If you’re a co-op or Indigenous housing provider, or a non-profit or charity providing services to income-qualified people, take advantage of our rebates on commercial high-efficiency air source heat pumps and heat pump water heaters.
- High-efficiency heat pump water heaters can be twice as energy efficient as conventional electric water heaters and help reduce electricity costs for supplying your domestic hot water.
- Occupancy sensors allow guests to control the temperature of their room when they are inside, but allow you to set back the temperature when the room is unoccupied.
- Energy efficiency ratings are based on ENERGY STAR®certification requirements or Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) certification.
