CALGARY, AB – Purcell Heating and Air Ltd is pleased to announce the release of its “2026 Calgary Homeowner’s Guide to HVAC Incentives.” This comprehensive resource is designed to help residents navigate the complex landscape of government grants, municipal financing, and mortgage refunds available for high-efficiency ductless mini split installation and heat pump upgrades.
As traditional federal programs like the Canada Greener Homes Grant transition into new phases, many homeowners are left wondering how to finance their energy-efficient home improvements. Purcell’s new guide identifies several powerful, active incentives that can significantly reduce the net cost of a new ductless systems installation, making sustainable comfort accessible to a wider range of Calgary families.
“There is a lot of misinformation in the market right now about what incentives are still available,” says Brent McQuade, Owner of Purcell Heating and Air Ltd. “The truth is that 2026 is an excellent time to upgrade your home’s heating and cooling. Between the CMHC Eco Improvement program and the City of Calgary’s CEIP financing, many of our clients are seeing their systems essentially pay for themselves through energy savings and cash-back refunds.“
Key incentives highlighted in the guide include:
- CMHC Eco Improvement: Homeowners with a CMHC-insured mortgage can receive a 25% refund on their mortgage insurance premium—often a check for $3,000 to $5,000—by spending $20,000 on qualifying renovations such as a multi-zone ductless mini split system.
- Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP): Calgary residents can finance up to $50,000 of their project costs at competitive interest rates through their property tax bill, allowing the investment to stay with the home rather than the individual.
- Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Program: For those transitioning from heating oil, upfront grants of up to $10,000 are available to cover the full cost of a new cold-climate ductless heat pump canada installation.
Purcell Heating and Air Ltd provides more than just the installation; they act as a strategic partner in the application process. Their team ensures that all installed equipment meets the rigorous SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings required for qualification and provides the detailed technical documentation necessary for successful claims.
“We believe that financial literacy is a critical component of home maintenance,” McQuade adds. “Our goal is to ensure that every ductless air conditioner calgary resident we serve is maximizing their available resources. We want our clients to have the most comfortable, most efficient home possible, at the lowest possible net cost.”
The 2026 guide is available for free on the Purcell Heating and Air Ltd website and includes a breakdown of eligible property types, income thresholds for certain programs, and a step-by-step application checklist.
