Central split heat pump: eligible for LogisVert? (2026)

Yes: a split-system (central) air-to-air heat pump may be eligible for LogisVert , provided that the complete system and installation meet the criteria below. (2026)

Eligibility

• The "Efficient heat pump" measure accepts a split (central) air-to-air heat pump (one indoor unit + one outdoor unit).

• As of November 26, 2025 : the heat pump must be ENERGY STAR® certified to be eligible. Before this date, the process is carried out according to the list of appliances in effect at the time of installation.

• The dwelling must be located in Quebec, habitable year-round, built (construction completed) and supplied with electricity (Hydro-Québec network, autonomous network, municipal or cooperative network).

• Important note: if you are a tenant, the financial assistance is intended for the purchase and installation of an induction cooker or a heat pump dryer (not the installation of heat pumps).

• In stand-alone networks, customers registered with the Stand-alone Energy Network (ERA) Program are not eligible for financial assistance for the installation of heat pumps.

Technical conditions
To be eligible, the complete system (outdoor unit + indoor unit) must:

• to be new;

• be ENERGY STAR® certified;

• include an outdoor unit with a minimum rated power of 12,000 BTU/h (in air conditioning mode);

• having been purchased in Quebec (or online from a company with an address in Quebec);

• be installed in an eligible dwelling whose main heating is electric.
  Financial assistance (if all requirements are met):

• $50 / 1000 BTU/h at -8°C ( ENERGY STAR® heat pump);

• $120 / 1000 BTU/h at -8°C if the heat pump is of the "cold climate" type.
  If a point is not clear (e.g., the value in BTU/h at -8 °C ), good practice is to check it in the manufacturer's documentation and/or via the AHRI file, and then validate as needed with support 1 833 396-1888 .
