Heat Pump Rebates in Trent Hills
Campbellford, Warkworth and Hastings heat the Northumberland way: propane, oil and baseboards — and every one of those fuels is top tier at $1,250 a ton.
What do Trent Hills homes heat with?
Mostly what arrives by truck. Across Trent Hills — Campbellford, Warkworth, Hastings and the farms between — homes run on propane, oil and electric baseboards, with wood in many farmhouses. Natural gas is the exception, not the rule, so most homes here earn the top Home Renovation Savings rate: $1,250 per ton, capped at $7,500. Electricity is Hydro One.
Small-town homes, farmhouses, and rooms the ducts missed
Trent Hills housing is small-town and rural: older in-town homes in Campbellford and Warkworth, farmhouses on the concessions, and plenty of homes that grew by additions over decades. That staged growth is why ductless comes up so often in Northumberland — heads in the rooms the ductwork never reached, efficient heat and summer cooling where baseboards were doing expensive work. Ducted homes take the furnace pairing with propane or electric backup.
What's the rebate math for a typical Trent Hills home?
A typical 2.5-ton system earns $3,125 from Ontario (2.5 × $1,250), plus $2,000 federal for installs dated November 1, 2026 or later — or up to $10,000 federal for below-median-income households. A 3-ton township home sees $3,750 from Ontario. For a home filling a propane or oil tank all winter, the rebate plus the avoided fills is the whole argument.
Trent Hills: 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.
Trent Hills — common questions
I'm in Warkworth on propane. Top tier, really?
Really. Propane is a non-gas fuel under the program, so your home earns $1,250 per ton — the same tier as oil and electric — capped at $7,500, with the federal rebate stacked on top for November 1, 2026 or later installs.
Our house has rooms with no ducts at all. Still eligible?
Yes. Ductless systems are sized and rebated per ton of capacity just like ducted ones. A hybrid plan is common here: ducted equipment for the main house, heads for the addition or the rooms the ducts never reached.
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.
