Heat pump rebates in Canada range from $1,000 to $19,000+ depending on your province, income level, and current heating type. The biggest rebates go to income-qualified households and those switching from oil, propane, or electric baseboard heating. The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed, but provincial programs in BC, Ontario, and Quebec are still active — and in many cases offer more money than the federal program ever did.
Quick answer: BC has the most generous programs (up to $19,000 income-qualified). Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program offers $500–$7,500 for heat pumps. Quebec's LogisVert program provides up to $6,700. The federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program is still active at up to $10,000 for oil-heated homes. Always confirm with the official program before making purchasing decisions — rebate programs change frequently.

BC has the most comprehensive heat pump rebate programs in Canada, delivered through a partnership between the provincial government, BC Hydro, and FortisBC.
This is the standard rebate available to most BC homeowners.
| Upgrade | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Electric heating to heat pump | Up to $4,000 |
| Dual-fuel ducted heat pump | Up to $5,000 |
| Electrical service upgrade | $500 |
| Insulation upgrades | Up to $5,500 |
| Window/door upgrades | Up to $2,000 |
| Multi-upgrade bonus | Up to $2,000 |
Important: The fuel-switching rebate for homes converting from natural gas, oil, or propane to a heat pump ended April 11, 2025. Homeowners who received quotes before that date may still be eligible. The electric-to-heat-pump rebate and income-qualified programs remain active.
This is where the big money is. Income-qualified households can get dramatically higher rebates — in some cases covering the entire cost of installation.
| Income Level | Heat Pump Rebate |
|---|---|
| Level 1 (lowest income) | Up to $19,000 |
| Level 2 | Up to $16,000 |
| Level 3 (moderate income) | Up to $6,000 |
Income thresholds vary by household size and are adjusted annually. A family of four at income Level 1 earns less than approximately $55,000/year; Level 2 is below approximately $87,000/year. Check the CleanBC portal for current thresholds.
How to apply: Pre-register through the CleanBC Energy Savings Program portal. An Energy Savings Program Specialist will confirm your eligibility and provide an opportunities report. Your contractor applies for the rebate and deducts it from your invoice — you don't pay the full price upfront.
Contractor requirement: All installations must be completed by a contractor registered with the Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN). Equipment must appear on the program-qualified product list.
Homeowners north of 100 Mile House who are switching from fossil fuel heating can receive an additional $3,000 on top of other CleanBC rebates.
Ontario's rebate landscape consolidated in early 2025 when the Home Renovation Savings (HRS) program replaced the previous Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program.
Jointly delivered by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy (IESO), with support from the Ontario government. Launched January 28, 2025.
For gas-heated homes (Enbridge customers):
| Upgrade | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Cold-climate air-source heat pump (ccASHP) | $500/ton, up to $2,000 |
| Ground-source heat pump | $3,000 flat rate |
For electric-heated homes (IESO/Save on Energy customers):
| Upgrade | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Cold-climate air-source heat pump (ccASHP) | $1,250/ton, up to $7,500 |
| Ground-source heat pump | $2,000/ton, up to $12,000 |
Additional HRS rebates (can be combined):
| Upgrade | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Insulation (attic, wall, foundation) | Varies by type |
| Windows and doors | Varies |
| Smart thermostat | $75 |
| Home energy assessment | Up to $600 reimbursement (if bundling upgrades) |
If your home is heated by oil, you're not eligible for HRS. Instead, check the federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program, which provides up to $10,000–$15,000 and remains active.
The contractor handles the application. Find an HRS-registered contractor, get an assessment and quote, and they submit your rebate application for pre-approval (typically reviewed within 2–3 business days). After installation, the contractor confirms completion.
Quebec has a layered system with Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program as the primary heat pump incentive, supplemented by provincial programs for specific fuel-switching scenarios.
The flagship program for Quebec homeowners installing heat pumps.
| Heat Pump Type | Financial Assistance |
|---|---|
| Air-source heat pump (standard efficiency) | $50 per 1,000 BTU at -8°C |
| Air-source heat pump (high efficiency) | $120 per 1,000 BTU at -8°C |
| Geothermal heat pump | Varies — contact program |
| Central heat pump + ETS heating system | Up to $7,000 for heat pump |
For a typical high-efficiency cold-climate heat pump, LogisVert assistance can reach approximately $5,000–$6,700.
For homes replacing oil or propane heating with electric/heat pump systems.
| Upgrade | Amount |
|---|---|
| Oil/propane to electric heat pump | Up to $1,275 (single-family) |
Can be combined with LogisVert — stack both programs for maximum savings.
Rénoclimat no longer provides direct heat pump rebates — that role has shifted to LogisVert. However, Rénoclimat still provides rebates for building envelope upgrades (insulation, windows, air sealing) and serves as the gateway to other programs. A pre-work Rénoclimat energy assessment is required to access the federal Canada Greener Homes Loan.
Hydro-Québec offers up to $7,300 for homeowners converting a natural gas heating system to a dual-energy (gas + electric heat pump) system, allowing access to the advantageous DT electricity rate.
For LogisVert: Submit your application through the LogisVert web portal (French only). You'll need proof of ownership, purchase and installation invoices, and your Hydro-Québec customer number. Applications must be submitted within 9 months of installation.
Alberta has fewer dedicated heat pump programs compared to BC and Ontario. The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed, and there is no equivalent provincial program. However, some options remain.
| Program | Amount |
|---|---|
| Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) | Up to $10,000 |
| Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) | Financing + 5–10% incentive |
| ENMAX / ATCO utility rebates | $500–$2,000 |
| Municipal programs | Varies |
Alberta's economics for heat pumps are less favorable than BC or Quebec because natural gas is cheap and electricity is relatively expensive. The math works best for homes with electric baseboard heating, oil heating, or those in southern Alberta with moderate winters.
Manitoba — Manitoba Hydro offers rebates for heat pump installation. The province participated in the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program. Check with Manitoba Hydro for current incentive amounts.
Saskatchewan — SaskEnergy and SaskPower have offered limited HVAC rebates. Check current programs at saskenergy.com and saskpower.com.
Nova Scotia — Nova Scotia has been one of the strongest provinces for heat pump adoption, largely driven by the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program (many NS homes heat with oil). Efficiency Nova Scotia also offers heat pump rebates and financing. Check efficiencyns.ca.
New Brunswick — NB Power offers heat pump rebates, and the province participates in the federal OHPA program. The Total Home Energy Savings Program provides rebates for qualifying heat pump installations. Check nbpower.com.
Prince Edward Island — PEI participates in the OHPA program. efficiencyPEI offers heat pump rebates for qualifying installations. Check efficiencypei.ca.
Newfoundland and Labrador — The province participates in the OHPA program. Newfoundland Power and the provincial government offer some heat pump incentives. Check takechargeni.ca.

Interest-free loans up to $40,000. Stopped accepting new applications October 1, 2025. Existing applications continue to be processed.
The federal government has announced a replacement program targeting low-to-middle income households. Details have not been fully confirmed as of February 2026. Expected to cover the full cost of recommended retrofits for eligible households. Check natural-resources.canada.ca for updates.
The highest available rebate is in BC, where income-qualified households can receive up to $19,000 through the CleanBC Energy Savings Program (covering the heat pump plus electrical upgrades). In Ontario, electric-heated homes can receive up to $7,500 through the HRS program. Quebec's LogisVert provides up to approximately $6,700. The federal OHPA program offers up to $10,000 for oil-heated homes.
No. The Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants in February 2024, and the final deadline for existing applicants to submit documents was December 31, 2025. The interest-free loan program also closed in October 2025. A replacement program has been announced but details are not yet confirmed. Provincial programs remain the main source of rebates in 2026.
In many cases, yes. In BC, CleanBC rebates can be combined with BC Hydro and FortisBC incentives. In Quebec, LogisVert and Chauffez Vert can be stacked. However, some programs (like Ontario's HRS) exclude homes that have already received rebates from previous programs. Always confirm stacking rules with each program before proceeding.
It depends on the program. Ontario's HRS does not require an energy audit for single heat pump upgrades (though one is needed for bundled upgrades). BC's standard CleanBC rebate does not require an audit, but the Energy Savings Program requires pre-registration and assessment. Quebec's Rénoclimat-linked programs require pre- and post-retrofit evaluations. The federal OHPA program typically does not require an audit.
It varies by program. In BC's Energy Savings Program, the contractor applies and deducts the rebate from your invoice. In Ontario's HRS program, the contractor submits the application on your behalf. For Quebec's LogisVert, the homeowner submits the application (or the contractor does for certain measures). Always clarify this with your contractor before installation begins.
Most programs are available to homeowners only. Tenants generally cannot apply directly. However, some programs (like Quebec's LogisVert) allow tenants to apply with landlord authorization. BC's Energy Savings Program also allows eligible renters in some cases. If you rent, ask your landlord about applying together.
