Heat Pump Rebates in Canada (2026)
Heat pumps qualify for the largest home-energy rebates in Canada, which is a big part of why they pencil out so well. The programs come from three places: the federal government, your province, and your utility, and they often stack. Here is what is current, by level and by province. Programs change often, so use this as a map and let your installer confirm the exact amounts you qualify for.
Federal programs
Canada Greener Homes Loan (closed)
The federal interest-free loan of up to $40,000 closed to new applicants on October 2, 2025. Only previously approved loans are still being funded. Many web pages still reference it as available, so be aware it is no longer accepting new homeowners.
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA)
A federal program for households that heat primarily with oil, worth up to $10,000 (up to $15,000 for income-qualified households where a province co-delivers it) toward switching to a heat pump. Applications close July 31, 2026. If you heat with oil, this is the one to ask your installer about.
Canada Greener Homes Grant (ended)
The upfront federal grant that paid for retrofits closed to new applicants in early 2024. Many web pages still reference it, so be aware it is no longer accepting new homeowners.
Heat pump rebates by province
Provincial and utility programs stack with the federal supports. Pick your province for the details.
Ontario
Ontario homeowners can take a real chunk off a heat-pump install through the Home Renovation Savings Program, the provincial program co-delivered by Save on Energy and Enbridge.
See Ontario rebates British Columbia
British Columbia has the deepest heat-pump rebates in the country.
See British Columbia rebates Alberta
Alberta does not run a broad provincial heat-pump rebate the way BC and the Atlantic provinces do, but the federal supports still apply and the running cost of a heat pump in Alberta is competitive.
See Alberta rebates New Brunswick
New Brunswick runs real heat-pump support through NB Power alongside the federal programs, and with many homes on oil or electric heat the switch to a heat pump pays off.

Heat pump rebate FAQ
Is there still a federal heat pump rebate in Canada?
The upfront Canada Greener Homes Grant closed in early 2024, and the Canada Greener Homes Loan (up to $40,000) also closed to new applicants on October 2, 2025. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program remains open for oil-heated homes, and the income-qualified Greener Homes Affordability Program delivers no-cost retrofits through provincial partners. Provincial and utility rebates remain the main source of savings for most homeowners.
Which province has the best heat pump rebates?
British Columbia has had the deepest heat-pump rebates through CleanBC and the utilities, and the Atlantic provinces run strong programs too. Ontario delivers rebates through the Home Renovation Savings Program, co-delivered by Save on Energy and Enbridge. Amounts and availability change, so check your province page and confirm with your installer.
Can rebates be stacked?
Often yes. Federal financing, a provincial rebate, and a utility rebate can frequently be combined on the same heat pump. The exact stack depends on your province, your home, and current program rules, which your installer sorts out as part of the quote.

"We installed our system over a year ago and everything went pretty smoothly. When I had trouble with the system I had someone responding within an hour or so of my support ticket being opened. Great system so far and we love being as green as we can by having solar."

Pair it with solar
Power your heat pump with your own solar
A heat pump runs on electricity, so the cheapest way to run one is to make that electricity yourself. Pair a heat pump with home solar and a battery and you cut the running cost, keep heating and cooling through an outage, and lock in your energy bill for years. Homeowners electrifying their heating are the strongest fit for solar plus storage.
- ✓ Run your heating and cooling on power from your own roof
- ✓ Battery backup keeps the heat pump running during outages
- ✓ Lock in your energy cost instead of riding rising utility rates
