What are the technical performance requirements for high-efficiency models?

Understanding the technical requirements to benefit from the LogisVert subsidy with a high-efficiency heat pump

In a context where energy efficiency is becoming an essential criterion for Quebec homeowners, Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program offers a strategic financial incentive for the purchase and installation of high-efficiency heat pumps . At AirGreen , we support our customers in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore every day in their energy transition, ensuring that their projects meet all the technical requirements set by Hydro-Québec to maximize the available financial assistance.

An essential financial opportunity for Quebec owners

Hydro-Québec is providing financial assistance of $140 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8°C for the installation of a high-efficiency heat pump , provided that the equipment and installation meet very specific criteria. In addition to this assistance, there is the possibility of a 5% bonus if combined measures are included in the same application.

At AirGreen, we ensure that we strictly adhere to these conditions to ensure our clients receive the full grant, without any unpleasant surprises.

What we do at AirGreen to guarantee you a compliant installation

Each project we carry out — whether in Brossard, Laval, Terrebonne or Longueuil — follows a rigorous process:

  1. Free home evaluation to verify eligibility.

  2. Recommendation of a high-efficiency heat pump model that meets program criteria.

  3. Complete project management , from purchase to RBQ certified installation.

  4. Provision of documents necessary for the grant application .

  5. Personalized assistance when creating your profile on the logisvert.ca portal.


Concrete example: Successful installation in Sainte-Julie

We recently installed a Gree Extreme 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a single-family home in Sainte-Julie , fully compliant with the AHRI standard. We also carried out caulking work targeting all openings (doors, windows, hatches). The result? Our client benefited from:

  • From an aid of $2,520 (18 x $140)

  • An additional 5% bonus thanks to the combination of two measures

  • Increased comfort and reduced energy consumption from the first bill


Practical tips to avoid common mistakes

  • Never replace a broken heat pump expecting financial assistance. It must be installed as part of an energy improvement project, not a defective replacement.

  • Make sure the model you choose is on the LogisVert list BEFORE purchasing.

  • Do not exceed 9 months after installation to submit the assistance request.

  • Combine eligible measures into a single application to benefit from the 5% bonus .
