What happened
On October 8, 2026, Mark Carney announced in Sherbrooke that Ottawa plans to launch a new heat pump rebate program. The government is budgeting $2 billion over eight years with a target of retrofitting one million homes. The program allows low-income households to receive up to $10,000 and other homeowners to receive $2,000 for switching to a heat pump. Ottawa is also winding down an existing program that subsidized oil-heated homes.
