Making the switch from oil to heat pump

Is your home heated with oil? Now’s the time to upgrade to a heat pump.

If you currently heat your home with oil, switching to a cold-climate heat pump could cut your home heating costs by up to 50%. And you might be able to make this change completely FREE—if you act now.

Save on Energy’s Energy Affordability Program (EAP) has recently expanded their eligibility to include cold climate air source heat humps for oil heated homes, thanks to the funding support from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) through its Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program.

This means that income-eligible Ontario homeowners who heat with oil may now qualify to receive a high-efficiency heat pump system at no cost. Everything is totally covered, from a home assessment with a Registered Energy Advisor to professional installation.

What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is a highly efficient, all-in-one heating and cooling system that runs on electricity. In winter, it pulls warmth from the outside air into your home. In summer, it works in reverse as an air conditioner. It also filters dust and allergens and reduces indoor humidity, so your home is more comfortable year-round.

Why switch from oil to heat pump?

• Save money: Potentially thousands of dollars annually on heating costs
• Stay comfortable: No more oil fumes, soot or poor air quality. Instead, get heating, cooling, and air filtration all in one system
• Save hassle: No more inconvenient oil deliveries or potential leaks
•  Reduce emissions: Significantly cut your household’s greenhouse gas output
• Get it free!: If you qualify, there’s no cost and no catch. Everything is free, from assessment to installation.
