Changing your address and reapplying for a LogisVert grant: What you need to know
Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program was designed to encourage Quebec homeowners and tenants to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. One of the most common questions we receive at AirGreen concerns moving: "Can I reapply for the LogisVert grant if I move into a new home?" The short answer is: yes, in most cases, it's possible. But as always, the details matter.
In this article, we guide you through the criteria, conditions, and best practices to maximize your chances of obtaining new LogisVert financial assistance after a move, while respecting the program's requirements. Whether you are in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore or the South Shore , this article is directly relevant to you.
Understanding the principle of eligibility: a grant per house, not per person
The LogisVert program is designed to subsidize energy efficiency work carried out in a specific home . This means that:
-
You can reapply each time you move into a different eligible residence .
-
You cannot receive assistance twice for the same type of work in the same residence .
At AirGreen, we have supported many clients who have benefited from the LogisVert program in their old home, then again in their new home, particularly for the installation of a Gree Extrême 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump or a Bosch BOVA central system .
Eligibility criteria for reapplying for LogisVert after moving
Here are the conditions you must meet to submit a valid new application:
Eligible housing type
The new residence must be:
-
Located in Quebec
-
Powered by a recognized electrical system (Hydro-Québec, autonomous or municipal network)
-
Residential accommodation: single-family home, semi-detached house, row house, condo, multiplex or building with fewer than 20 units.
Applicant's status
-
You must own or rent the new residence.
-
If you are the owner , your name must appear on bills and proof of ownership (property tax or deed of sale).
-
If you are a tenant , your name and address must appear on the bills , and only certain measures (such as a heat pump dryer or induction stove) are eligible.
Eligible works
You can reapply for different or the same measures at a new address, provided they have never been subsidized in that home before. Some of the most popular works include:
-
Efficient heat pump (wall-mounted or central)
-
High efficiency heat pump with caulking
-
Roof insulation and caulking
-
Heat pump dryer
-
Induction cooker
-
Efficient pool pump
-
Solar collectors for swimming pools
Concrete example: two grants for two different houses
Let's take the example of one of our clients in Brossard . He had initially installed a FUJITSU KZAH R-32 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in his condo and received a $1,380 LogisVert grant .
Two years later, he bought a house in Blainville (North Shore) . This time, he opted for a 36,000 BTU Bosch BOVA central heat pump , coupled with a forced-air distribution system. The result: a new application was submitted, with the key to more than $3,000 in LogisVert subsidies for this new address.
