Why a heat pump
Modern cold-climate heat pumps keep working efficiently well below freezing, moving heat into your home instead of burning fuel to make it. For most of the heating season, that's cheaper to run than a furnace alone.
Heat pumps & rebates
Heat pumps love Canadian winters now.
Cold-climate heat pumps, a gas furnace for backup, and a straight answer on which rebate programs are actually still open. No hype, no expired offers.
How it works
The hybrid system built for Ontario winters.
Hybrid + gas backup
We pair the heat pump with your existing (or a new) gas furnace. The heat pump carries the load on ordinary winter days; the furnace only switches on for the coldest stretches, when a heat pump alone would have to work too hard.
What AirBest does
As a fully licensed heat pump specialist and Net Zero Program participant, we size the system to your home, install it, confirm what you qualify for, and handle the rebate paperwork. You don't deal with a government portal on your own.

What's closed right now
The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant, the Canada Greener Homes Loan, and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program have all closed to new applicants. We won't advertise a rebate that isn't there anymore. If a program closes, it comes off this page.
Program details change without notice. We confirm your eligibility at quote time.
We handle the paperwork
Rebate applications are part of the installation, not an extra errand for you. We confirm eligibility, file the paperwork, and keep you posted. That's what "we help clients apply for government rebates" means in practice.
Rebate FAQ
Straight answers before you call
How much does a heat pump cost, installed?
It depends on your home: the size, the ductwork, and whether you want a heat pump alone or a hybrid system with gas backup. We don't quote a number over the phone; every project starts with a free assessment so the price you get is for your house, not an average.
Do heat pumps actually work in cold Canadian winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps keep heating efficiently well below freezing. In a hybrid setup, the heat pump handles the season and your gas furnace only kicks in on the coldest days, so you get lower running costs without losing heat in a January cold snap.
Am I eligible for a heat pump rebate?
Most GTA homeowners qualify for Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program, which is currently open. The amount depends on how your home heats today: $1,250 per ton (up to $7,500) if you don't have gas heating, or $500 per ton (up to $2,000) if you do. We confirm your exact eligibility and amount during your free assessment and handle the paperwork.
