Making the switch can help you save thousands of dollars on your heating bills every year and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • your home is connected to a North American electricity grid (Off-grid houses are not eligible)

Eligible Expenses

    For the purchase and installation of eligible cold climate air source heat pump systems, and any of the following associated eligible measures related to its installation:

    • Necessary electrical and mechanical upgrades to your home for the new cold climate air source heat pump
    • The safe removal of your oil tank.
    • Installation of a back-up electric heating system (as required).
    • Switching over other oil-using household systems, such as a hot water heater (where necessary).
