Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program

Up to $15,000

Increased funding available to homeowners in participating provinces and territories

For eligible homeowners that live in one of the participating provinces or territories, an additional up-to-$5,000 is available, where the province or territory has committed to match the increased funding. The additional funding is available to low-to-median-income homeowners living in a province or territory that has an agreement with the federal government for the delivery of the program.

This funding is available to help homeowners with the cost of switching from home heating oil to heat pumps. This includes the purchase and installation of eligible electric heat pump systems and any of the eligible measures related to the installation.

Refer to your provincial/territorial program for details including eligible measures and funding amounts. Your application, the process, and funding will be handled by your province or territory.
