Heat pump rebates in Canada: the new federal rebate and every province

The new National Heat Pump Rebate (opens early 2027)

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the rebate in Sherbrooke on October 8, 2026, as part of a $2 billion, eight-year plan to support one million home retrofits, up to 820,000 of them heat pump switches (PMO ↗). What the government has said so far:

• Amount: up to $10,000 for eligible households below the median income; $2,000 for other eligible homeowners.
• Equipment: electric cold-climate air-source heat pumps on the federal Eligible Products List (backgrounder ↗).
• How it works: a short online form with basic personal information and the heat pump you have chosen; approval within 24 hours; upload receipts after installation; payment within five days by direct deposit.
• No energy audit before or after installation, and one rebate per person.
• Stacking: the government says both rebate levels can be combined with existing provincial programs.
• When: not open yet. The Canadian Press reported a launch early next year, with details still being finalized (Global News ↗). You can sign up for launch updates on the Government of Canada page (canada.ca ↗).

Still unknown: the median-income figure, whether a heat pump installed before the portal opens will count, and the exact rules. Our National Heat Pump Rebate page tracks it.

Heat pump rebates by province at a glance

The amounts below are as each official page stated them on October 19, 2026; Newfoundland and Labrador's Oil to Electric amounts, apart from the $22,000 income-qualified maximum, were last confirmed on October 8, 2026. A "ton" is 12,000 BTU/h of heating capacity. Programs change with little notice, so confirm on the official page before you sign a contract.

Other federal heat pump money: what is open and what closed

• Canada Greener Homes Grant: applications ran from May 2021 to February 2024, and December 31, 2025 was the last day to upload documents (NRCan ↗). More on the closed grant.
• Canada Greener Homes Loan: October 1, 2025 was the last day to apply; loans already approved continue (CMHC ↗).
• Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program: July 31, 2026 was the last day to apply. Approved participants have until January 31, 2027 to upload final receipts, and the program closes March 31, 2027 (NRCan ↗). Our OHPA page.
• Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program: free heat pumps and insulation for low-to-median-income homeowners and renters, delivered only through partners in BC, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, PEI and Quebec, expanded on June 29, 2026 with over $500 million, $300 million of it federal (NRCan ↗); Hydro-Québec's registration for 2026–27 has ended (Hydro-Québec ↗).
• CMHC Eco Improvement: if you bought with a CMHC-insured mortgage, a heat pump counts toward the $20,000 of energy work that earns a 25% refund of your mortgage insurance premium (our guide).

Ontario: up to $7,500, or $12,000 for ground-source

Ontario's heat pump rebates come from the no-assessment stream of Home Renovation Savings, run by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy. The amount depends on how you heat today (program page ↗):

• Electricity, oil, propane or wood: cold-climate air-source $1,250 per ton, up to $7,500; ground-source $2,000 per ton, up to $12,000.
• Enbridge Gas customers heating with natural gas: $500 per ton, up to $2,000, or $3,000 for ground-source. The furnace can stay as backup.
• Rented heat pumps, any fuel: $500 per ton, up to $2,000, or $3,000 for ground-source.

A participating contractor files for pre-approval, and nothing installed before written approval qualifies. Replacing an existing heat pump doesn't count, and oil-heated homes must size the new electric heating to replace the oil heat completely (program FAQ ↗). The heat pump page lists no installation deadline or end date.

If your gas comes from Kitchener Utilities or Utilities Kingston rather than Enbridge, check eligibility before you plan around the gas-home amounts: the program is written for Enbridge Gas customers or for homes heated by electricity, oil, propane or wood (program terms ↗).

Free for income-qualified homes: Save on Energy's Energy Affordability Program installs a cold-climate heat pump at no cost in eligible homes heated by electricity or oil, for households under its income limits ($48,220 for one person up to $127,576 for seven or more) or receiving benefits such as Ontario Works, ODSP, OESP or LEAP (Save on Energy ↗).

City programs add money in some places:

• Waterloo Region (GrandBridge Energy customers): RetrofitWR loans at 2.5% with up to $2,500 toward eligible heat pumps, plus $1,000–$3,000 for income-eligible households (RetrofitWR ↗).
• Ottawa: Better Homes Ottawa loan participants get $700 per ton for a cold-climate air-source heat pump or $1,000 per ton for ground-source (Better Homes Ottawa ↗); the City says new loan applications are currently waitlisted.
• Guelph: loans are closed, but low-income households can get grants of up to $15,000 for an air-source heat pump (City of Guelph ↗).
• London: BetterHomes London loans at 2.5% come with income-based incentives of up to $10,000 (BetterHomes London ↗).

More detail for the Toronto area is in heat pump rebates in Toronto and Ontario.

Toronto: financing, not a rebate

The City of Toronto doesn't offer a heat pump rebate in 2026. Its Home Energy Loan Program (HELP) lends up to $125,000, or 10% of your home's assessed value if less, repaid on your property tax bill, and projects that include a heat pump qualify for a 20-year term. A heat-pump-only project doesn't need EnerGuide assessments; the installer signs an attestation instead (toronto.ca ↗).

The City did pay HELP incentives, heat pumps included, from July 7, 2022 to January 24, 2025, and that funding is fully subscribed (HELP terms ↗). In Toronto, the rebate itself comes from Home Renovation Savings. See our HELP guide for rates and steps.

Quebec: LogisVert and the dual-energy offer

Hydro-Québec's LogisVert pays $50 per 1,000 BTU/h of capacity at −8°C for an ENERGY STAR certified heat pump, or $120 for a model classified cold-climate, and its page puts the maximum at $6,700. Heat pumps installed on or after November 26, 2025 must be ENERGY STAR certified. In eligible multi-unit buildings, installs from June 15, 2026 can get a bonus of $100 more per 1,000 BTU/h. New geothermal systems get $750 per 1,000 BTU/h, deducted on the installer's invoice, up to $54,000 for a house (Hydro-Québec ↗). The page also notes that on October 8, 2026 the federal government announced heat pump funding starting in 2027; Hydro-Québec says the details aren't known yet and LogisVert requests are processed as usual.

Homes heated with natural gas have a separate offer. Hydro-Québec's dual-energy page lists $7,300 for Énergir customers and $6,800 for Enbridge Gaz Québec customers to add an electric central heat pump to a forced-air gas system, with gas kept as the backup for the coldest days and Hydro-Québec's Rate DT applying to the electricity (Hydro-Québec ↗). The page still names Quebec's Chauffez vert program but shows no dates, and Quebec ended Chauffez vert's aid for oil and propane conversions on March 31, 2026 (Québec.ca ↗), so confirm with your gas distributor that the offer is still funded before you sign.

Rénoclimat doesn't pay for heat pumps; since October 1, 2026 it pays for insulation, high-performance windows, backup power and flood protection.

British Columbia: rebates by heating fuel and income

B.C.'s Home Renovation Rebate program, funded by BC Hydro and FortisBC with the Province, pays $4,000 for a heat pump that meets 100% of the home's heating at −5°C, or $1,500 for one that meets at least half, when it replaces electric heating. Its requirements changed for invoices dated on or after October 15, 2026 (Better Homes BC ↗). For an air-source heat pump completed, invoiced and paid between August 1 and October 31, 2026, BC Hydro adds up to $1,000 while funding lasts (BC Hydro ↗).

FortisBC natural gas customers, and Revelstoke customers on FortisBC piped propane, can get $4,000 for a dual-fuel system (a heat pump paired with a gas furnace) that replaces a furnace at least 15 years old (FortisBC ↗). Better Homes BC's own page for that rebate still shows an older, higher offer, but FortisBC's page and the October 15 requirements list $4,000. North of and including the District of 100 Mile House, BC Hydro customers switching from oil, propane or natural gas get $6,000 for a mini-split, multi-split or central heat pump, $4,500 for a dual-fuel heat pump and up to $7,000 for an air-to-water system (BC Hydro ↗). Better Homes BC's overview says gas- or propane-heated northern homes can get up to $8,000, but none of its itemized rebates shows how that total is reached (Better Homes BC ↗).

Lower- and middle-income households can use the CleanBC Energy Savings Program: up to $13,000 toward a central heat pump replacing oil, gas or propane at Level 1, $7,000 at Level 2 and $3,500 at Level 3, deducted on a registered contractor's invoice (Better Homes BC ↗). FortisBC electricity customers with electric heat can borrow up to $6,500 at 1.9% over 10 years instead of taking a rebate (FortisBC ↗).

Better Homes BC's page of municipal top-ups now returns "page not found" (Better Homes BC ↗), so we don't list any B.C. city top-ups as current.

Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta

Manitoba has the Prairies' only provincial heat pump rebates: $2,000 for a centrally ducted cold-climate air-source heat pump and $1,500 for a ductless one, supplementing electric or gas heat (propane and oil conversions also qualify) (Efficiency Manitoba ↗). Ground-source systems can go in with no upfront cost and an interest-free $75 monthly payment for 15 years on the Manitoba Hydro bill (Efficiency Manitoba ↗), and income-qualifying households can get a heat pump free (Efficiency Manitoba ↗).

In Saskatchewan we found none: SaskPower and SaskEnergy list no residential heat pump rebate, and the Home Efficiency Retrofit Rebate ended in April 2026 (SaskPower ↗). Saskatoon's Home Energy Loan Program finances heat pumps. Details in Saskatchewan rebates and the tax credit.

Alberta has no provincial rebate either. Clean Energy Improvement Program loans can finance a heat pump in 27 municipalities, with an EnerGuide evaluation required (CEIP ↗), but Calgary's intake is closed until winter 2026/27 and Edmonton's is waitlisted. See energy efficiency rebates in Alberta.

Atlantic Canada

• New Brunswick: through Total Home Energy Savings, a central ducted heat pump earns $1,500, a heat pump added to a furnace $1,000, geothermal $2,000, a mini-split $400 and a multizone system $350 per indoor head, after a $99 + HST evaluation (SaveEnergyNB ↗). Oil-to-heat-pump advance payments closed to new registrations on June 30, 2026 (SaveEnergyNB ↗).
• Nova Scotia: Home Energy Assessment rebates pay $300 per ton for ductless, $500 per ton for centrally ducted and $600 per ton for closed-loop geothermal heat pumps; the Moderate Income Rebate adds $500 or $1,500 per ton for homes not heated mainly by electricity (rebate guide ↗). Efficiency Nova Scotia stopped taking federal oil-to-heat-pump applications on July 2, 2026 (Efficiency Nova Scotia ↗).
• Prince Edward Island: "On April 15, 2026, heat pump rebates ended," and free heat pump applications are closed (PEI ↗). Heat pumps bought between April 15, 2025 and April 15, 2026 can still be claimed within a year of purchase.
• Newfoundland and Labrador: the takeCHARGE Oil to Electric program is still accepting applications: up to $9,000 for a central heat pump replacing oil or propane, $6,500 for multi-splits and $5,000 for an electric furnace or boiler, or $22,000, $18,000 and $10,000 if income-qualified (takeCHARGE ↗). The new income-eligible TakeCharge Greener Homes Program offers a limited number of no-cost heat pumps for projects completed after October 5, 2026 (takeCHARGE ↗).

Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut

Yukon pays 50% of the cost of a heat pump in an existing home, up to $10,500, or 100% up to $24,000 through the income-qualified Affordable Heat Pump Program, which needs approval before you install and isn't open to anyone who received federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability funding. Homes must keep their existing heating as backup (Government of Yukon ↗). A heat pump in a new home can get up to $1,500 (Government of Yukon ↗).

The Northwest Territories' Arctic Energy Alliance no longer funds heating systems that use fossil fuels, and its product rebates don't include heat pumps (AEA ↗). Its Renewable Energy program names ground-source heat pumps among the renewable sources it funds, but gives no amount and leaves them off its list of eligible technologies, so ask AEA before you plan on it (AEA ↗). In Nunavut we found no heat pump program, and Nunavut homes were never eligible for the federal oil-to-heat-pump program because of grid requirements (NRCan ↗). More in territorial energy programs.

Before you buy

1. Size it first. A CSA F280 heat-loss calculation sizes the heat pump to the house, not to the old furnace, and air sealing or insulation done first can shrink the unit you need.
2. Get approval before you buy wherever the program asks for it: Ontario's rebate and Yukon's income-qualified program pay nothing for equipment installed before approval.
3. Check the installer is registered with the program: participating contractors in Ontario, the Home Performance Contractor Network in B.C., registered contractors in Manitoba, RBQ licences in Quebec.
4. Estimate running costs before you compare quotes with our energy cost calculator, and read switching to a heat pump.
5. Keep every invoice and the equipment's model number; programs ask for them when you claim.
