Heat pump rebates in Saskatoon

Last checked 2026-11-01

Short answer: Saskatoon homeowners can get the federal National Heat Pump Rebate: $2,000, or up to $10,000 if after-tax household income is at or below the Saskatchewan threshold ($45,543 for one person, $134,232 for a family of four). We didn't find an open Saskatchewan provincial rebate, and there's a local programme to check.

What's different about Saskatoon

Saskatoon is very cold and mostly gas-heated, and Saskatchewan has no provincial heat pump rebate we could find, so the federal rebate is the main support.

Prairie winters bring long stretches of deep cold. Cold-climate air-source heat pumps are rated to operate to about -30°C (NRCan), so most homes here keep or add backup heat for the coldest days.
