New Tankless Grants in Ontario

Ontario Tankless Grants
|
Its still early but I think its safe to say that the Ontario Government is maintaining its side of the grant money 
available to home owners. It has been a relatively convoluted situation as some people have received official continuation press releases while others haven’t. Currently we haven’t here at Tankless Water Heaters but today a service provider brought one in for us to view. We will try and have a copy posted up soon.
Grants are back and available to Home owners for tankless water heaters.
If you were kicking yourself for not getting a tankless when the government grants were available then your certainly in luck today.
End of Government Grants for Tankless
Apr 4th
Grants End
|
In a surprise announcement on Thursday April 1 2010, the Federal government suspended the Ecoenergy retrofit program. This program aided homeowners in upgrading their existing HVAC equipment to more energy efficient models, thus reducing greenhouse gases that homes emitted substantially. The program was axed due to its popularity, more than 3 times more Canadians participated than the Government had anticipated. Typical government fashion, lets end anything that is actually working and making a change. This puts more than 2000 energy auditors and countless other support staff out of jobs, and that’s only in Ontario.
Can I Still Get An Audit?
Unfortunately, you can not get an audit anymore. There are no more grants available for tankless water heaters from Federal or Provincial governments.
- The Ontario provincial government was matching all grants, this has also ended.
- This isnt the end, there will be incentives from companies and manufactures to try and maintain the low entry cost for a tankless water heater.
- Check back here as we will be following the situation and posting any updates.
I Have Had My D-Audit, Will I Not Get My Grants?
- If you have had your D-Audit but nit your final E-Audit then you are lucky. The Government will still honour all rebates and upgrades that you do. You have until April 1 2011 to perform any upgrades and have your final E-Audit. I would recommend that you look into upgrading as much as you can over the next year, you can get $1500 back on a new furnace and $750 on a tankless water heater, and even more on roof and wall insulation. Your in a good situation, I would definitely take advantage of it.
Is a Tankless Water Heater Even Worth It Now?
- Even though you are not able to get the grants for a tankless water heater the cost to benefit is still greater than having and maintaining you conventional tank water heater.
- Natural Gas and Electricity prices are only on the rise, any system that can cut their use by over 40% will net you savings.
- If you need a loan to purchase a tankless rates are still exceptionally low
- Our rental rates haven’t changed, you can still rent a tankless for $39.95 a month

Just want to thank everyone for submitting your information to our HUB. We have been inundated lately with requests for tankless water heaters and thus we are trying to call you all back to setup appointments as soon as possible. It can take upwards of 24 hours to hear back from us, but occasionally it can take less than 5 minutes from when you send the form request in.
Over the last few years we have installed thousands of tankless heaters and have received hundreds of compliments on these systems. It’s easy to accept this
praise when the system offers endless hot water at a fraction of the cost of a conventional water heater.
If you’re thinking of getting into a tankless water heater for your home now is one of the best times to take the plunge. Initially the cost is higher but the benefits far outweigh the small price gap between conventional and tankless. Government grants are at an all time high but are ending soon so get your $700 plus rebate before the program ends.

Grant Money Increased By 25%
Apr 1st
25% more for a new Tankless
|
Part of the government’s economic action plan is to boost the eco energy retrofit program that is currently running. The government has increased all available grant money for energy efficient retrofits by 25%. Additionally the program has been expanded with a 300 million dollar increase in funding over the next two 
years.
You can download the new PDF here
Initially the program gave home owners 18 months to complete all retrofits, perform the E audit and submit files for rebates. This has now been extended and homeowners that are past their 18 month time frame can still perform retrofits and get access to additionally grant money by performing a F-audit.
This is really significant for The Tankless Hot Water Guide as the additionally grant money will further reduce the cost of tankless water heaters for consumers. A tankless with an efficiency of .82% or better will get you 630$ in rebate money. If you decide to go with a condensing tankless water heater the grant money is even better (.94% efficiency or better) this will net you a 750$ cheque from the government.
You cant find a better time to get go out and get a tankless water heater.
Condensing verses Non-Condensing Tankless
Mar 27th
Condensing verses Non-Condensing
|
Tankless water heaters come in two different efficiency styles, condensing and non condensing. A condensing unit will recover more than 85% of the gas that a regular tankless water heater would otherwise vent out. Navien or “Navian” makes a tankless system that is 98% efficient by employing the condensing system. The high efficiency is gained by allowing the relatively warm exhaust gases to transfer otherwise wasted heat to the incoming water preheating it before flowing through the primary heat exchanger. This adds about a 10 to 15 percent efficiency increase to a tankless water heater which in itself is already quite efficient.
Now the grants that are available from the provincial and federal government are 
different for a condensing and non condensing tankless water heater. A condensing unit will receive $600 in total grants or $300 from each government level. The non condensing unit will net you $250 from provincial and federal netting $500 total. The governments trying to reduce energy consumption and pollution emissions would naturally give more grant money to tankless water heaters that are the most efficient.
