The Government of Canada is continuing to invest in making life more affordable for families across the country by helping homeowners switch from expensive home heating oil to energy-efficient cold-climate heat pumps.
Today, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, on behalf of the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources, announced a $250 million investment for the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Grant, a new stream to add to the existing Canada Greener Homes Initiative. This program will help tens of thousands of households move to affordable, reliable electric heat pumps instead of expensive home heating oil. The OHPA Grant builds on $250 million announced in September, 2022, by Minister Guilbeault to make home heating more affordable – and cut pollution – by helping households move to electric heat pumps.
While national in scope, the OHPA Grant’s design reflects the fact that a higher proportion of Atlantic Canadians use oil as their primary source of heat. Today’s announcement is another way that the Government of Canada is following through on its commitment to deliver practical solutions on home heating, especially for Atlantic Canadians, while fighting climate change.
The new OHPA Grant focuses on households that need it the most and is designed to benefit low-to-median-income Canadian households. On average, homeowners who switch from oil to cold-climate heat pumps to heat their homes would save between $1,500 and $4,700 per year on home energy bills.
“Heating and cooling our homes more efficiently — with technology like electric heat pumps — costs Canadians less money and reduces pollution. We’re pleased to help Canadians do just that.”
The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
Minister of Natural Resources
“These are challenging times for Canadians, particularly when regions across Atlantic Canada are facing higher heating bills. To continue providing immediate relief, our federal government is reducing Canadians’ heating bills by helping homeowners cover up-front costs in federal grants up to $5,000 to replace their oil heating systems with brand new heat pumps. By transitioning away from oil heating, homeowners can save thousands of dollars in their annual heating bills, putting more money back in peoples’ pockets while also reducing pollution and creating new jobs across the country.”
The Honourable Sean Fraser
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
•In September, the Government of Canada announced $250 million through the Low Carbon Economy Fund to help, based on early estimates, tens of thousands of households across Canada transition off home heating oil to affordable, reliable electric heat pumps.
Heat pumps are a proven and reliable technology in Canada, capable of providing year-round comfort control for a home by:
•heating it in the winter;
•cooling it in the summer (heat pumps, despite their name, can also act as air conditioners); and
•in some cases, heating water.
•Heat pumps are one of the best ways for homeowners to save money on energy bills and fight climate change. When compared to other electric home heating sources, they are also two to three times more efficient, meaning greater savings for homeowners and reduced energy intake for utilities and grids.
