Understanding the Sump Pump Rebate Program
The sump pump rebate program provides up to $1,750 toward the installation of a new sump pump. The cost of installing a sump pump in Toronto, Canada can range from $1,000 to $5,500, depending on several factors:
- Type of pump: The type of sump pump you choose, such as a pedestal or submersible pump, will affect the cost.
- Installation complexity: Things such as whether you need to modify your plumbing system or excavate your basement, will affect the cost.
- Professional installation: Hiring a professional to install your sump pump can cost between $600 and $2,000, again depending on the complexity of the job. However, not only is it recommended to have your sump pump installed by a professional plumbing company, under the subsidy conditions for the rebate program, you will need original invoices from the licensed contractor and any sub-contractors who performed the installation of the sump pump.
