01 · Your building

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.

Number of units
1It is a plex or apartment building (not a condo, not a commercial space).
2The building’s main heating runs on electricity.
3Each unit has its own electricity meter.
4Each tenant pays their own electricity bill (it is not included in the rent).

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.

02 · Calculator

How 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.

1 · The wall unit
2 · Units to equip

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.

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.

06 · The bar not to exceed

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.

07 · Your tenants and the TAL

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.

3×Up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating, according to Hydro-Québec.
50%In Québec, heating can be more than half of the electricity bill, according to Hydro-Québec.
2 in 1Heating in winter, cooling in summer, and efficient operation down to -20 °C depending on the model.
The notice of work

When to notify your tenants?

Written notice no later than
On the day, to enter24 hours’ notice
What the notice must state (art. 1923 C.C.Q.)
  • 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 rent

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.

11 · The pitfalls

Eight ways to miss the bonus

IncludedElectricity in the rentIf the rent includes electricity, no bonus: the aid targets tenants who pay their own bill.
CondoA condo or a storeCondos and commercial spaces are excluded from the bonus, even in an eligible area.
1996A building that is too recentBuilt after 1995: no bonus. The regular grant is still possible.
LandThe wrong valueOnly the building value counts. Adding the land inflates the value per unit.
CentralThe wrong type of systemThe bonus targets cold-climate wall units. A central system stays at the regular rate.
9,000A wall unit that is too smallAn outdoor unit below 12,000 BTU/h in cooling gets nothing.
5 %StackingIt cannot be combined with the 5% multiple-measures bonus, or with any other Hydro-Québec or government offer.
TALThe rent increaseSubsidized amounts cannot be used in calculating a rent increase.
12 · True or false

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.

15 · Frequently asked questions

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.
