Heat pump subsidy
Up to $6,700Financial assistance for the purchase and installation of an eligible heat pump, whether you're replacing an aging system, upgrading your installation or getting one for the first time.
The amount depends on the model you choose, its energy efficiency and its heating capacity as recognized by Hydro-Québec. We show the applicable amount in your quote.
Hydro-Québec encourages high-efficiency heating and air conditioning systems: less electricity used and more comfort, summer and winter.
Good news: the federal rebate could be added to LogisVert.
Steffes heat storage system

$15,000
Steffes heat storage only
$22,000
Heat storage + central heat pump
Deducted directly from your invoice by the authorized contractor: no waiting for a refund.

All your questions about LogisVert and eligibility
before buying your heat pump
The federal government allows it to be combined with certain provincial programs, but Hydro-Québec has not yet confirmed the details for LogisVert. The multi-unit bonus, however, cannot be combined.
It depends on your municipality: many cities and RCMs offer assistance or a tax credit, but programs and budgets change every year. Follow the 6 steps in the "Municipal subsidies" section or call your city to confirm.
No. Among other things, the system must be able to heat the entire home and appear on the federal list (AHRI number). We check this before confirming anything with you.
It is deducted directly from your invoice by the authorized installer. You benefit right away.
