Alberta home energy rebates
14 home energy programs are open in Alberta right now, and 2 more are announced: 10 run by cities, and 6 federal. No province-wide program in Alberta pays for heat pumps right now. The federal National Heat Pump Rebate will pay $2,000, or up to $10,000 for households below the median income, once it opens (no launch date yet). The Clean Energy Improvement Program can finance the work in Airdrie, Banff and 25 other places.
Alberta has no broad provincial retrofit rebate right now, so most of the money for Alberta homeowners comes from federal programs, municipal Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) financing, and city-run incentives. We list what's open, what you can combine, and what has closed, with the date we last checked each one.
