Heat pump rebates in Québec for 2026, explained in English

Hydro-Québec's LogisVert portal is French-only, and three other programs closed or stopped covering heating in 2026. Here's what is still available for a heat pump in the Eastern Townships, what you need to apply, and the mistakes that cost people their rebate.

Updated

What’s open, what’s closed

Program Status for a heat pump
LogisVert (Hydro-Québec) Open
Chauffez vert (Québec) Closed March 31, 2026
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (Canada) No new applications since July 31, 2026
Rénoclimat, heating component (Québec) Stopped funding heating on May 1, 2024

Several websites still add LogisVert and Rénoclimat together (“up to $11,950”). For the heat pump itself, only LogisVert applies. Rénoclimat can still help with other work in the same house, such as insulation or a heat recovery ventilator.

How LogisVert is calculated

The rebate depends on the heat pump’s heating capacity measured at −8 °C:

  • $50 per 1,000 BTU/h for an ENERGY STAR model;
  • $120 per 1,000 BTU/h for an ENERGY STAR cold-climate model.

A cold-climate unit delivering 18,000 BTU/h at −8 °C earns $2,160; a standard ENERGY STAR unit delivering 14,000 BTU/h earns $700. The number in the model name is not the one that counts. Look up the exact figure in Hydro-Québec’s eligible heat pump list or use our rebate calculator.

Who qualifies

Your home must be in Québec, residential, finished, habitable year-round, and supplied by Hydro-Québec, an off-grid network, or a municipal or cooperative network. Customers of Hydro-Sherbrooke, Hydro-Magog and Hydro-Coaticook are eligible. Houses, cottages habitable year-round, condos and multiplexes qualify.

You must be the owner: for a heat pump, the rebate is paid to the owner.

The equipment must be new, ENERGY STAR certified, bought in Québec (in store, or online from a business with a Québec address), on the eligible list, with an outdoor unit of at least 12,000 BTU/h cooling capacity. Air-to-air ductless and central systems qualify.

The installer must be registered with the Québec business registry, hold the appropriate RBQ licence and be a member of their trade corporation.

What doesn’t qualify

  • indoor units installed outside the insulated envelope, such as in the attic;
  • replacing a single coil or a single indoor or outdoor unit;
  • replacements covered by a warranty or insurance;
  • a central heat pump in a home that already has a geothermal system.

Applying, step by step

The portal at logisvert.ca is in French only. Have these ready:

  1. Proof of ownership: your municipal tax bill or the first page of your deed. The name on the invoice must match.
  2. The paid invoice, showing the invoice number and date, installation date, your name and the installation address, the contractor’s name, GST and QST numbers and RBQ licence number, a description of the product and work, the AHRI or ENERGY STAR number, and the cost.
  3. A clear photo of the outdoor unit’s nameplate showing the model and serial number.

Apply within 9 months of installation. Processing takes 10 to 12 weeks once the file is complete. If you also insulate your attic and file both measures together within those 9 months, a 5% bonus applies.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the LogisVert heat pump rebate?

$50 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C for an ENERGY STAR heat pump, or $120 per 1,000 BTU/h for an ENERGY STAR cold-climate model. It can't exceed the pre-tax cost.

Is Chauffez vert still available?

No. Québec's Chauffez vert program for replacing oil or propane heating ended on March 31, 2026.

Can I still apply for the federal $10,000 oil-to-heat-pump grant?

Not as a new applicant: the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program stopped taking applications on July 31, 2026. Approved households have until January 31, 2027 to finish the work and upload receipts.

Does Rénoclimat pay for heat pumps?

No. Since May 1, 2024, Rénoclimat no longer funds installing or replacing a heating system, heat pumps included.

Can tenants get the rebate?

Not for a heat pump. For that measure, LogisVert pays the owner of the home.
