Heat pumps not only help families save money on their monthly bills: they also help cut pollution and fight climate change. That’s why the Government of Canada is taking another step forward to help families make the switch from expensive home heating oil to efficient electricity heat pumps.
Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, provided an update on the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Program, introduced in November 2022.

The OPHA program helps low-to-middle-income households that are currently heating their homes with oil to move to electric heat pumps. By switching, homeowners can receive up to $5,000 toward the purchase and installation of a new, cold-climate heat pump, save thousands of dollars annually on heating bills and help cut pollution.
This support is in addition to up to $5,000 in federal support from the $2.6-billion Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG), which is already supporting eligible homeowners to retrofit their home to reduce energy use and save money. With the OHPA Program, low-to-medium-income homeowners may qualify to receive a total up-front payment of up to $10,000. They could further benefit by combining additional financial assistance from other existing provincial, territorial, federal and utility programs, such as those already available in PEI and Nova Scotia.
“Replacing home heating oil with electric heat pumps is an effective way for families to save money while reducing pollution. Today, the Government of Canada opened pre-registrations for Canadians to access the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Grant. When stacked with the Canada Greener Homes Grant, this means up to $10,000 in federal support for heat pumps.”
The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
Minister of Natural Resources
