Hydro-Québec Efficient Heat Pumps grant · Updated September 22, 2026

Efficient Heat Pumps is now LogisVert. Here’s what that changes for your wallet.

The Hydro-Québec program you are looking for no longer exists under that name. The heat pump grant lives on in LogisVert, with new rules: 9 months instead of 6 to apply, ENERGY STAR required, and up to $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C instead of $50. Compare the two eras, calculate your amount, check your date.

Efficient Heat Pumps rule ($50)

See this unit’s product page

The 2022 rule is applied to the same capacity, for comparison: a recent model was not necessarily on the list back then. The LogisVert grant cannot exceed 100% of the cost before taxes; only Hydro-Québec confirms the amount awarded.

The old version of this page said “up to $2,800”. That ceiling doesn’t exist.

LogisVert sets no maximum amount per heat pump: it’s the capacity at -8 °C times the rate, up to 100% of the cost before taxes. Four of the six units shown exceed $2,800, all ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified.

Step 1 / 5

Pick the right unit

A new, ENERGY STAR certified heat pump with an outdoor unit of at least 12,000 BTU/h in cooling. Aim for cold-climate certification: $120 instead of $50 per 1,000 BTU/h. And look at the capacity at -8 °C, not the number in the model name.

07 · Frequently asked questions

What people ask us when they’re still looking for Efficient Heat Pumps

Does the Efficient Heat Pumps program still exist?

Not under that name. Hydro-Québec’s grant for an air-source heat pump is now part of the LogisVert program: $50 or $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C, 9 months to apply, ENERGY STAR required. The support line is the same: 1 833 396-1888.

My heat pump was installed in 2022. Can I still apply?

No. 2022 installations fell under Efficient Heat Pumps, which gave 6 months to apply. That window closed long ago.

Is the 2023 list of eligible heat pumps still valid?

No. Check your model in Hydro-Québec’s search tool, by AHRI number or ENERGY STAR ID. Since November 26, 2025, only an ENERGY STAR certified combination is eligible. If there is a discrepancy, Hydro-Québec’s list prevails.

Why don’t two 12,000 BTU heat pumps get the same amount?

Because the grant follows the heating capacity at -8 °C, not the size. The Sharp CHU 12,000 BTU wall unit delivers 18,900 BTU/h at -8 °C, i.e. $2,268. The CU of the same size delivers 15,000 BTU/h, i.e. $1,800. AHRI 217512736 and 217512740.

Is a 9,000 BTU wall unit eligible?

Not anymore. LogisVert requires an outdoor unit of at least 12,000 BTU/h in cooling. Below that, the grant is $0, even for a cold-climate model.

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

Not for the heat pump: the grant goes to the owner, as it did under Efficient Heat Pumps. A tenant can apply for LogisVert’s induction range and heat pump dryer, $250 each.

Can I combine it with another grant?

Not for the same heat pump: one grant per piece of equipment, as before. The Chauffez vert program ended on March 31, 2026, and the Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed.

How long before I get the money?

10 to 12 weeks after a complete application, by mail, at the mailing address given in the application. If it is incomplete, Hydro-Québec contacts you within about 20 business days.

Can I get a free heat pump?

Hydro-Québec installs a cold-climate wall unit at no cost for modest-income households heated by baseboards and registered with the Éconologis program after September 30, 2025. Registration for the 2026-2027 season is closed; the rollout continues gradually from fall 2026.

Someone is calling me on behalf of Hydro-Québec about a heat pump.

Be careful. Hydro-Québec does no phone or door-to-door solicitation for LogisVert. If in doubt: 1 833 396-1888.
