Yes, LogisVert actively encourages the replacement of an old oil or gas system with an efficient heat pump.
An energy shift supported by substantial subsidies for Quebec homeowners
At AirGreen , we know that many homeowners in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , the North Shore , and the South Shore are now considering switching from their oil- or natural gas-fired heating systems. Not only are these systems expensive in the long run, but they also generate significant GHG emissions. Thanks to Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program, this transition to an energy-efficient heat pump is now strongly encouraged by concrete, clearly defined financial subsidies that are accessible to a large residential population.
Why replace an old oil or gas system?
Energy savings, reduced carbon footprint and increased comfort
Fossil fuel systems , although they have long been the norm, are now obsolete in several ways:
-
High operating costs related to fuels.
-
Frequent maintenance and environmental risks.
-
Thermal discomfort (uneven distribution, slow response).
-
And above all: not eligible for Hydro-Québec subsidies if kept as the main system.
Switching to a high-performance heat pump allows you to heat and cool efficiently, while reducing annual energy consumption by up to 30 to 60% .
Heat pumps are indeed eligible for LogisVert subsidies
Heat pumps eligible according to LogisVert criteria
The official LogisVert 2025 guide confirms that heat pumps (including wall-mounted and central models) are eligible for generous financial assistance provided the unit is new, purchased in Quebec and installed by a qualified contractor (RBQ and registered with the Registraire des entreprises).
Heat pumps must appear on the list of eligible products published by Hydro-Québec (official link: List of eligible heat pumps ).
Grant for a heat pump installed to replace an old fossil system
Up to $140 per 1000 BTU/h at -8°C capacity for high-efficiency heat pumps
Hydro-Québec offers two types of subsidies for heat pumps:
-
Efficient heat pump (standard model eligible): subsidy calculated according to the table in the official list.
-
High-efficiency heat pump combined with caulking work : increased grant, $140/1000 BTU/h at -8°C .
Real example (at AirGreen):
We recently replaced an old oil system in a single-family home in Boisbriand (North Shore) with a Bosch BOVA 36,000 BTU/h central heat pump . Thanks to its high efficiency, the client received a $5,040 grant, in addition to a 5% bonus thanks to the addition of a heat pump dryer.
Strict requirements to be met to be eligible
Installation, documents and evidence
Here is what the LogisVert program requires to approve an application:
-
Proof of purchase and installation including:
-
The installer's RBQ license number.
-
The HRI number of the product.
-
The exact description of the work performed.
-
-
Clear photo of the outdoor unit nameplate.
-
Purchase invoice with GST/QST numbers.
-
Title deed (tax bill or bill of sale).
Combine measures to receive a 5% bonus
Financial bonus: an interesting incentive
If you combine the installation of a heat pump with another eligible product (e.g., heat pump dryer or induction cooktop), you are eligible for a 5% bonus on the total grant received.
At AirGreen, we often recommend that families undergoing a complete renovation combine:
-
High efficiency heat pump
-
Thermal envelope sealing
-
Heat pump dryer To maximize the subsidy and reduce overall consumption.
AirGreen: compliant and subsidized installations
Field expertise: client case study in Longueuil
A client who owns a gas-heated duplex in Longueuil contacted us about upgrading his system. After conducting an energy study, we proposed:
-
A Goodman R-32 central heat pump .
-
Caulking work on windows, doors, vents.
Result: a combined LogisVert grant of $4,480 , quick installation, more comfortable home, and an anticipated 35% annual reduction in energy costs .
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my old gas system as a backup system?
No. The guide specifies that to be eligible , the heat pump must become the main heating system . Gas or oil cannot remain the reference system.
Can you receive a grant for a wall-mounted heat pump?
Yes. Wall-mounted mini-splits , when they meet the eligibility list, are eligible for subsidies. For example, a Gree Sapphire 18,000 BTU heat pump installed in Saint-Lambert allowed a customer to obtain $1,704 in assistance.
Conclusion: Clear support for replacing fossil fuels
Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program is a strategic opportunity for homeowners in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and on the North and South Shores. It actively promotes the replacement of gas or oil systems with modern, efficient, electrical, and eco-responsible solutions. AirGreen supports you every step of the way to maximize your grants and ensure a compliant, sustainable, and efficient installation.
