Heating costs are rising, and many Canadian homes and buildings still rely on oil, gas, or inefficient electric systems. The good news: government grants for heat pumps are still available in 2025–2026, with federal support up to $10,000 for eligible households and strong provincial rebates that can stack on top. Some business-focused incentives also apply where heat pumps are installed as clean technology.
Status snapshot (March 6, 2026): The Canada Greener Homes Grant and Loan are closed to new applicants, but the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program remains open federally, alongside active provincial and utility rebates.
Below is a clear, Canada‑wide view of active programs you can use today, followed by province highlights. Amounts and rules vary by location and system type.
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Program — OPEN
Canada Greener Homes Grant — CLOSED
Canada Greener Homes Loan — CLOSED
If you missed Greener Homes, OHPA plus provincial rebates are now the main pathways for household heat pump support.
These programs often stack with OHPA if you qualify.
Ontario — Home Renovation Savings
British Columbia — CleanBC Better Homes
Quebec — Hydro‑Québec LogisVert
Prince Edward Island — Energy Efficient Equipment Rebates
Manitoba — Efficiency Manitoba
New Brunswick — SaveEnergyNB
For an official, up‑to‑date list by province and territory, NRCan maintains a public incentives directory.
While most government grants for heat pumps target homes, businesses installing heat pumps as clean technology may qualify for federal tax incentives.
This credit is especially relevant for commercial buildings, warehouses, and multi‑unit residential projects where grants are limited but capital costs are high.
Your total support depends on fuel type, income, province, and system size. Real‑world examples in 2025–2026 include:

Assuming Greener Homes is still open
New applications are closed. Focus on OHPA and provincial programs instead.
Buying equipment before approval
Many programs require pre‑approval. Installing first can void your rebate.
Missing income rules
OHPA is income‑qualified. Check thresholds before applying.
Ignoring utility programs
Provincial utilities often offer the largest rebates, and they can stack with federal support.
Q: Are there still government grants for heat pumps in Canada?
Yes. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program is open federally, and most provinces offer active rebates through utilities or energy agencies.
Q: Can I combine federal and provincial heat pump rebates?
Often, yes. Many provincial programs allow stacking with OHPA, as long as you meet each program’s rules.
Q: Do gas‑heated homes qualify for OHPA?
No. OHPA is for households currently heating with oil. Gas‑heated homes should look to provincial utility rebates instead.
Q: Are there grants for heat pumps for businesses?
Direct grants are limited, but businesses may qualify for the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit covering up to 30% of capital costs.
Q: Where can I see all programs by province?
NRCan’s incentives directory lists official federal, provincial, and territorial programs in one place.
Heat pump funding in 2025–2026 is still strong, but it’s fragmented by province and fuel type. The fastest way to know what applies to you is to check programs matched to your location and situation.
