How does the LogisVert program differ from older programs like Chauffez Vert?

A redesigned program for maximum energy efficiency in Quebec

At AirGreen, we have helped hundreds of clients in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore through their energy transition. With Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, grants for ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps and energy-efficiency work are taking a new form. Chauffez vert, the former Québec program for converting oil or propane systems, is closed: no application received after March 31, 2026 is accepted. LogisVert offers a more complete, flexible approach that is better suited to the realities of Québec’s residential market.

A Paradigm Shift in HVAC Subsidies

Unlike Chauffez vert, which mainly targeted replacing fossil-fuel heating systems, LogisVert focuses on overall energy efficiency and improving homes’ thermal performance. The program is not limited to a simple system conversion: it also rewards homeowners who invest in several combined energy-efficiency measures, such as installing a high-performance heat pump AND roof insulation with air sealing.

A wider reach, for more types of residences

LogisVert applies to a wide range of housing:

• Houses (single-family, semi-detached, row houses, mobile homes)

• Co-ownerships

• Multiplex

• Residential buildings with up to 19 units

• Individual apartments in buildings with 20 or more dwellings , if each unit has an individual electricity meter

This extension is crucial for densely populated areas like Montreal or Laval , where condominiums and apartment buildings dominate.

Improved and better targeted eligible measures

Installation of an ENERGY STAR or ENERGY STAR cold-climate heat pump

Heat pumps (central or wall-mounted) are at the heart of the LogisVert program. For a model to be eligible, it must appear on the official list of eligible heat pumps published by Hydro-Québec and meet specific requirements, including energy performance measured at -8°C.

Financial aid :

• ENERGY STAR heat pump: $50 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C (e.g. $900 for 18,000 BTU/h at -8 °C).

• ENERGY STAR cold-climate heat pump: $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C. So, for a model that delivers 18,000 BTU/h at -8 °C: a $2,160 grant.

Roof insulation and air sealing

Another measure: roof insulation with air sealing is subsidized in homes mainly heated with electricity, provided the insulation reaches RSI 8.8 (R-50) and every possible air leak is sealed (windows, doors, vents, attic hatches, fireplaces, etc.).

Financial assistance: $1,500 for the complete work (insulation and air sealing).

Bonus for multiple measurements

A major innovation of the LogisVert program is the 5% financing bonus , granted if you carry out at least two eligible measures in the same application (e.g.: heat pump + induction cooker).

Concrete example:

• Heat pump: $1,704

• Induction cooker: $250

• Total: $1,954 + 5% bonus = $2,051.70

Technical details and eligibility

General conditions for any measure

• The building must be residential , located in Quebec , and connected to a recognized electrical system.

• The work must be carried out by a company registered with the Registraire des entreprises du Québec and holding a valid RBQ license .

• The equipment installed must be new , purchased in Quebec , and installed in a dwelling inhabited year-round .

• The program is open to owners AND tenants (for certain measures).

Deadline for filing an application

The application must be submitted within 9 months of the installation of the first measure. Any delay may render the grant invalid .

How does LogisVert stand out from Chauffez Vert?

Real testimonial from an AirGreen customer: Montreal, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie

In February 2025, our team installed an 18,000 BTU Fujitsu KZAH R-32 wall-mounted heat pump in a Montreal duplex. The client also had all windows and exterior doors re-caulked. Thanks to the LogisVert program, they received:

• $2,520 for the heat pump and air sealing (combined measure in effect at the time, $140 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C)

• Today, the same capacity would qualify for $2,160 with an ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified model, with no mandatory air sealing

• Air sealing alone is no longer subsidized: it is part of the Roof insulation measure ($1,500)

Total received: $2,520

This project was completed in two days, with a complete quote sent via the LogisVert portal the following week. AirGreen assisted the client in preparing all required documents: detailed invoices, unit photos, RBQ numbers, HRI numbers, proof of ownership, etc.
