Tips to Benefit from LogisVert Grants Without Administrative Errors

Avoid Common Pitfalls and Maximize Your Grant with Expert Advice from AirGreen

One of the main advantages of installing a central heat pump or an energy-efficient HVAC system in Québec is undoubtedly access to LogisVert grants offered by Hydro-Québec. These financial incentives can significantly reduce the cost of a residential or commercial HVAC project—as long as every requirement is strictly followed. At AirGreen, we’ve helped hundreds of clients across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore through the process, and we’ve seen how even small administrative mistakes can lead to a partial or total rejection of the grant.

Here are our practical and strategic tips to avoid errors, maximize your eligibility, and secure the full LogisVert grant amount.

Understand the Exact LogisVert Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the grant, several very specific conditions must be met. Too often, some contractors or clients overlook a critical detail that makes the project ineligible.

Essential conditions include:

• A complete replacement of an electric heating system (e.g., baseboards or electric furnace only)

• Installation of a certified system, ENERGY STAR-approved or equivalent

• Selection of a system with high Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER)

• Installation must be performed by an accredited contractor (like AirGreen)

• A complete application must be submitted before the installation or within the required deadlines

Missing even one of these elements can cause you to lose out on grants of up to $5,000.

Avoid These Common Mistakes When Applying

1. Starting the Installation Without Confirming Eligibility

This is the most common mistake: starting the work without having submitted any forms or received official confirmation. At AirGreen, we always make sure to validate all eligibility criteria before beginning any work.

2. Providing Incomplete or Inaccurate Documentation

Hydro-Québec’s forms require very precise information: exact model, serial number, BTU rating, EER, SEER, HSPF, installer name, proof of replacement, etc. We handle the documentation ourselves to avoid rejections due to input errors.

3. Choosing an Unapproved Unit

All equipment installed by AirGreen is carefully selected to comply with the program’s requirements. However, we’ve seen cases where models purchased elsewhere are not listed in the Canadian ENERGY STAR database.

4. Not Replacing an Existing System

The grant only applies when replacing an existing system. If you install a system in a new build or as an addition to an existing system (dual-energy, gas, etc.), you will not be eligible.

The AirGreen Approach: Full Administrative Support

We know the process can seem overwhelming or technical. That’s why we offer every one of our clients a complete administrative support service, which includes:

• Eligibility verification based on your situation

• Equipment selection (central or wall-mounted heat pump, SEER 17 or higher, HSPF 9 or higher)

• Initial application submission to Hydro-Québec

• Collection of required documents (photos, invoices, proof of replacement)

• Submission of the complete file and follow-up with the authorities

Real Case Study: A Fully Eligible Installation with Maximum Grant

A client in Sainte-Julie, on the South Shore, wanted to replace an electric furnace with a 36,000 BTU Lennox central heat pump, model EL18XPV. Thanks to our support, their project received $2,460 in LogisVert grants, with zero file rejections.

Summary:

• Installation type: Lennox central heat pump + backup furnace

• ENERGY STAR eligible equipment

• Complete replacement of an electric system

• Grant received: $2,460

Extra Tips to Maximize Your Refund

• Plan ahead: don’t sign any contract without confirming your eligibility.

• Choose approved equipment (Bosch, Fujitsu, Gree, Lennox, Goodman…).

• Keep all proof: photos of old units, invoices, installation date.

• Hire an accredited installer like AirGreen, recognized by Hydro-Québec.
