Is there a grant for an electric forced air furnace (with no other fuel)?
No.
The grants are for fuels where there is waste, such as natural gas, propane and oil. Electricty is 100% efficient, meaning that for every $1 you spend on electric heat, you get $1 worth of heat. Whereas, with something like gas, you might get 96-98% worth for every dollar. The grants in the Ontario Home Energy Retrofit Program are for natural gas, propane, oil, hot water and wood appliances only.
Now, you may have an electric forced air furnace that is actually fueled by gas or oil, so be sure to check that. If you do, and you are planning to upgrade it, then there would be a grant for this.
