat pump with a propane or electric partner furnace cuts the delivered fuel to a fraction, adds air conditioning, and earns $1,250 per ton. Many township homes do the heat pump and keep propane only as the backup — the fills become rare instead of routine.
Does my heritage village home qualify?
Age doesn't disqualify a home — the program pays on eligible new equipment in an eligible home, confirmed at pre-approval. Older homes get a careful look at panel capacity and heat loss at the visit, which is exactly what the visit is for.
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.
