About Heat Smart Canada
Independent Canadian guides to heat pumps, heating costs, and the rebates that pay for them.
Heat Smart Canada exists because the most expensive home decision most Canadians ever make — how to heat their home — got a lot more complicated, and a lot more subsidized, all at once.
We publish plain language guides to heat pumps, heating costs, and the federal and provincial rebate programs that can stack up to five figures toward a new system. Every amount on this site is taken from the official program page, verified on a monthly cycle, and stamped with the date it was last checked.
We are independent. We do not sell equipment, we do not install anything, and no manufacturer or installer pays for placement here. The math is the math.
Heat Smart Canada is based in Manitoba, where winter is not a metaphor.
How we check our numbers
Every rebate amount and program rule on Heat Smart Canada is taken from the official program page and rechecked on a monthly cycle. Programs change without much warning, so each article carries the date its figures were last verified. Always confirm the current amount with the program before signing a contract.
