Heat Pump Rebates in Newmarket
Newmarket is gas country — most homes qualify at $500 a ton and pair a heat pump with the furnace they already have. But the rural edges of York Region run on propane and oil at the full $1,250. Two different conversations, depending on your street.
What do Newmarket homes heat with?
Enbridge Gas supplies the town — gas homes qualify for HRS at $500 per ton, and most go dual-fuel: the heat pump does the day-to-day work, the gas furnace backs it up automatically. Head to the rural edges — north toward Holland Landing and Queensville, west into King, out along the concessions — and it's propane and oil at the top rate of $1,250 per ton. NT Power supplies the town's electricity; Hydro One covers the rural parts.
What about Newmarket's older homes?
Newmarket's housing splits three ways: the historic old town around Main Street, some of it 1800s-era with little or no ductwork; postwar subdivisions with full ducts and furnaces nearing the end; and the newer builds, where the air conditioner is often the first thing to fail. No-duct homes are where ductless systems earn their keep — and where an A/C is dying anyway, a heat pump replaces it and takes over most of the heating in the same install. All of it qualifies at the same per-ton rates.
What's the rebate math for a typical Newmarket home?
For a 1,200–1,800 sq ft home, a 2.5-ton system is typical. In town on gas: $1,250 from Ontario HRS. On propane at the rural edges: $3,125. Either way, add $2,000 federal (up to $10,000 if your household is below the median income) on installs dated November 1, 2026 or later — combined totals of $3,250 to $13,125, on a switch typically running $13,500–$16,500 installed.
Newmarket: 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.
Newmarket — common questions
I'm an Enbridge gas customer in Newmarket. Is dual-fuel worth it at only $500 a ton?
Often, yes: $1,250 on a 2.5-ton system plus the federal rebate, a heat pump that carries the mild-weather load at high efficiency, and your gas furnace kept as automatic backup. The checker below shows your combined number — the in-home visit confirms whether it beats a straight furnace replacement for your house.
My air conditioner is dying but my furnace is fine. Worth it?
That's the easiest entry: a heat pump is an air conditioner that also heats. Replacing the dead A/C with a heat pump gets you the gas-rate rebate plus the federal rebate, and the heat pump takes over most of your heating load — your furnace stays as backup and runs far fewer hours.
I'm on propane north of town, toward Queensville. Same programs?
Yes — both rebates follow your heating fuel and the home itself, not the municipality. Propane homes sit in the $1,250-per-ton tier, more than double the gas rate.
My older home has no ducts. Is a heat pump still an option?
Yes — ductless mini-splits were designed for exactly that, and they carry the same rebates per ton. See the ductless guide for how heads and sizing work.
