Feds announce additional heat pump incentives

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has announced another incentive to help make the cost of moving from oil for home heating to energy-efficient cold-climate heat pumps more affordable for Canadians. The government is investing $250 million in the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Grant (OHPA), which is in addition to the existing $2.6-billion Canada Greener Homes Initiative. The grant builds on the $250 million announced in September 2022 to help households move to heat pumps. The grant is designed to reflect the fact that more Atlantic Canadians use oil as their primary source of heat, and focuses on low-to-median income households. The money will be delivered to eligible households before installation of the new pump.
