Get up to $4,500 for a hybrid heating system through the Clean Home Heating Initiative -
Time is running out, offer expires in March
For a limited time only, Enbridge Gas customers who are homeowners in Sault Ste. Marie, St. Catharines, Peterborough, and London can receive up to $4,500 for installing a hybrid heating system through the Clean Home Heating Initiative, funded by the Ontario Government.
A hybrid heating system consists of an air-source heat pump unit with smart controls. The system switches between energy sources to heat and cool your home as efficiently as possible, helping to reduce energy costs and your carbon footprint.
Time and space are limited, contact a participating HVAC contractor today to get started.

The Clean Home Heating Initiative is a collaboration between Enbridge Gas and the Government of Ontario. Funds for the Initiative along with the customer financial incentives are provided by the Government of Ontario from the 2022-2023 Budget.
Saving energy is just one of the benefits
Space heating accounts for more than 60 percent of the energy use in the average Canadian home.* A hybrid heating system with smart controls switches between electricity and natural gas to heat and cool more efficiently to reduce emissions, optimize energy use and reduce long term costs.
Easy and convenient
Smart controls automatically switch between natural gas and electric heat, based on which source is the most efficient at a given time.
Gain more resilience
With two heating systems, homeowners always have energy-cost resiliency and the option to heat with natural gas or electric heat.
Heat more efficiently
By optimizing the home’s energy mix based on the source that’s the most cost effective, energy costs are reduced over the long term.
Lower carbon footprint
Hybrid systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 30 percent so homeowners will also be taking action on climate change.
How does hybrid heating keep energy costs low?
Hybrid heating uses two systems to heat as efficiently as possible. An electric air-source heat pump will heat the home when temperatures are moderate and electricity rates are low. When temperatures are cooler, or at times when electricity rates are at their peak, the system automatically switches to the condensing natural gas furnace, ensuring comfort on cold winter days. The home will also be cooled efficiently by the heat pump.
During the summer:
The air-source heat pump draws heat from inside the home and moves it outside, cooling more efficiently than an old air conditioner.
During the spring, fall and winter:
The air-source heat pump draws heat from outside and moves it indoors. If it gets too cold outside, the condensing natural gas furnace will automatically kick in to provide backup heat.

“The installation went very smoothly… They were here for a day and then they set everything up. They handled all the paperwork and a cheque showed up from the program. The house is much more even in temperature.”
