Province of Québec Adjusts HP support programs

The Province of Québec announced last week that, starting on January 1, 2021, programs offering financial assistance for installing or replacing an eligible heat pump will change. Financial assistance will no longer be a set amount. Amounts will vary mainly according to the installed system’s heating output in winter conditions.  The more powerful the heat pump is, the higher the amount of financial assistance will be.  Specifically, $50 of financial assistance will be granted for every thousand BTUs of heating output at -8°C.

For example:

• An eligible heat pump with a heating output of 10,000 BTUs/h at -8°C will qualify for $500 of financial assistance;
• An eligible heat pump with a heating output of 20,000 BTUs/h at -8°C will qualify for $1,000 of financial assistance

There are also a number of other changes to the installation and performance criteria.
