Every rebate available in Montréal, Laval and on the South Shore.

Financial help to make comfort more affordable

Use government programs to lower your installation costs

Installing a high-performance heat pump has never been more worthwhile. Through Hydro‑Québec’s LogisVert program, you receive a rebate based on your unit’s heating capacity in cold weather: Hydro‑Québec advertises up to $6,700 for a heat pump.
HVAC MTL supports you at every step: eligibility check, choosing a compliant model and preparing the paperwork to maximize your savings, with a certified, energy-efficient installation.

In Quebec, heat pump rebates in 2026 come from Hydro‑Québec’s LogisVert program: $50 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C for an ENERGY STAR certified unit, or $120 per 1,000 BTU/h for an ENERGY STAR “cold climate” model. You apply online, no later than nine months after installation.

Rebate estimator

How much for a 12,000, 18,000 or 24,000 BTU heat pump?

Official formula: rate × (heating capacity at −8 °C ÷ 1,000). The table applies the LogisVert rates to three heating capacities measured at −8 °C.

LogisVert rebate by heating capacity at −8 °C
Heating capacity at −8 °CENERGY STAR$50 / 1,000 BTU/hCold climate$120 / 1,000 BTU/h
12,000 BTU/h$600$1,440
18,000 BTU/h$900$2,160
24,000 BTU/h$1,200$2,880

Why “12,000 BTU” doesn’t mean 12,000 BTU/h at −8 °C

The number in a model’s name is its nominal cooling capacity. Hydro‑Québec calculates the rebate with the heating capacity at −8 °C of the installed combination (outdoor unit + indoor units), as listed in its AHRI or ENERGY STAR certification. It can therefore differ from the marketing name.

Example: a cold-climate heat pump delivering 18,000 BTU/h at −8 °C gives 18 × $120 = $2,160. In your quote, we list the AHRI number of the proposed system and the LogisVert amount that goes with it.

To compare eligible models, see our wall-mounted heat pump installation, multi-zone heat pumps and central heat pumps pages: each unit’s spec sheet lists its AHRI certification.

The rate in force on the installation date applies, and the rebate can’t exceed 100% of the purchase and installation cost before taxes.

LogisVert rebate

Eligible heat pumps and Hydro‑Québec rebate conditions

The LogisVert amount doesn’t depend on the price you pay but on the unit’s heating capacity at −8 °C. Here are the conditions to meet, taken from Hydro‑Québec’s participation guide.

  • Complete new system, ENERGY STAR certified (required for installations since November 26, 2025)
  • Outdoor unit of at least 12,000 BTU/h (nominal cooling capacity)
  • Bought in Quebec (store or online business with a Quebec address)

Eligible homes and people

  • The owner: the rebate is paid to the person whose name is on the invoice and proof of ownership
  • House, condo, multiplex, building of 19 units or fewer, or a separately metered unit in a building of 20+ units
  • Home in Quebec, completed and habitable year-round
  • Heat pump used for both heating and cooling

Installation and exclusions

  • Contractor registered with the Registraire des entreprises, holding the proper RBQ licences and a member of its trade corporation

Not eligible:

How to apply

How to get the LogisVert rebate, step by step

Applications are online only, on the logisvert.ca portal: applications sent by email or mail are not processed.

  1. Choose an eligible model

    We check the ENERGY STAR certification (and cold-climate designation) of the exact combination on Hydro‑Québec’s list, before you buy.

  2. Have it installed by a licensed contractor

    The paid invoice must show, among other things, the installation date, the address, the RBQ licence, GST/QST numbers and the AHRI or ENERGY STAR number. Ours always do.

  3. Apply within 9 months

    On logisvert.ca: the invoice, proof of ownership (municipal tax bill or first page of the deed of sale) and a clear photo of the outdoor unit’s nameplate.

  4. Receive your cheque

    Processing takes 10 to 12 weeks from a complete file. A verification visit is possible, then the rebate is mailed to the owner.

Frequently asked questions

Heat pump rebates: your questions, answered

The questions our clients ask most often about LogisVert and other programs.

How much can I get for a heat pump in Quebec in 2026?

With Hydro‑Québec’s LogisVert program, you get $50 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C for an ENERGY STAR heat pump, or $120 for an ENERGY STAR cold-climate model. Hydro‑Québec advertises up to $6,700. For example, a cold-climate unit delivering 18,000 BTU/h at −8 °C qualifies for $2,160.

What’s the difference between ENERGY STAR and “cold climate”?

Both must be ENERGY STAR certified. The cold-climate designation identifies units that keep heating efficiently in low temperatures, and it earns the higher rate ($120 instead of $50 per 1,000 BTU/h at −8 °C). Hydro‑Québec’s eligible-model search tool shows which category each combination falls into.

Do I need to own the home to get the rebate?

Yes, for a heat pump. The rebate is paid to the owner of an eligible home, and the name on the invoice must match the proof of ownership. Tenants can claim LogisVert only for an induction range or a heat pump dryer.

How long do I have to apply after installation?

You must submit your application on logisvert.ca no later than nine months after the heat pump is installed. Processing takes 10 to 12 weeks from the moment your file is complete, and the rebate is mailed to you.

Is Chauffez vert still available for replacing an oil furnace?

No. Quebec’s Chauffez vert program ended on March 31, 2026. The federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program also stopped taking applications on July 31, 2026. The heat pump itself can still qualify for LogisVert if all conditions are met.

Is there a federal heat pump rebate in 2026?

Not yet. On October 8, 2026, the Government of Canada announced a National Heat Pump Rebate: $2,000, or up to $10,000 for households below the median income, for cold-climate heat pumps on the federal eligible list. Its launch date and stacking rules haven’t been published, and LogisVert currently excludes equipment funded by another government body. LogisVert remains in force in the meantime.

Are there municipal rebates in Montréal and Laval?

Yes. In Montréal, RénoPlex pays $1,350 per unit to replace an oil or natural gas system with a central heat pump in a building with 1 to 5 units, with approval required before the work. In Laval, by-law L-12494 pays up to $2,000 to replace a main oil heating system, for work completed by December 31, 2026.

Does replacing my old heat pump qualify?

Yes, if you replace the complete system (outdoor unit and indoor unit or units) with a new ENERGY STAR certified heat pump installed by a licensed contractor. Replacing only one unit or a coil, or a replacement covered by a warranty or insurance after a breakdown, does not qualify.
