Smart energy pairing for reliable heating and cooling
Hybrid rooftop units (RTUs) integrate advanced technologies to deliver efficient,† climate control in commercial spaces. While most commonly installed on rooftops, RTUs can also be mounted on the ground.
Incentives for hybrid RTUs upgrades
Get rewarded with pre-set incentives based on your heating capacity*.
| Heating capacity (kBtu/hr) | Incentive amount |
|---|---|
| ≤ 32 kBtu/hr | $1,000/unit |
| 33 – 77 kBtu/hr | $2,500/unit |
| 78 – 110 kBtu/hr | $4,000/unit |
| 111 – 200 kBtu/hr | $8,000/unit |
| ≥ 201 kBtu/hr | $40/kBtu/hr |

How it works
Your ESA will work with you to identify opportunities, develop an energy efficiency plan and maximize available incentives.
1. Identify projects
We’ll conduct a site assessment or provide incentives for a third party to uncover and maximize energy-saving opportunities.
2. Quantify incentives
We’ll provide technical support to optimize energy savings, build a business case, overcome barriers and calculate incentives.
3. Qualify projects
Once your internal approvals are secured, send us a confirmation of the final project details and timelines, and we’ll confirm incentive eligibility.
4. Receive incentives
After commissioning, we'll work with you to gather and submit the required paperwork. You can expect to receive your incentive within eight weeks.
Connect with an Energy Solutions Advisor
We’ll help you find ongoing savings and get your project underway.
Incentives for other upgrades
If you are a commercial, industrial or an affordable housing provider, our ESAs will work with you to offer incentives tailored to your building type - helping you reduce your costs and maximize energy efficiency.

* Incentive applies to packaged single-zone hybrid RTUs installed outdoors on a commercial facility. Incentive applies to the replacement of an existing natural gas RTU or addition to a new construction building. The eligible equipment is a hybrid RTU that meets the minimum requirement of provincial and federal energy efficiency regulations. Split systems, standalone furnaces, make-up air units or dedicated outdoor air systems are not eligible. This equipment is not eligible for buildings for which the cooling requirement is satisfied by natural gas chillers, spaces that directly serve kitchens and spaces that are unconditioned. The incentive is based on equipment heating capacity and cannot exceed 50 percent of eligible equipment cost. Heating capacity refers to the RTU rated heating capacity at 47 F in kBtu/h. The offer is intended for hybrid RTUs with controls enabling a switchover temperature of 30 F (-1.1 C) or below or simultaneous RTU and gas furnace operation. The term “switchover temperature” for a hybrid RTU refers to the specific outside air temperature at or below which the unit switches between settings to maintain heating efficiency and comfort. Hybrid RTUs with capacities 201 kBtu/hr or higher may be eligible for custom incentives if they do not meet the criteria for prescriptive incentives.
† Any references to energy savings are based on the assumption that participation in the Commercial Prescriptive Incentive program results in reduced natural gas consumption. Enbridge Gas does not make any claims regarding the specific amount of savings achieved.
