How much financial assistance is available per BTU for a high-efficiency heat pump?

A strategic subsidy for optimal energy efficiency

When it comes to investing in a high-efficiency heat pump , homeowners in Greater Montreal— Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore —can count on a significant financial boost thanks to Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program . This program offers financial assistance of $140 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8°C , a concrete measure to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. At AirGreen , we have a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of this program and support our clients every step of the way to maximize their savings.

Understanding the calculation of the LogisVert subsidy per BTU

The amount of financial assistance for a high-efficiency heat pump is proportional to the power of the outdoor unit , measured in BTU/h at a temperature of -8°C. For example:

  • 12,000 BTU heat pump at -8°C → Grant: $1,680

  • 18,000 BTU heat pump at -8°C → Grant: $2,520

  • 24,000 BTU heat pump at -8°C → Grant: $3,360

This method of calculation allows owners to precisely assess the amount to which they are entitled , depending on the model installed.

Important : The heat pump must appear on the list of eligible devices published by Hydro-Québec, with a valid AHRI number .

Concrete example of installation by AirGreen: Laval, February 2025

In Laval, we recently installed a FUJITSU KZAH R-32 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump , with a performance at -8°C that meets the program criteria. Thanks to our support, the client received a direct grant of $2,520 .

The installation was completed in one day, despite the challenge of wall access in a confined area. Our team used reinforced wall brackets and an optimized drain configuration to ensure reliable water drainage in winter .


The role of caulking in the amount of aid

In some cases, the high-efficiency heat pump must be combined with caulking work to maximize eligibility:

  • All potential openings must be sealed: windows, doors, attic access hatches, hood vents , etc.

  • The workforce must be qualified , with a separate RBQ company if necessary.

At AirGreen, we partner with certified experts to offer this comprehensive caulking service , allowing our customers to validate their eligibility risk-free .


Documentation required to file an application

Here are the elements that we help our clients gather to create a complete file:

  • Detailed purchase and installation invoice , with RBQ, GST/QST numbers, and mention of the AHRI number

  • Clear photo of the nameplate on the outdoor unit

  • Proof of ownership : municipal tax bill or deed of sale

  • List of caulking work , if applicable

AirGreen Tip : A well-structured and compliant request often allows for a response within 10 to 12 weeks . We personally monitor the file via the portal www.logisvert.ca .


LogisVert Bonus: earn an additional 5%

When you combine the heat pump with one or more other eligible measures in the same application (e.g.: induction cooktop, heat pump dryer, roof insulation), a 5% bonus on the total amount of the grant is offered to you.

At AirGreen, we advise you on the best combinations of measures to maximize your reimbursement , particularly for comprehensive renovation projects.
