HVAC Financing & Rebates in Whitby & Durham Region
A new furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump is a major expense, and it rarely arrives on a convenient schedule. Walchuk Heating & Cooling offers flexible, no-credit-check financing on every installation, and we help homeowners across Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Courtice, Bowmanville, Port Perry, and Port Hope find every manufacturer and government rebate they qualify for. Here's what's currently available.
Financing Through Walchuk
We offer lease-to-own financing on new furnace, air conditioner, and heat pump installations, so a failed system doesn't have to mean an impossible bill all at once.
The problem: a system failure rarely lines up with having a few thousand dollars sitting free, and many financing options come with credit checks, buyout penalties, or contracts that cost more over time than the equipment itself.
The fix: our lease-to-own program requires no credit check, can be bought out at any time with no fees, and includes annual maintenance with parts and labour fully covered under warranty for as long as the system is leased. See our full lease-to-own breakdown for how it works end to end.
Manufacturer Financing and Rebates
Lennox, the brand behind many of the systems we install, periodically runs its own promotional financing and rebate programs on top of what Walchuk offers directly. These change seasonally, so the specific dollar amounts and terms below are what's currently running, not a standing offer.
Homeowners choose one of two ways to save on a qualifying Lennox home comfort system (a system means a matched indoor unit, outdoor unit, and qualifying thermostat):
- Higher rebate: up to $1,800 back , paid as a Lennox Prepaid Mastercard, or
- Rebate combined with financing: up to $1,400 back and deferred or promotional-rate financing on the balance.
Exact rebate amounts depend on which Lennox models you choose, and financing terms vary (some offers defer payments for a set number of months, others offer a promotional rate held for 36 months). We'll walk you through the real numbers for your specific system as part of your free estimate.

Government Rebate Programs
Government rebate programs in Ontario currently focus on electrification upgrades, specifically heat pumps and ductless mini-split systems, rather than gas furnaces or standard air conditioners. If you're replacing a furnace or AC, the manufacturer offer above is typically where the savings are. If you're considering a heat pump, two programs are worth knowing about:
- Home Renovation Savings (HRS): a provincial rebate program for qualifying home upgrades, including cold-climate heat pump installations.
- Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA): a federal program aimed at homeowners switching from oil heating to a heat pump.
Eligibility and exact rebate amounts depend on your current heating system and household, so rather than quoting a number that may not apply to your home, we confirm your specific eligibility as part of a free in-home assessment. See our heat pump and ductless page for more on how these programs work.
Rebate paperwork and financing applications can feel like the most confusing part of an HVAC upgrade. We handle the submission details with you, so you don't miss a deadline or a required form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Walchuk offer financing for new HVAC systems?
Yes. We offer lease-to-own financing with no credit check on furnace, air conditioner, and heat pump installations, and we can also help you access manufacturer financing offers when they're running.
How does Walchuk's lease-to-own financing work?
There's no credit check, you can buy out the system at any time with no fees, and annual maintenance with full parts and labour coverage is included for as long as the system is leased. See our full lease-to-own breakdown for the complete picture.
What rebates are currently available on a new Lennox system?
Through December 4, 2026, qualifying Lennox system purchases can receive up to $1,800 back as a prepaid Mastercard, or up to $1,400 back combined with promotional financing. The system must be installed by December 11, 2026, with claims submitted by January 10, 2027.
Is there a rebate on tankless water heaters?
Yes, currently. A $400 rebate, paid as a prepaid Mastercard, is available on new Navien NPE-2 condensing tankless water heaters purchased and installed between September 28 and December 31, 2026.
What government rebates are available for heat pumps in Durham Region?
Two programs are currently relevant: the Home Renovation Savings (HRS) program and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program. Eligibility and amounts depend on your current heating system and household, so we confirm your specific eligibility as part of a free assessment rather than quoting one number for every home.
Can I combine a manufacturer rebate with financing?
Often, yes, Lennox's current promotion specifically offers a combined rebate-plus-financing option. Combining a manufacturer rebate with a government rebate, or with Walchuk's own lease-to-own program, depends on each program's rules, so confirm your specific combination with us before assuming it will stack.
Do these rebates and financing offers expire?
Yes. Manufacturer promotions like the current Lennox and Navien offers run on specific windows and are replaced by new offers once they end. Government rebate programs are also subject to change. We keep this page current, but confirming the live offer at the time you book is always the safest step.
Is Walchuk Heating & Cooling licensed and insured?
Yes. We're TSSA licensed (#000229172), HRAI registered (#114449), and WSIB insured (#5318422), with close to 15 years serving Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Courtice, Bowmanville, Port Perry, and Port Hope.
