Conditions

The chosen heat pump must be on the eligible heat pump list at the time of installation.

Financial Assistance Explanation

The financial assistance is no longer a fixed amount, but varies mainly according to the heating power in winter conditions of the system installed. Thus, the higher the heat pump power, the greater the financial assistance.

The financial assistance is $120 per 1,000 BTU/h.

Financial assistance can go up to $3,000.00 on certain systems. In addition, it is possible to combine this grant with all our promotions. This allows you to benefit from a major cost reduction.

Canada's Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (CAMT) program helps homeowners who currently heat their home with oil to switch to electric heating by installing an eligible electric heat pump system. This change can help you save thousands of dollars on your heating bills every year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for an upfront payment of up to $10,000 if:

• You are a Canadian homeowner
• Your home is heated with oil
• Your household income is equal to or below the median after-tax income
• You meet all program eligibility criteria
• Your home is connected to an integrated electrical grid

What the Funding Covers

CAMT program funding can cover the following expenses:

• Purchase and installation of eligible heat pump systems
• Electrical and mechanical upgrades required for the new system
• Safe removal of your oil tank
• Installation of supplemental electric heating (if needed)
• Replacement of other household systems that use oil, such as the water heater (if needed)

Upfront Payment

Once your application is approved, you will receive a cheque. In most cases, you will receive your funds before having to pay associated costs. Funding may be combined with additional financial assistance from other federal, provincial or territorial programs.

Note for Quebec residents: Applicants residing in Quebec are eligible for the federal CAMT program. Make sure to verify your eligibility and have all required documents on hand before submitting your application.
