What happened to Chauffez vert – Oil and Propane Heating Replacement

  1. Québec bans new oil heating appliances, including like-for-like replacements

  2. Government announces the program will end

  3. Last day to finish work and apply

  4. Last day to complete an open file

Chauffez vert paid homeowners to remove an oil or propane furnace or boiler and install a new electric or renewable heating system. The amount depended on the housing type and the fuel being replaced.

The government announced in July 2025 that the program would end. Work had to be finished and applications received by March 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Applicants with incomplete files, or who still had to provide their social insurance number, had until June 30, 2026. Since December 31, 2023, Québec has banned installing new oil heating appliances, including replacing one oil appliance with another.

The full record, with every source we checked, is on the Chauffez vert – Oil and Propane Heating Replacement program page. Every change we log is on the rebate tracker.

Before you book: what each replacement needs

Not sure which apply to your home? The furnaces & boilers rebates in Québec page lists every program by heating fuel, and the Québec rebates hub covers every upgrade.

If you already applied

A closed program usually still honours files it accepted before the cut-off, on its own deadlines. Follow up with Government of Québec directly: we don't take applications and can't check a file for you.

Planning new work? Some replacements need pre-approval or an energy assessment before anything is installed. Read the guide to stacking heat pump rebates for the order to do things in, and how to spot a rebate scam before you sign with anyone who mentions a "government program".
