Important update (absolutely essential to remember)

• As of November 26, 2025, all installed heat pumps must be ENERGY STAR® certified to be eligible for financial assistance.

Discover the LogisVert program

Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program aims to encourage the adoption of energy efficiency measures, including the installation of an efficient heat pump (including some very high efficiency heat pumps), in order to reduce energy consumption while improving residential comfort.

Eligible person

• For the heat pump measure, the person making the application must be the owner of the eligible dwelling.
  
• (Note: the LogisVert program also includes certain measures accessible to tenants — for example for certain household appliances — but heat pumps are treated as a measure where the installation and application must generally be made by the landlord .)
  

Eligible dwelling

The dwelling must be:

• located in Quebec ;
  
• habitable year-round ;
  
• powered by electricity from the Hydro-Québec network , an autonomous network , or a municipal/cooperative network ;

• condo
• multiplex
• residential building with 19 units or less
• apartment in a building with 20 or more units (with separate meter), provided that the measures are put in place in the unit by the owner (work in common areas is not eligible for LogisVert).
  

Not eligible: any detached building/accessory not permanently attached to the house (e.g. shed, detached garage, outbuilding, greenhouse, etc.).

Acceptable measurement: accepted system types

The complete system per dwelling can consist of:

• of a split (central) air-to-air heat pump : 1 indoor unit + 1 outdoor unit , or

The following are not eligible, in particular:

• the installation or replacement of a central heat pump in a dwelling with a geothermal system.
  

Financial assistance (amounts)

When all program requirements are met, financial assistance is calculated based on the capacity at -8°C :

• $50 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8°C for the purchase and installation of an ENERGY STAR® certified heat pump
  
  OR
  
• $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8°C if the heat pump is a "cold climate" type.
  

Important :

• Financial assistance is determined based on the date the heat pump was installed .
  
• Financial assistance cannot exceed 100% of the cost of purchasing and installing the equipment.
