Eligible plex: $220 per 1,000 BTU/h for every wall-mounted heat pump
Since June 15, 2026, Hydro-Québec and the Québec government add $100 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C to the regular grant for cold-climate wall units installed in the units of an eligible building. Test your building, then see the amount for all your units.
Regular grant, cold climate
Multi-unit bonus
Total paid: 83% more
Does your building qualify? Eight criteria, one verdict.
Enter the numbers from your municipal tax bill or property assessment. The value-per-unit math follows Hydro-Québec’s own tool: building value only, without the land, divided by the number of units.
The postal code has the last word. Only Hydro-Québec’s tool confirms the address is in a designated energy-poverty area. It asks for the same three numbers.
Check my postal code with Hydro-QuébecHow much for the whole building?
Pick the wall unit, the number of units to equip and, if you have it, the pre-tax price of one installation. Capacities come from Hydro-Québec’s official list.
Each unit gets its own wall unit, with its own outdoor unit. The bonus requires at least one cold-climate wall unit in an eligible unit; you do not have to equip every unit.
Indicative estimate. Hydro-Québec sets the final amount based on the installation date and the combination installed.
Unit by unit: the grant, what is left to pay, the rent
Pick a wall unit for each unit, from the 237 AirGreen listings that carry the bonus. Add the pre-tax price if you have it: we apply the 100% cap and work out what the TAL allows you to add to the rent.
“Maximize the grant” keeps each unit’s size and picks the single wall unit that delivers the most heat at -8 °C. The right unit also depends on the room, the wall and the electrical panel: the estimator confirms it on site.
Rent: what the TAL allows you to add
Grant from Hydro-Québec’s list, installation on September 22, 2026. Rent: Regulation respecting the criteria for the fixing of rent, s. 3 and 13; expense reduced by the grant received, 5% per year, ÷ 12. Indicative.
Same size, not the same cheque
Hydro-Québec pays for the heat delivered at -8 °C, not the number on the box. Eight wall units sold by AirGreen, with the official amount per unit.
Amount per unit, Hydro-Québec list
Installation on September 22, 2026. All carry the “Multi-unit bonus” mention.
The math, line by line
Example: a Sharp CHU 18,000 BTU wall unit (AHRI 217508925) in each unit of an eligible triplex.
The 237 AirGreen listings that get the bonus
Every product page on the site shows an AHRI number. We looked each one up on Hydro-Québec’s official list, for an installation on September 22, 2026. Filter, sort, and see what each unit earns per dwelling.
AHRI number as shown on the product page. Listings whose number is not on the list, including every 9,000 BTU wall unit, do not appear here. Hydro-Québec’s list prevails in case of discrepancy.
The median value per unit, region by region
The building value divided by the number of units must stay below the median of the administrative region. These are the medians Hydro-Québec’s tool uses. Tap a region to apply it to the test in section 01.
Medians rounded to the dollar, from the file behind Hydro-Québec’s eligibility tool dated August 28, 2026. Hydro-Québec may update them.
Notices, access, rent: what the law says
The Civil Code of Québec and the Regulation respecting the criteria for the fixing of rent, in plain words. General information, not legal advice: when in doubt, the Tribunal administratif du logement can answer.
When to notify your tenants?
- the nature of the work
- the start date and estimated duration
- the evacuation period, if any
- the compensation offered, if any
- any other condition that substantially reduces enjoyment of the premises
For a non-urgent major improvement: at least 10 days before the start, or 3 months before if the evacuation lasts more than a week (arts. 1922-1923). The notice is in writing, in the language of the lease (art. 1898). The tenant has 10 days to ask the tribunal to change an abusive condition (art. 1926). To enter and do the work: 24 hours’ notice (art. 1931).
The grant never goes into the rent
The Regulation lists “replacement or improvement of the heating or air-conditioning system” among capital expenses. The TAL counts 5% per year of the expense, after removing any government or Hydro-Québec grant.
This amount is added to the base percentage set for 2026 (3.1%) and to changes in taxes and insurance. If the work benefits several units, the expense is shared according to the rents of the units that benefit. The TAL has the last word.
Nine months, not a day more
If the application is incomplete, Hydro-Québec contacts you within about 20 business days. The 10-to-12-week window starts from a complete application.
Five things to have on hand
Applications are online only, at logisvert.ca, one form per eligible dwelling. If the building qualifies, the bonus is applied automatically.
The other LogisVert grants, by building type
Hydro-Québec’s guide does not offer the same measures to a plex and to a 20-unit building. Pick yours.

Eight ways to miss the bonus
Eight common beliefs. How many can you beat?
My tenant can apply for the bonus himself.
A central heat pump also gets $220 per 1,000 BTU/h.
An 18,000 BTU wall unit can earn more than a 24,000 BTU.
You must equip every unit to get the bonus.
The land value counts in the value per unit.
I can put the whole invoice into my rent increase.
Hydro-Québec can come and inspect the installation.
Add an induction range and I also get the 5% bonus.
From postal code to cheque, in six steps
The dates that matter to an owner
What owners ask us
How much will I get per unit?
Take the installed combination’s heating capacity at -8 °C, divide by 1,000 and multiply by $220. A Sharp CHU 18,000 BTU delivers 22,600 BTU/h: 22.6 × $220 = $4,972. The grant cannot exceed 100% of the purchase and installation cost before taxes.
Do I have to equip every unit?
No. At least one cold-climate wall unit is required in an eligible unit. Each eligible wall unit is calculated on its own capacity at -8 °C.
Can my tenant apply?
No. This bonus, delivered with the Fonds d’électrification et de changements climatiques, is paid to the person or entity that owns the building, since they pay for the work, choose the equipment and authorize the installation.
Why does electricity included in the rent block everything?
Because the aid targets tenants who pay their own electricity bill and benefit directly from the savings. That is also why each unit needs its own meter.
Where do I find the value and the year built?
The value is on your municipality’s property assessment roll (website or assessment office) and on the tax bill. The year built: assessment roll, deed of sale, sometimes the certificate of location.
Why the median and not the average?
According to Hydro-Québec, the median is not pulled up by a few very valuable buildings. It shows whether the value per unit sits in the lower half of the region’s rental buildings.
How much notice must I give my tenants?
For a non-urgent major improvement, written notice at least 10 days before the work starts, or 3 months before if the evacuation lasts more than a week (arts. 1922-1923 C.C.Q.). To enter the unit, 24 hours’ notice (art. 1931).
How does Hydro-Québec pick the areas?
From indicators that flag areas where households face tougher socioeconomic conditions, combined with other criteria such as property value.
Is a multi-zone system eligible?
The bonus targets ductless wall-mounted mini-splits. Hydro-Québec’s list decides combination by combination: only those showing a “Multi-unit bonus” amount qualify. Some multi-zone systems with wall heads show one.
And a central heat pump?
No bonus. It remains eligible for the regular grant: $50 or $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C depending on its certification.
My building has 20 or more units.
It is eligible for the bonus. The work must be in the units, each with its own meter. Common and commercial areas fall under Hydro-Québec’s Efficient Solutions program instead.
Is the grant taxable?
Hydro-Québec issues an RL-27 slip when the grant is received in the course of operating a business or property, which covers rented units. Discuss the tax treatment with your accountant.
Can I also claim Rénoclimat or the 5%?
Not with the bonus. It cannot be combined with the multiple-measures bonus or with any other Hydro-Québec or government offer.
Off-grid, municipal network, Îles-de-la-Madeleine?
A building supplied by an off-grid or municipal network can qualify if it meets every criterion. Exception: buildings in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, which already have their own bonus.
Can I raise the rent after the work?
Yes, under the TAL rules, but only on what you paid yourself. The Regulation respecting the criteria for the fixing of rent removes the grant received from the expense (s. 13), then counts 5% per year of what remains (s. 3). The LogisVert guide says it too: subsidized amounts do not enter the calculation.
One building, several units, one visit. We pick the wall unit that earns the most.
Hydro-Québec does no phone or door-to-door solicitation for LogisVert and is not associated with any company other than its service provider, Groupe Marketing International. An unsolicited offer in Hydro-Québec’s name is probably a scam.
