Yes, Windsor homeowners can access the Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program, which provides up to $5,000 for qualifying air-source heat pumps and $250 for smart thermostats to offset the higher upfront costs of 2026 equipment.
The City of Windsor requires a mechanical permit for all furnace and AC replacements. In 2026, these permits typically cost between $165 and $310, depending on the total value of the installation and whether additional gas piping is required.
The industry-wide shift to R-454B refrigerant has increased equipment costs by approximately 15-20% in 2026. This is due to the higher cost of the refrigerant itself (roughly $18-$22 per pound) and the more complex safety sensors required in new evaporator coils.
Highly recommended. Because Windsor experiences both high humidity and sub-zero winters, a hybrid system (electric heat pump paired with a gas furnace) is the most efficient choice. While it costs $14,000-$18,000 upfront, it can reduce annual energy bills by 30% compared to a standard furnace/AC combo.
