It’s Time to Apply for Heating & Cooling Rebates in Ontario Before It Gets Too Late!

Summer season is the one season you can’t live without air conditioning. So, if you are looking to buy a new air conditioning unit, it is very important to factor in a few things in order to make a wise purchase decision. The things to consider include; the latest models, whether a particular model is energy efficient or not, and most importantly, the rebates.

If you are thinking of buying any kind of new HVAC equipment, here is what you need to know!

1- Costly HVAC Equipment Means More Incentives

The HVAC equipment that is highly priced usually comes with higher government rebates and incentives. Mostly, high rebates are offered on HVAC equipment that is energy efficient.

2- Increase in Rebates During Summers  

Government and power companies are all in for encouraging people to use energy efficient HVAC equipment in order to reduce energy consumption, especially during the summer season. This is why the government offers higher rebates and incentives in summer season when people are expected to buy new AC units. When you’re buying, you might as well buy energy efficient equipment!

In Canada, similar grants and government benefits are offered to Canadian homeowners who are interested in buying new HVAC equipment. The main agenda behind offering such benefits is to offset the repair and maintenance cost of your existing HVAC unit or its upgrading cost.

These government incentives and rebates vary from province to province and are subject to amendment or change any day. What brand you purchase is not important. What matters is that you buy a new energy-efficient model. It’s better if you buy a model that is ENERGY STAR certified. This is what’s going to qualify you for availing the rebates. The one thing that you need to keep in mind is that it’s difficult to get rebates and incentives once you have already replaced your air conditioner, furnace, and water heater etc.

Rebates & Incentives in Ontario

In Ontario, such rebates and incentives are offered by Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), which was formerly known as Ontario Power Authority (OPA). Here are a few details about the rebates offered by the company:

  • The rebates are known as “Save on Energy” rebates and they do not require energy audits.
  • The HVAC equipment must be purchased from a company that is registered to offer these rebates.
  • Once the company has installed the new HVAC equipment at your place, it will file for the rebates and you will be given a check within the next six months.

It’s best to take advantage of these rebates and incentives in the summer season before the government cancels them. If you’re considering buying a new furnace, air conditioner, or any other HVAC equipment, then contact Cozy Comfort Plus and request a quote at your earliest. Our contractors will inform you about the new energy efficient models in the market and will provide you all the details pertaining to the current government credits and rebates.

Maury from Cozy Comfort did a fantastic job of examining the functionality of my furnace and cleaning the major components. He tested my furnace to make sure that it would run efficiently in the winter. My humidifier was cleaned, the drip pad replaced and settings properly set up. Thank you Maury for your effective care. thank you Cozy Comfort- you are a company that has proven your worth over the past 25 years that you have looked after my family's heating and cooling needs.

I've been a client of Cozy Comfort for 15 yrs. for any HVAC need or service.

My AC broke down in the heat wave and could not be repaired. I called and talked to Brian @ Cozy Comfort.
Explained I was looking for a specific Carrier model and a humidifier as well.
He managed to find it and had both installed by tech. Alex and his crew within a few days. They did a good job and took all garbage with them.

While being installed, other companies I had called for a quote were calling me to inquire what I was looking for. Told them too late!

During this unexpected breakdown in prime summer heat, Brian was patient, quick and fair getting the job done quickly.

These days it is difficult to give a positive review but I highly recommend dealing with Brian at Cozy Comfort for any service they offer.

From installation to maintenance, Cozy Comfort Plus Inc. provided us with prompt, quality service. It took under a day to install our Mitsubishi split-type air conditioner in May, 2021. This week, they attended to cleaning our unit’s filters in less than a day’s notice. The technician explained how to remove, clean and reinstall the filters ourselves which will save us money down the road. I highly recommend Cozy Comfort without reservation.
