Does the LogisVert program aim for a measurable reduction in electricity consumption in Quebec?
A structuring program for residential energy efficiency
At AirGreen , we believe that the energy transition requires concrete, local, and measurable actions. Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program is precisely in line with this vision. Established to encourage Quebecers to adopt energy efficiency measures in their homes, this program offers substantial subsidies for the installation of heat pumps , high-performance household appliances , and insulation work .
But behind this generous financing offer lies a crucial question: does the LogisVert program aim to achieve a real, quantified reduction in electricity consumption in Quebec? The answer is yes—and in this article, we explore in detail the program's implicit and explicit objectives, while highlighting our field expertise acquired through numerous heat pump installations on the island of Montreal, in Laval , on the North Shore , and on the South Shore .
A clear direction: reducing residential energy consumption
Although the official LogisVert program guide does not set out quantified targets for reducing electricity consumption , the eligible measures reveal a strategic desire: to reduce energy demand during peak periods and to reduce annual consumption per dwelling.
The subsidized devices and works all target major consumption items:
-
Efficient heat pumps (central or wall-mounted)
-
Heat pump dryers
-
Induction cookers
-
Roof insulation and caulking
-
Efficient pool pumps and solar thermal systems
Hydro-Québec is thus aiming for better energy performance in each residence, by relying on more efficient technologies that reduce the amount of energy needed for heating, air conditioning and domestic uses .
Focus on the heat pump: a major lever for energy savings
Our numerous central and wall-mounted heat pump installations in the metropolitan area confirm that this device is one of the best investments for reducing electricity consumption . By replacing resistive or fossil-fuel-based heating systems, the heat pump allows you to heat a home with three times less energy .
Concrete case: Installation in Longueuil
We recently installed a FUJITSU KZAH R-32 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a single-family home in Longueuil . Thanks to its excellent coefficient of performance (COP) at -8°C and its certification on the official Hydro-Québec list , this unit is eligible for a grant of up to $2,520 , including caulking.
Our customers have already noticed a significant reduction in their monthly electricity consumption, particularly in winter. This savings is directly linked to the heat pump's superior energy efficiency and the building's improved airtightness.
Grants encourage action, but aim for lasting impact
An incentive logic for measurable results
The amounts offered by LogisVert are not symbolic. They represent real financial leverage to accelerate the energy modernization of Quebec's residential stock. For example:
-
Up to $2,520 for a high-efficiency heat pump ($140/1,000 BTU at -8°C)
-
$1,500 for roof insulation and caulking
-
$250 towards the purchase of a heat pump dryer or induction cooktop
The program also promotes the combination of several measures , with an additional bonus of 5% applied to the total eligible aid. This structure is clearly oriented towards a sustainable transformation of the energy profile of Quebec households.
Monitoring and verification: a check on energy impact
Hydro-Québec reserves the right to inspect the installation on site to ensure equipment compliance. This mechanism not only ensures the efficient use of public funds, but also allows for the measurement of actual energy savings achieved.
In addition, appliances must appear on the official list of eligible products , available online, including only energy-efficient models, tested and recognized for their low consumption.
Complementary measures: towards a synergy of savings
Energy efficiency isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. As a specialized HVAC contractor , we help our clients identify complementary measures tailored to their energy profile.
Example of a project on the North Shore
In a residence in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac , we carried out complete insulation of the roof , accompanied by the replacement of an old heating system with a GOODMAN R-32 central heat pump . Thanks to this dual approach, the house now benefits from increased comfort, better thermal stability and an annual reduction in consumption estimated at 30% .
Collective challenges and future of the network
Hydro-Québec anticipates an increase in electricity demand by 2035 , particularly due to the electrification of transportation. By acting now on residential consumption , the organization is seeking to limit costly investments in production and distribution infrastructure .
The LogisVert program thus becomes a strategic tool for smoothing out consumption peaks , while strengthening the resilience of the network.
AirGreen expertise: comprehensive support towards efficiency
At AirGreen, we don't just sell and install HVAC systems : we guide our customers every step of the way , from selecting the equipment to submitting the documents to Hydro-Québec to obtain the grant.
Our team is fully informed about the eligibility requirements , required documents, deadlines, and technical intricacies of the LogisVert program. We operate in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore with the same commitment: to provide personalized, compliant, and optimal service.
In summary: LogisVert is much more than a subsidy program
This is a real lever for transforming residential electricity consumption in Quebec . Without imposing quantified objectives on each household, LogisVert clearly directs its actions towards a structural and sustainable reduction in electricity use.
And for those who want to take concrete action, AirGreen is the trusted partner to achieve maximum efficiency and comfort while benefiting from the best subsidies available .
