Understanding the logic behind limiting LogisVert requests to a single address: a principle of fairness and efficiency
As part of Quebec's energy transition , Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program is a key initiative to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient technologies such as efficient heat pumps , central heating systems , and heat pump dryers . But one rule often raises questions: why can only one LogisVert grant application be submitted per address? At AirGreen, we understand that this restriction may seem restrictive. However, it is based on clear logic, designed to maximize the program's impact while ensuring a fair and transparent distribution of resources.
Only one subsidized project per address: a rule serving energy equity
The rule of one grant application per address is primarily intended to ensure that each eligible residence in Quebec has the same opportunity to obtain funding for its energy improvement work. In other words, this limitation prevents the same building or dwelling from receiving multiple grants for similar interventions , which could distort the objective of the program.
Ensure a fair distribution of public funds
Hydro-Québec manages a budget allocated to improving residential energy performance , financed in part by electricity distribution revenues. To optimize the use of these funds , the rule limits the number of subsidies granted for the same civic address . This makes it possible to:
-
Prevent abuse or repeated requests on the same installation.
-
Promote access to the program for households in all regions: Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore .
-
Maximize the collective impact on energy consumption in Quebec's residential stock.
A lever to encourage rigorous planning
By requiring a single application , the program encourages homeowners to strategically plan their energy-efficient renovations . This approach encourages individuals to bundle several eligible measures (such as the installation of a high-efficiency heat pump and caulking work) into a single application , which opens the door to a grant bonus of up to 5% through the Enhanced Financing Mechanism for Multiple Measures .
Practical case: how this rule applies in an HVAC installation carried out by AirGreen
Take the recent example of a wall-mounted heat pump installation in Laval carried out by our team at AirGreen. The owner had a high-efficiency Gree Extrême 18,000 BTU heat pump installed, which is eligible for a $1,704 LogisVert grant. Under the program rules, he will not be able to reapply for LogisVert for the same address if, in six months, he decides to install a caulking system or purchase a new heat pump dryer.
However, if this client had planned his renovations in advance and grouped several measures in a single application, he would not only have obtained the subsidies for each measure, but also the 5% bonus on the total amount , in accordance with Annex II of the LogisVert 2025 guide .
Important details: exception, eligibility and owner responsibilities
What exactly does the concept of "same address" cover?
The rule applies to each dwelling identified by a distinct civic address , including condominium units, intergenerational homes and multiplexes of 19 units or fewer. In an apartment building, each apartment with its own electricity meter may be eligible, but only one LogisVert application will be accepted per dwelling .
Case of co-ownerships and multiplexes
In a multiplex , each owner-occupied unit may be the subject of a separate application, provided that:
-
The measures should be implemented in the private unit , not in the common areas.
-
The applicant must be the owner and provide proof of ownership and residence.
The owner's role: vigilance and anticipation
It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that:
-
The application must be complete and accurate from the outset.
-
All planned measures should be implemented within nine months of first implementation.
-
No duplicate requests will be submitted for the same accommodation.
Otherwise, the application may be refused or subject to a refund of the financial assistance , as clearly indicated in article 4.1 of the LogisVert guide.
How does this rule benefit AirGreen customers?
At AirGreen, this rule allows us to better support our clients in the design of their projects. By grouping the installation of a central heat pump, the addition of caulking and even the purchase of a heat pump dryer into a coherent strategy , we help our clients:
-
Maximize their subsidies .
-
Reduce their long-term energy costs .
-
Obtain a complete, compliant, and high-performance installation.
This is what we did in a recent project on the South Shore , in Longueuil, where a client had a Bosch BIVA IDS Premium heat pump installed, while carrying out waterproofing work. Result? Maximum grant obtained, including the 5% bonus thanks to a single well-structured application.
Our tips for taking advantage of the LogisVert single request rule
-
Make a complete diagnosis of your energy efficiency needs.
-
Group your projects : heat pump, caulking, dryer, etc.
-
Plan execution within nine months .
-
Keep all necessary evidence : invoices, photos, RBQ license numbers.
-
Contact a certified company like AirGreen , which knows the rules of the program and will assist you in submitting your application in accordance with the rules.
Conclusion: a well-thought-out rule for fair and effective subsidies
Limiting LogisVert applications to one per address is not a constraint, but a strategic way to optimize the program's reach . As experts in HVAC system installation in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore , we know how this rule promotes well-designed, better-financed and more energy-efficient projects.
At AirGreen , we support our clients from start to finish: from assessing eligible measures to preparing a unique, comprehensive, and strategic application.
