Boiler Optimization Pilot

Reduce energy costs by boosting boiler performance with incentives

Is your heating system running efficiently? Uneven heating, rising energy bills, or temperature swings could mean it’s time for an upgrade. Our Boiler Optimization Pilot is designed to help you identify and address inefficiencies in your heating system – improving comfort, performance, and energy savings.

Through this exclusive pilot, you can receive incentives up to $20,000 for assessment costs and up to $100,000 for boiler optimization measures. Spots are limited – don’t miss your chance to optimize your boiler system and reduce operating cost.

Incentives for boiler optimization

Submit your assessment reports and complete your boiler optimization installation to qualify for the below incentives:

If you are a HVAC service provider who is interested in offering the assessment and implementation incentives, please contact us to learn more on how you can become a participating business partner.

Assessment incentive¹

Up to $10,000

per site to cover up to 50 percent of eligible assessment costs.

Assessment top-up incentive¹

Up to $10,000

per site to cover up to 100 percent of remaining eligible assessment costs, if a qualifying boiler optimization project is implemented as recommended through the assessment.

Implementation incentive¹

For commercial customers:

$1.00/m³

of natural gas saved up to 75 percent of upgrade costs², to a maximum of $100,000 per project.

For affordable housing providers:

$2.50/m³

of natural gas saved up to 75 percent of upgrade costs², to a maximum of $200,000 per project.

Why optimize your boiler?

Reduce energy, maintenance and operating costs

Enhance occupant comfort

Receive top-up assessment incentives and enhanced implementation incentives

Which buildings can benefit?

To qualify for the offer, the building must have an existing building automation system with outdoor air rest and use natural gas hydronic boilers as the primary heating source and consume at least 250,000 m³/year of natural gas.

Multi-residential buildings and affordable multi-residential buildings (i.e. social housing, private market rate, co-ops, shelters and non-profits)

Institutional buildings (i.e district energy, universities, colleges, hospitals, military bases)

Commercial buildings (i.e. office spaces, restaurants, hotels, warehouses etc.)

How the program works

Step 1: Assess

Complete these three assessments with our qualified business partners to identify performance gaps in your heating system:

Heating equipment startup check
Controls performance check
Air and water balancing

Submit assessment reports to receive assessment incentive. Your assessment reports should identify opportunities to improve boiler system performance and any other energy efficiency opportunities.

Step 2: Implement

Your Energy Solutions Advisor (ESA) will review your assessment reports with you and identify improvements eligible for incentives.

Your ESA will also estimate natural gas savings and pre-qualify your project for incentives, including the boiler optimization implementation incentive. To qualify for enhanced boiler optimization incentives, projects must be installed and submitted.

Actual incentives based on pre and post-implementation measurements of boiler supply and return water temperatures.

Step 3: Receive

Once your boiler optimization project is installed and the required documents are submitted, you will receive the enhanced implementation incentives and assessment top-up incentive.

How did you hear about our commercial & industrial incentives and programs?

Incentives for other upgrades

If you are a commercial, industrial or an affordable housing provider, our ESA's will work with you to offer incentives tailored to your building type - helping you reduce your costs and maximize energy efficiency.

Commercial Custom Retrofit Program

The commercial custom retrofit program offers incentives up to $100,000 for all eligible commercial properties when upgrading to higher efficiency equipment.

See details

Affordable Multi-residential Program

The affordable housing multi-residential program offers incentives up to $200,000 when upgrading to higher efficiency equipment for social housing providers, co-ops, shelters, not for profit housing providers and private market housing providers*.

See details

Industrial Custom Engineering Program

The industrial custom retrofit program provides incentives to manufacturing plants or institutional building to help reduce the costs of your energy efficiency upgrades.

See details

Disclaimers:
Any references to energy savings is based on the assumption that the participant is reducing their natural gas consumption through participation in the Commercial Custom program or Affordable Housing Multi-Residential program.

1. All assessments and implementation projects must be pre-approved by Enbridge Gas to qualify for incentives. Boiler optimization offer is only available to Enbridge Gas commercial customers with at least 250,000 m³ in annual natural gas consumption in the previous year. The building must have existing building automation system (BAS) with outdoor air reset controls, and it must use natural gas hydronic boilers as the primary heating source. The building must not have received Enbridge Gas incentives for condensing boiler upgrades in the last five years. Assessments must be completed with reports submitted by Apr. 30, 2026. In addition, assessment requirements must be met first for implementation incentives to be available. For the implementation project: 1) Upgrade costs can include equipment retrofit costs and/or third-party consultation costs for resolving gaps identified during the assessment, and must exclude boiler replacement costs equipment repair and/or like-for-like replacement costs. 2) Supply and return water temperatures to the boiler must be metered at hourly intervals for a period of two weeks prior to implementation and for a period of two weeks post-implementation, once new system settings are finalized. If submitted measurements show transitional setting changes, additional temperature measurements may be required. Pre- and post-measurements should be taken within comparable ambient conditions (within five degress Celcius) and mid-high boiler loading. 3) Natural gas savings will be calculated based on supply and return water temperatures pre- and post-implementation. HST is not applicable and will not be added to incentive payments. Terms and conditions apply. Incentive offers are subject to change based on budget availability.

2. ‘Upgrade costs’ refer to the difference between the equipment and implementation costs of the energy-efficient option and those of the alternate option considered.

3. Eligible market-rate multi-residential buildings will need to demonstrate either at least 30 percent of units are rented at less than 80 percent of the median market rent (determined by comparing existing rent rolls to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation rental data), or the building has participated in a federal, provincial, or municipal affordable housing funding program in the last five years.
