Grants for Central Heat Pumps: How to Maximize Your Financial Aid in 2025

Maximize Grants for Your Central Heat Pump in 2025: A Winning Strategy for Long-Lasting Comfort

At AirGreen, we understand that investing in a central heat pump is a major decision—both financially and in terms of comfort, whether at home or in a commercial space. Fortunately, several financial assistance programs are available in 2025 to encourage property owners to adopt energy-efficient heating and cooling systems across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. In this article, we guide you step-by-step to help you get the most out of available grants.

Why Are Grants Essential for a High-Performance HVAC Installation?

Central heat pumps offer a sustainable energy solution, but the upfront cost can be a barrier. That’s why financial aid programs like LogisVert, Chauffez Vert, Rénoclimat, and others offered by institutions such as Hydro-Québec are crucial tools to help lower your initial investment and ensure a quicker return on installation costs. In 2025, these programs are more generous and accessible than ever.


Overview of the Main Grants Available in 2025

Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program

This program offers attractive lump-sum amounts for installing ENERGY STAR certified central heat pumps, up to $5,000 depending on the system selected. To qualify:

  • The system must be installed by a certified contractor like AirGreen.

  • The home must be located in Quebec (Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore or South Shore).

  • It must replace an existing oil, gas, or electric central system.

Rénoclimat Program

Offered by the Québec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, Rénoclimat is a great complementary program:

  • A free energy evaluation is provided before and after the work.

  • Up to $6,500 may be granted for the installation of a high-efficiency central heat pump.

  • This program can be combined with other grants, enabling a powerful cumulative effect.

Chauffez Vert Program

Specifically designed to replace fossil fuel heating systems, this program offers:

  • Between $1,275 and $2,800, depending on the type of equipment being replaced.

  • Coverage that applies to the equipment and some related installation costs.

  • Favorable terms for single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings.

Case Study: A Successful Installation in Longueuil with Maximum Grants

In February 2025, we installed a Bosch BIVA IDS Premium 3-ton (36,000 BTU) central heat pump in a single-family home in Longueuil. The homeowner wanted to:

  • Replace an outdated oil system.

  • Significantly reduce their energy bills.

  • Take advantage of the maximum grants available.

Challenges:

  • The old setup required modifications to the existing ductwork.

  • An oil tank had to be removed.

Solutions Provided by AirGreen:

  • A specialized team safely removed the old equipment.

  • Full reconfiguration of the duct system in just one day.

  • Clean and quick installation of the Bosch heat pump completed in under 48 hours.

Results:

  • Total grant received: $7,625 (combined LogisVert + Chauffez Vert + Rénoclimat).

  • Estimated annual electricity bill reduction of 37%.

  • Happy customer and year-round optimal comfort.


Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for Grants

  • Hiring a non-certified contractor: your application could be denied automatically.

  • Skipping the energy evaluation: mandatory for certain programs.

  • Installing a non-eligible system: even if high-performing, it must appear on the approved equipment list.

  • Missing supporting documents: each program has specific documentation requirements.
