The Greener Homes Grant is closed. Its replacement pays up to $10,000.

No. The grant closed on February 27, 2024 and the loan on October 1, 2025. On October 8, 2026 Ottawa announced the National Heat Pump Rebate, a separate new federal program for heat pumps. Applications open in early 2027. Join the early list to hear the day they do.

A federal rebate for installing an eligible electric cold-climate air-source heat pump, part of a $2B plan to deliver 1 million home retrofits. It is meant for up to 820,000 households. You apply through an online portal and upload your receipts. The October 8 announcement set targets of approval within 24 hours and payment approval within five days once the portal opens. These are targets, not guarantees of when money reaches your bank.

$2,000 for eligible households, or up to $10,000 for eligible households at or below the published after-tax income limit for their province or territory and household size. The final amount also depends on the cost of the equipment installed. Don't use another program's income rules to guess which amount applies to you: the federal limits are published by province and household size, and the program confirms your income when you apply.

Not yet. Applications open through an online portal in early 2027. Eligible installations from November 1, 2026 can be claimed once it opens, under the rules in force on the installation date. No payments are made before launch and approval.

It can, if it is installed on or after November 1, 2026 and meets the program's rules. Keep the model number, invoice, payment receipts and install date so you can claim once applications open. Installs before November 1, 2026 aren't covered.

No. You can apply when your system breaks down or when it is nearing the end of its life.

No. The new rebate needs no energy audit before or after your install. An audit can still unlock many provincial programs, and Solenery tells you which ones.

Ottawa says both federal amounts can be combined with existing provincial programs. Each provincial or utility program sets its own rules on what it pays toward, so check them before adding amounts together. Solenery shows which programs apply at your address.

Yes, the heat pump rebate can cover a home you own and rent out, but it is limited to one per household, even if you own more than one property. Apartment buildings have their own federal route: financing through CMHC's MLI, the CIB Building Retrofits initiative and the renewed Deep Retrofit Accelerator, aimed at 280,000 units over 8 years. Solenery also works with landlords and commercial owners, so choose your property type when you sign up.
