Canada to Launch $2 Billion National Heat Pump Rebate Programme in 2027
CANADA: Canadian homeowners will be able to benefit from a new $2 billion national heat pump rebate programme, scheduled to launch in early 2027. The initiative will provide grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 to eligible low- and middle-income households to support the replacement of conventional heating systems with energy-efficient electric heating solutions.
The programme will include a retroactive eligibility period beginning November 1, 2026, allowing households that install qualifying heat pumps from this date onwards to apply for financial assistance once the programme officially opens in 2027. To facilitate applications, the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) is advising homeowners to retain essential documentation, including itemised invoices, payment receipts, installation dates and the model numbers of indoor and outdoor units. Applicants are also encouraged to verify equipment eligibility, as the programme specifically covers cold-climate air-source heat pumps.
