Compare an Enbridge Sustain quote on two levels: the regular payment your household can manage and the total scheduled cost over the agreement. Keep promotions, rebates and energy-bill savings on separate lines. There is no single monthly price that fits every home or system.
Ask for the regular payment first
Equipment, installation work and the selected agreement determine the quote. Request the regular monthly amount, applicable tax, number of payments and the cost of work outside standard installation. If a dated promotion applies to your agreement, record its end date and the later payment just as clearly. The first-six-month discount on Sustain’s central lease page ended September 30, 2026; it is not a current offer here. A household on a fixed income needs to know the amount that applies after the introductory period, not only the lowest figure in a promotion.
Calculate the scheduled commitment
Use the written payment schedule rather than an advertised example. As a purely hypothetical calculation, $150 a month for 180 payments totals $27,000 before tax and any additional charges. If six of those payments were $90 and the remaining 174 were $150, the arithmetic would be $540 plus $26,100, or $26,640 before tax. These figures demonstrate the method; they are not an Enbridge Sustain price or current discount. Enter your own quote into our lease-cost comparison tool.
Put purchase and lease quotes on the same footing
Use the same equipment and installation scope in each comparison. For a purchase, include financing costs if applicable, plus a realistic maintenance and repair budget. For lease-to-own, use the full schedule and identify included coverage. Decide how much value your household places on preserving cash and arranging service through the agreement. A comparison is useful when it makes those choices visible, rather than assuming every household values them equally.
Understand the value and scope of service
Enbridge Sustain describes annual maintenance, repairs and warranty protection within its lease-to-own arrangement. Its published guidance also identifies ownership during the contract and a buyout route. Ask how maintenance is arranged, how a repair request is handled and which conditions apply to your chosen system. Keep the service contact with the agreement. If you have two proposals with different coverage, record the difference before comparing their monthly amounts.
Keep rebates and cashback in their own columns
An equipment promotion is separate from a rebate administered under Home Renovation Savings. Record the eligibility, recipient and timing of each potential payment. Do not assume an expected rebate changes the regular equipment payment unless the written agreement says so. Likewise, a cashback amount received later does not remove the need to fund earlier monthly payments. Use the current offer page and written terms when comparing promotions; an expired headline should not shape the budget.
Check the whole household budget
List the regular equipment payment, expected utility spending and any other upgrade costs. Compare that combined amount with your current situation. A lower gas bill does not automatically establish a lower total monthly outlay. For seniors or households with limited spare cash, also check whether bill support or no-cost assistance addresses the need more directly. OESP supports eligible electricity bills, LEAP addresses qualifying overdue bills, and Weatherization can reduce heat loss through approved home improvements. These are distinct routes, not a single combined grant.
Know your options if circumstances change
Ask for the buyout table and the process for transferring an agreement when selling the home. Keep those answers in the project file with the payment schedule. A long-term agreement should be understandable before you sign, including what you need to do if you move.

Common questions
What is the monthly price of Enbridge Sustain lease-to-own?
There is no universal monthly price. Request a written quote for the equipment, installation scope, term and taxes that apply to your home.
Does a rebate automatically reduce my lease payment?
No. Confirm the rebate recipient and payment timing separately. Only treat the agreement payment as reduced if your written agreement establishes that change.
Does no upfront cost mean the equipment is free?
No. Lease-to-own requires scheduled payments. No-cost assistance programs have a separate qualification and approval process.
How do I compare a quote with buying?
Compare the same installed system over the same period. Include taxes, financing, service assumptions and any additional work, then calculate the total scheduled outlay.
