    In the fall of 2021 several Quebec municipalities started moving towards banning residential heating with oil, then the Quebec government overrode them all and decreed a provincial wide rapid phase out of oil. Despite its noble ecological objectives, this is a highly contested decree both in its objectives and application. For instance, the Decree ...

    Residential oil heating is responsible for less than 1% of all GHG in Québec. Totally banning residential oil heating will do very little for atmospheric pollution while putting a great financial burden on tens of thousands of homeowners. Promoting hybrid energy, even with oil, could have almost the same ecological results with no penalty to homeow...

    Let’s leave my critical opinions and my 44 years of experience in energy efficient construction aside – and take a look at the factual constraints, as well as the opportunities that homeowners with oil heating have today. Many contractors are misconstruing this legislation to get you to make changes you may not need or want to make. The Corporation...

    Oil Tanks

    Some contractors are saying that you can no longer replace an existing oil tank so you have to change your whole system now. That is simply not true.Oil tanks are specifically left out of the decree. The drafters of the decree considered that forcing the rapid replacement of oil tanks added an environmental risk of pollution due to spilled oil. You can change the tank now or later with no restrictions from the Quebec Decree. Your homeowner’s insurance policy is probably the controlling factor...

After December 31, 2023, you cannot install a new oil burning heating device in any existing small residential building. Also, after December 31, 2023 you cannot replace an existing oil heating appliance with a device which burns natural gas or propane, even hybrid (bi-energy) systems. Your neighbor who never had oil, can freely install such a sys...

    How long can you keep an existing oil heating system?

    There is nothing in this decree that will prevent you at any date from using an oil heating system (household heat or hot water tank) that is in good working condition. The catch is, can you keep an existing system in good working order? YES, you have the right to maintain, even replace most of the working parts of a system, including motors, detachable pieces and controls. What you cannot replace are the two critical parts of a furnace, boiler or hot water tank, the combustion chamber and th...

    My wife is very philosophic in life with a two-step rule – no matter what happens, accept that "IT IS" – then ask – So what do we do now?

    Since we are talking about money – let’s look at relative fuel costs. This chart from ÉcoHabitation (2020) shows the cost for a unit of heat (1,000 BTU) for each of Québec’s primary heating sources. It is probably a bit out of date when you read this, but is gives a good relative overview of fuel costs. A cord of hardwood is the least expensive – b...

    Do not go for 100% electric heating as the default, but study your individual options on a timeline, including the impact that the off-oil decree has or does not have on your home, all to keep your combined capital expenditures and long term heating costs to a minimum as things change around you. The fact is that total bans of fossil fuels is not a...
