Installing a central heat pump: a measure that is indeed eligible for the LogisVert program
Energy efficiency is more than ever a key concern for Quebec homeowners. Thanks to Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program , a question often comes up among our customers: "Is the installation of a central heat pump eligible for a grant?" At AirGreen, we confirm: yes, the installation of a central heat pump is indeed eligible , provided certain technical and administrative criteria are met. Here's everything you need to know.
A clear answer: yes, if the conditions are met.
The LogisVert program aims to encourage residential owners to adopt concrete energy efficiency measures by offering them financial support for several types of equipment, including high-efficiency central heat pumps .
According to the official participation guide (version 1.3 – January 2025), central air-source heat pumps with a split system , comprising an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, are explicitly eligible , as long as they appear on Hydro-Québec's list of eligible models.
Why choose a central heat pump?
Optimal comfort for the whole house
A central heat pump distributes heating and cooling evenly throughout all rooms, providing superior comfort to traditional wall-mounted systems. It is particularly recommended for homes that already have ducted air distribution .
Energy efficiency and savings
Models eligible for the LogisVert program must demonstrate high energy efficiency , which translates into reduced electricity consumption , particularly important during the winter heating period.

Concrete example: AirGreen installation of an eligible central heat pump in Laval
In a recent project in Laval, we installed a Bosch BOVA36HDN1-M20G central heat pump (36,000 BTU), combined with a compatible electric furnace, for a client looking to maximize the comfort of their single-story home.
Project details:
-
House Type: Single-story bungalow with finished basement

Work carried out: removal of the old central air conditioner, adaptation of the furnace, installation of the new unit with complete connection
-
Amount of grant obtained: $1,800 (depending on admissible power)
-
Project duration: 2 days
Thanks to our rigor and experience with grant programs, the client received their grant in less than 10 weeks after submitting the application.
The grant amount: how much can you get?
For high-energy-efficiency central heat pumps , the subsidy offered by Hydro-Québec via LogisVert is:
-
$140 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8°C
Example: for a 36,000 BTU/h heat pump, the grant amount is $5,040 .
⚠️ Important: The total grant amount cannot exceed 100% of the total installation cost (equipment + labor).
