Is the LogisVert program temporary or permanent? An essential analysis for residential owners in Quebec
Since its launch , Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program has generated significant interest among homeowners and tenants looking to reduce their energy consumption while benefiting from attractive subsidies. But one question often comes up in conversations with our clients in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore : Is the LogisVert program temporary or permanent? At AirGreen, long-time HVAC installation experts, we provide you with a clear, comprehensive answer based on official Hydro-Québec documents.
Understanding the origin and objectives of the LogisVert program
The LogisVert – Efficient Housing program was established by Hydro-Québec to accelerate the residential energy transition. It aims to encourage the implementation of energy efficiency measures through direct financial assistance to homeowners and, in some cases, tenants.
Eligible measures include:
-
the installation of an efficient or high-efficiency heat pump (wall-mounted or central),
-
the purchase and installation of a heat pump dryer ,
-
roof insulation and caulking work,
-
the purchase of an induction cooker ,
-
or even the installation of a solar system for swimming pools .
No indication of immediate expiry in the official documentation
In the official guide updated in January 2025, Hydro-Québec specifies that the terms of the program are subject to change without notice , but no specific end date is announced . However, one important aspect should be noted: participants must submit their grant application within nine (9) months following the implementation of the eligible measure .
This means that, for the time being , the program is active and continues to process applications on an ongoing basis. However, like any government or parapublic program, its duration will depend on the budgets allocated, the results obtained and Hydro-Québec's strategic directions.
Why do some people think LogisVert is temporary?
Several factors fuel this perception:
-
The current version of the program is dated and numbered (Version 1.3 – January 2025), which suggests future revisions or editions.
-
Eligibility requirements, grant amounts and eligible devices are subject to change at any time .
-
Other similar programs, such as Rénoclimat or Chauffez Vert , have been interrupted, adapted or replaced.
A concrete example: installation of a wall-mounted heat pump eligible for LogisVert
At AirGreen, we recently installed a Gree Extreme 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a plex in Longueuil . The unit was on the official list of eligible models, with performance that met the program's energy efficiency requirements .
We supported our client in:
-
verification of the model's eligibility (using the AHRI number),
-
collection of required documents (detailed invoices, photos of nameplates),
-
and the complete submission of the file via the logisvert.ca portal .
The result? A grant of $1,704 was awarded a few weeks later.
Hydro-Québec's commitments in the LogisVert guide
Here's what you need to know from Chapter 4 of the official guide :
-
Hydro-Québec reserves the right to terminate or modify the program without notice.
-
It is the participant's responsibility to check the applicable terms and conditions before each request.
-
Participants must avoid receiving a double subsidy for the same measure (e.g.: LogisVert and another government program).
In other words, the LogisVert program is active , but it is not permanent . It is implicitly extended through updated versions , without any guarantee of unlimited duration.
