For commercial HVAC [/ →](/) that can mean **$200-$1,500 per ton**. A typical office or retail retrofit captures **$8,000-$30,000**. So why do so many PMs miss it? Timing. The program requires **pre-approval** before equipment is ordered. If a contractor orders the units first and mentions rebates later (or never), the money is usually gone. On our Airport Rd program in Mississauga, three contractors bid the job. We were the only one who filed. The rebate was **$87K**. ## How We File Save on Energy for You 1. **Pre-audit.** We document existing equipment: nameplates, run hours, condition and the proposed replacement with its efficiency rating (**IEER**, **SEER2**). 2. **Application.** We prepare and submit the application with the supporting documents. 3. **Pre-approval.** Approval usually takes 4-8 weeks. Nothing is ordered until it is in hand. 4. **Install.** The retrofit is completed and commissioned to program requirements. 5. **Rebate netted.** The approved rebate comes off your final invoice. Filing is included on every qualifying project we install. > **Rule of thumb** > > If you have capex approved for HVAC replacement and nobody has mentioned Save on Energy, stop and ask before any purchase order is signed. ## What Qualifies? | Upgrade | Typical incentive basis | | --- | --- | | High-efficiency RTU replacement | Per-ton incentive based on efficiency | | Chiller replacement or upgrade | Per-ton or performance-based | | VFDs on fans and pumps | Per-unit or savings-based | | Heat pump conversions | Save on Energy plus Enbridge HER+ | Program rules and amounts change, so we confirm eligibility for your exact equipment before you commit. Some Toronto projects can also qualify for **Toronto Hydro savingsON** support. ## Rebate-Net Pricing on Every Quote Every qualifying quote shows two numbers: the installed price and the rebate-net price. For example, a 10-ton packaged unit installed at $18K-$34K, minus a per-ton incentive, is what you actually pay. See commercial rooftop unit replacement [/commercial-rooftop-unit-replacement-toronto/ →](/commercial-rooftop-unit-replacement-toronto/) and VFD upgrades [/vfd-upgrade-commercial-hvac-toronto/ →](/vfd-upgrade-commercial-hvac-toronto/) for the projects that qualify most often. ## Rebates for Portfolio Programs For owners replacing units across several buildings, we file each phase separately so every phase captures its incentive. That is how phased programs in Mississauga [/service-areas/mississauga/ →](/service-areas/mississauga/) , Scarborough and Brampton turn forced replacements into planned, rebate-funded capex.

We complete the pre-audit, submit the application, and net the rebate against your final invoice. A typical office + retail retrofit captures $8,000-$30,000 in rebates. ### Why do so many property managers miss the rebate? Because the application has to be approved before equipment is ordered. If the contractor orders first, the project often no longer qualifies. Many contractors never mention it. ### How long does approval take? Typically 4-8 weeks. We file early and schedule the install after approval, so the rebate is locked in. ### Is there a fee for filing? No. Rebate filing is included on every qualifying project we install. ### What equipment qualifies? Qualifying high-efficiency RTUs, chillers, VFDs on fans and pumps, and other HVAC upgrades that meet program criteria. Eligibility depends on the equipment, efficiency rating (such as IEER or SEER2) and program rules at the time of application. We confirm before you commit. ### What is Enbridge HER+? Enbridge HER+ is an incentive that can support heat pump conversions. It is checked on any project that replaces gas heating with heat pump equipment. ### What is Toronto Hydro savingsON? savingsON is a Toronto Hydro program that may support some commercial energy upgrades in Toronto. We check eligibility alongside Save on Energy. ### Can I still apply if my equipment is already ordered? Usually not under retrofit pre-approval rules. That is why we file before anything is ordered. If you are early in planning, call before signing any purchase order. ### How is the rebate paid? Once approved and the project is verified, the rebate is netted against your final invoice, so you pay the rebate-net price instead of waiting for a cheque. ### Can rebates apply to a phased portfolio program? Yes. We file each phase separately so every phase captures its rebate.
