Ontario Geothermal Rebate 2025

Effective Date: January 2025

Overview

Good news for Ontario homeowners! As of January 2025, the provincial government is offering a geothermal rebate of up to $12,000 to encourage the adoption of ground source heat pumps (GSHP). This program is designed to help households improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enjoy a more comfortable indoor environment.

Why Geothermal?

Year-Round Comfort
Geothermal systems provide efficient heating in winter and reliable cooling in summer—using the Earth’s stable underground temperatures.

Substantial Energy Savings
By tapping into the Earth’s natural heat, you can significantly cut monthly energy bills compared to traditional furnaces and air conditioners.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Lower carbon emissions and reduced fossil fuel dependency make GSHPs one of the greenest HVAC choices on the market.

Long-Term Investment
While geothermal systems have a higher upfront cost, the new rebate can offset much of it. Plus, lower monthly bills mean you’ll see a faster ROI.
