Do I need a NAS, NEQ or GST/QST number to apply?

What you need to know about the administrative requirements to benefit from the LogisVert subsidy

As part of Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program, many homeowners and tenants in Quebec are seeking financial assistance for the installation of heat pumps or other energy efficiency measures. However, one question often arises: is it necessary to provide a SSN, NEQ, or GST/QST number to submit your application? At AirGreen , we support our clients every step of the way, particularly to ensure the administrative compliance of their applications. Here's everything you need to know to avoid errors and speed up the processing of your file.

What are the NAS, NEQ and GST/QST number used for in the LogisVert program?

Hydro-Québec requires that each participant provide a form of tax identification in order to generate a Relevé 27 – Government Payments . This tax document is mandatory for any financial assistance paid under the LogisVert program, whether it is a grant for a wall-mounted heat pump , a central heat pump , an insulation system , or any other eligible measure.

Three types of identifiers accepted by Hydro-Québec:

1. The NAS (Social Insurance Number)

The NAS is required for individuals applying on a personal basis, outside of a commercial or rental context. If you are the owner-occupier of your primary residence, the NAS is generally sufficient.

2. The NEQ (Quebec Business Number)

The NEQ is required for rental properties or if the installation is carried out in a building owned by a business (legal entity, general partnership, etc.). In this case, Hydro-Québec considers the income as property income and the NEQ allows the Relevé 27 to be produced in the name of the business.

3. The GST/QST number

This number is required if the request is made in the context of taxable business activities, or if the billing for the installation or product is done with a registered company that charges taxes.

Important : The choice of tax ID depends on the applicant's profile and the type of housing. A tenant will need to provide their social security number, while a rental property owner will need to provide a NEQ or GST/QST number, depending on their situation.

Concrete cases encountered by AirGreen in the field

✅ Installation of a Gree Extreme 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in Laval

The client was the owner-occupant of a family bungalow. We carried out the complete installation of the heat pump and then assisted him with the LogisVert application. The client simply provided his social security number , and the $1,704 grant was approved without delay.

✅ Project to move into a duplex in Montreal with rental income

Another customer owned a duplex , one of the units of which was rented out. In this case, Hydro-Québec required an NEQ because the grant was for a property generating property income . Thanks to our support, the customer provided the correct documents from the start, thus avoiding any refusal.

Why is this important?

Submitting an incomplete application or with an incorrect tax ID may cause:

• processing delays exceeding 12 weeks ;

• an application deemed ineligible ;

• or even a definitive refusal of the grant.

How to provide these credentials?

Hydro-Québec never asks you to send your SSN by email. Once the request has been submitted via the www.logisvert.ca portal, you will receive a secure email inviting you to send the information via an encrypted platform. This method guarantees the protection of your personal data, in accordance with the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies .

AirGreen Recommendations to Speed ​​Up Your Application

• Use a company that is RBQ certified and registered with the Quebec Enterprise Registrar, such as AirGreen.

• Verify that all invoices include the company's GST/QST numbers, RBQ number, customer name and installation address.

• Anticipate processing times : after installation, you have 9 months to submit your application .
