Frequently asked questions

How much is the heat pump rebate?
Up to $10,000 (below-median income) or $2,000 (other eligible homeowners).
When can I apply?
Applications open in early 2027; sign up for updates on canada.ca now.
Do I need an energy audit?
No — none required before or after installation.
How much will I save?
About $1,400/year on average when switching from oil/propane/baseboards.
Can I combine it with provincial rebates?
Yes — it is designed to stack with provincial programs.
Is this a government website?
No. This is an independent guide.
Which heat pumps qualify for the rebate?
Your heat pump must appear on the federal Eligible Products List, which covers more than 100,000 models including cold-climate designs. Check the list on canada.ca before you buy — a model that is not listed will not qualify, even if a contractor recommends it.
Can renters claim the heat pump rebate?
No — the rebate is for homeowners, with one rebate per person. If you rent, the property owner would be the eligible applicant. Talk to your landlord about whether they plan to upgrade the heating, since the savings benefit tenants too.
I already installed a heat pump — can I still claim?
Probably not. Rebates typically apply only to installations completed after the program launches in early 2027. If your installation is recent, keep every receipt and watch the official terms when they are published — but do not assume retroactive coverage.
How do I sign up for launch updates?
The government opened a notification signup on canada.ca when the program was announced — register your email there so you hear the moment applications open. Avoid third-party 'waitlist' sites, which cannot secure you a place and may misuse your details.
What receipts and documents will I need?
Expect to upload the paid invoice from your installer, proof the model is on the Eligible Products List, and proof of home ownership. The program promises payment within five days of approved receipts, so keep everything digital and organized from day one.
Will a heat pump actually work in a cold Canadian winter?
Yes — modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to operate well below freezing, though efficiency drops in extreme cold. Many households keep a backup heat source for the coldest snaps. An installer experienced with your region can size the right system for your home.
