Geothermal Incentives

 The Home Renovation Savings Program in Ontario includes significant rebates for geothermal systems, making it an excellent opportunity for homeowners to adopt this sustainable energy solution.   This program is part of Ontario's broader $10.9 billion investment in energy efficiency, aimed at reducing energy costs and carbon emissions. It aligns perfectly with the benefits of geothermal energy, such as high efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and long-term cost savings.  Here are the key details: 

•  Ground Source Heat Pumps: Homeowners can receive up to $12,000 in rebates for installing a ground source heat pump, which is a geothermal system 

•  Bundled Savings: If homeowners combine geothermal installation with other energy-efficient upgrades, such as insulation or smart thermostats, they can maximize their rebates 

•  Energy Assessment Rebate: A rebate of $600 is available for completing a home energy assessment, which can help identify the best upgrades for the property 

To qualify for the Home Renovation Savings Program in Ontario, homeowners must meet certain criteria. Here's a summary of the key requirements:

1. Primary Residence: The property must be your primary residence, and it should be located in Ontario.
2. Heating Source: Homes heated by electricity, natural gas, oil, propane, or wood are eligible.
3. Energy Assessment: A pre-work energy assessment by an approved service organization is required for most upgrades. This helps identify the best energy-efficient improvements for your home.
4. Qualifying Upgrades: You must complete at least two qualifying upgrades, such as installing a geothermal system, improving insulation, or upgrading windows and doors.
5. Approved Products: All upgrades must use products that meet the program's energy efficiency standards, such as ENERGY STAR® certified models for heat pumps and windows.
