A player in the home heating and cooling industry says it’s important for homeowners to know the ins and outs of the new federal Heat Pump Rebate Program.
The federal Liberals have allocated $2 billion in funding to retrofit some one million homes across the country to make them more energy-efficient.
Included is a new National Heat Pump Rebate to help switch to heat pumps from other forms of home heat.
Jo-Ann Murphy of Cole Air Contracting says it’s important to note that there is a difference between heat pumps and mini-splits.
Murphy says we still don’t know much about the new program, including the eligibility thresholds for household income.
“It has not been fully rolled out whether it’s going to be retroactive. Se we don’t know if people can put something in now and then be reimbursed for it,” says Murphy.
