Understanding the financial assistance ceilings of the LogisVert program
When planning a heat pump installation or other energy-efficient improvement work in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore or the South Shore, one question always comes up: “What is the maximum amount of financial assistance I am entitled to with the LogisVert grant?” At AirGreen, we support our clients every step of the way to optimize available grants and ensure a beneficial energy transition.
A generous subsidy… but capped
Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program was designed to encourage homeowners to adopt concrete energy efficiency measures. However, like all public financial assistance, it has certain limits. The maximum amount you can receive is capped at 100% of eligible costs related to the purchase and installation of the equipment .
This means that it is impossible to receive a "credit" or refund greater than the total amount disbursed. This rule aims to ensure the fairness of the program, while targeting actual expenditures for energy performance.
What this means in concrete terms
Let's say you're installing a high-efficiency wall-mounted heat pump in your single-family home in Laval, and the total cost (including equipment and installation) is $4,200. If the unit is eligible for $140/1,000 BTU/h at -8°C, and it's an 18,000 BTU model, the theoretical assistance would be $2,520.
However, if you also had eligible caulking work done at a cost of $1,800, you could file a combined application under the “high-efficiency heat pump + caulking” measure , and reach an eligible total of $6,000, thus exceeding the maximum grant for the heat pump alone.
In this example, you may also be eligible for 5% enhanced financing , applicable when several measures are combined in the same application.
The importance of the invoice and compliance with the conditions
At AirGreen, we always emphasize an aspect that is too often overlooked: documentation . In order to receive the maximum allowable amount, your invoices must be clear, precise and detailed . They must indicate:
-
The name of the client corresponding to the registered owner of the property.
-
The full address of the facility.
-
The installer's RBQ, TPS and TVQ license numbers.
-
Technical descriptions, including the AHRI number for eligible heat pumps.
Without these elements, even if you purchased an eligible device, your grant could be refused or reduced.
Beware of ineligible expenses
Certain current expenses are not covered by the LogisVert subsidy , even if they are essential for installation:
-
Work outside habitable areas (for example in an uninsulated attic).
-
Replacement of a single component (e.g., an indoor or outdoor unit only).
-
Devices purchased outside Quebec.
-
Products not included in Hydro-Québec's eligibility list.
The role of subsidized financing
Hydro-Québec offers enhanced financing of 5% if you combine at least two eligible measures in a single application. This percentage is applied to the total amount of assistance granted , provided that both measures are actually approved. This is an excellent lever for customers who want to improve the overall envelope of their property, such as:
-
A wall-mounted heat pump combined with caulking work .
-
A heat pump dryer and an induction cooker .
-
Installing a solar pool heating system with an efficient pump.
At AirGreen, we systematically advise our clients on the optimal strategy for combining measures to benefit as much as possible from this bonus.
Real cases at AirGreen: maximizing the LogisVert subsidy
We recently assisted a Brossard client with the installation of a 24,000 BTU Gree Extreme heat pump , whose efficiency at -8°C entitled him to a grant of $1,860 . At the same time, we also carried out insulation and caulking work on his home. The total eligible cost exceeded $4,500 , and he received an additional 5% bonus , for a total reimbursement of over $4,725.
These cases demonstrate that when well prepared, a request can reach the maximum ceiling permitted by the LogisVert program, without exceeding the limit of 100% of the cost.
What you need to remember
-
The maximum amount of financial assistance is equal to 100% of the purchase and installation costs .
-
It is not possible to receive a grant greater than your expenses .
-
To maximize your grant, group together several eligible measures and comply with the specific conditions.
-
Invoices and photos must be complete, detailed and sent within 9 months of the work .
