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.

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
“By helping Canadians switch from the roller-coaster prices of home heating oil toward more affordable, Canadian-made electrical home heating, we’re saving households thousands of dollars on energy bills while fighting climate change. Cheaper home heating, less pollution. It’s a win-win.”
The Honourable Steven Guilbeault
Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Canada

•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.
