Canada Greener Homes Grant · Updated September 22, 2026

The $5,600 federal grant is closed. Here’s what still pays for your heat pump.

LogisVert, today

The federal grant added up to $600 to cover the two EnerGuide evaluations. The two programs’ “cold climate” definitions are not identical. LogisVert never exceeds 100% of the cost before taxes. Indicative amounts.

04 · The free heat pump

The only new federal help for a heat pump in Québec

In Québec, the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program runs through Hydro-Québec: an ENERGY STAR cold-climate wall unit and smart thermostats, installed at no cost for modest-income households. Only a possible municipal permit fee remains to pay.

06 · The pitfalls

Six ways to get caught in 2026

$5,600A seller still promising the federal grantIt is closed. A 2026 quote that deducts $5,600 “from the federal government” doesn’t hold up.
FreeA call about a free heat pumpHydro-Québec does no phone or door-to-door solicitation for LogisVert. The free heat pump always starts with an Éconologis registration. If in doubt, call back yourself: 1 833 396-1888.
9,000A wall unit that’s too smallLogisVert requires an outdoor unit of at least 12,000 BTU/h in cooling. A 9,000 BTU unit gets $0.

07 · Frequently asked questions

The questions we’ve been getting since the closure

Does the Canada Greener Homes Grant still exist?

No. New applications were accepted from May 2021 to February 2024. In Québec, where it was delivered with Rénoclimat, the last day to request the grant was September 30, 2025. Payment requests are no longer accepted.

I did the work but never sent my application. Is it too late?

For the federal grant, yes: the deadlines have passed (September 30, 2025 in Québec, December 31, 2025 for documents). If your heat pump was installed less than 9 months ago, look at LogisVert instead.

My Greener Homes Loan was approved. Is it still good?

Yes. According to Natural Resources Canada, the closure does not affect loans already approved: your funding remains available.

Is there a new federal grant for a heat pump?

Yes, but targeted: the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program offers no-cost retrofits to low- and median-income households. In Québec, it runs through Hydro-Québec (LogisVert – Modest-income households) and a registration with Éconologis.

Do I still need an EnerGuide evaluation?

Not for the LogisVert heat pump: you apply with the invoice, proof of ownership and a nameplate photo. Rénoclimat, which funds insulation, doors and windows and ventilation, still requires an evaluation visit, and fees apply.

How much does LogisVert pay for a heat pump?

The heating capacity at -8 °C, divided by 1,000, multiplied by $120 for an ENERGY STAR cold-climate model ($50 otherwise). A Sharp CHU 18,000 BTU wall unit delivers 22,600 BTU/h at -8 °C: $2,712. A 3-ton MIDEA EVOX G3 central: $3,960.

I heat with oil. What’s left?

Both conversion grants are closed: Chauffez vert on March 31, 2026, the federal OHPA program on July 31, 2026. Already registered with OHPA? Send your receipts and final attestation by January 31, 2027. For LogisVert, have Hydro-Québec confirm your case before you sign.

I heat with natural gas.

Énergir offers its Dual energy with heat pump grant to customers with central forced-air gas heating: up to $7,300 for a single-family house or condo, $8,600 for a duplex, $9,100 for a triplex, up to 80% of costs.

I’m a tenant. Am I entitled to anything?

Yes, if your income is under the threshold and you heat with baseboards: Hydro-Québec’s free heat pump, with your landlord’s consent. LogisVert also pays $250 for an induction range or a heat pump dryer, to tenants and owners alike.

Who runs the federal programs now?

Natural Resources Canada says the Canada Greener Homes Initiative is moving to Environment and Climate Change Canada. Email given: enviroinfo@ec.gc.ca.
