Frequently Asked Questions

What heat pump rebates are available in Canada?▾
Canadian homeowners can access provincial programs, and income-qualified households can access the federal Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (no-cost retrofits including heat pumps, active in MB, BC, QC, NS, and PEI). BC residents can access CleanBC income-qualified rebates up to $16,000, and BC Hydro offers up to $4,000 for electrically heated homes (plus a $1,000 bonus for installs invoiced by Oct 31, 2026). Ontario pays up to $7,500 for cold-climate heat pumps. Note: the federal OHPA oil-to-heat-pump grant closed to applications July 31, 2026, and the Greener Homes Loan closed October 2025. Use our Rebates Hub to find your province — data verified August 2026.
Do Canadian heat pump rebates stack?▾
Some combinations are allowed, but not all. In BC, CleanBC income-qualified rebates (up to $16,000) and BC Hydro rebates (up to $4,000) each have their own eligibility — BC Hydro applies to electrically heated homes, CleanBC to income-qualified fuel-switching. Each program has its own rules and application timeline — always register before purchasing equipment.
Is the federal OHPA oil-to-heat-pump grant still available?▾
No. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program closed to new applications on July 31, 2026. Approved applicants have until early 2027 to complete paperwork. Oil-heated households should now look at their provincial programs and, if income-qualified, the federal Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (no-cost retrofits, active in MB, BC, QC, NS, and PEI as of mid-2026).
Do I need a licensed contractor to claim Canadian heat pump rebates?▾
Most Canadian rebate programs require installation by a registered contractor. BC programs require an HPCN (Heat Pump Contractor Network) registered installer. Always confirm contractor eligibility with the program administrator before signing a contract.
Does my electrical panel need an upgrade for a heat pump in Canada?▾
Many Canadian homes — especially older ones — have 100A panels that may lack capacity for a heat pump plus existing loads. Use our free CEC Rule 8-200 panel auditor to check your panel before installation. Most heat pumps require 30–60A of dedicated capacity. A panel upgrade costs $3,000–$6,000 but is often eligible for additional rebates.
