Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (NL)

NRCan + NL Government · Federal

In plain language

Up-front federal grant of up to $15,000 for low-to-median income NL households switching from oil heat to a cold-climate electric heat pump. 2,189 NL households approved as of Feb 2025. In NL this is delivered jointly with takeCHARGE Oil-to-Electric, so one application accesses both pots. Best fit: NL homeowner still on oil furnace, household income below the AMHI threshold, planning to switch in next 12 months. Funding is running out — NRCan has stated the envelope is expected to be fully committed in early 2026. If you qualify, do not wait.
