Gas absorption heat pump rebate program updated
The rebate page now shows a broader program for commercial, multi-unit residential, and public-sector buildings, instead of the earlier non-profit-focused offering for housing services and other services. The feasibility study funding is now shown as 75 per cent of total study costs, up to $10,000, while the gas absorption heat pump rebate remains up to 75 per cent of total project costs and up to $200,000. The eligibility language also changed materially: the previous non-profit customer criteria and building limits are replaced with a wider set of business-type applicants, including a natural gas customer under any rate class except Rate 1. The application guidance and portal remain visible, but the main update is the program’s expanded target audience and revised feasibility study cost share.
