Since October 1, 2026, the split is clear. LogisVert pays for heat pumps, geothermal and electric thermal storage. Rénoclimat pays for insulation, windows, fixed batteries and flood protection, and no longer covers heat pumps. You can use both on one home for different work, but not for the same work.
Side by side
| LogisVert | Rénoclimat | |
|---|---|---|
| Run by | Hydro-Québec | Government of Québec (environment ministry) |
| What it pays for | Air-source heat pumps, geothermal, electric thermal storage, roof insulation with air sealing, and a few appliances | Roof, wall and foundation insulation, windows, fixed home batteries, backup power connection, and flood adaptation. No heat pumps |
| How amounts are set | Heat pumps: a rate per 1,000 BTU/h of capacity at -8 °C. Other measures: fixed amounts | A rate per square foot or per window, up to a cap for each measure |
| Maximums | Up to $6,700 advertised for a heat pump; up to $22,000 for electric thermal storage with a central heat pump | Up to $21,500 for a house, or $31,000 for a duplex, triplex or larger building, for energy work |
| Energy evaluation | Not required | Optional; up to $500 of it is covered |
| Main heating | Heat pumps and roof insulation: the home’s main heating must be electric | No heating-fuel rule; the building must be on the Hydro-Québec, municipal or co-op grid |
| Contractor | A business holding the right RBQ licence subclasses | RBQ-licensed contractor who signs the program’s certificate of compliance. No do-it-yourself work |
| When to apply | Within 9 months of installation, on logisvert.ca (in French) | Within 12 months of finishing the work, in a new portal Québec expects to open in fall 2026. Not open yet |
| Combining | Fine with Rénoclimat for different work | Not with any other aid for the same work |
LogisVert and Rénoclimat compared, as of October 2026
Which program pays for your upgrade
- Heat pump: LogisVert. It pays $50 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C for an ENERGY STAR unit and $120 for an ENERGY STAR Cold Climate unit. Our LogisVert guide has an estimator.
- Wall or foundation insulation, windows: Rénoclimat. Walls earn $3.50 per sq ft, up to $7,000 for a house, and windows $300 per opening, up to $4,500.
- Roof insulation: either one, not both. LogisVert pays $1,500 if the whole roof reaches R-50 and every listed air-leak point is caulked, in an electrically heated house. Rénoclimat pays $1.75 per sq ft, up to $2,000 for a house.
See every Québec program on our Québec heat pump rebates and Québec insulation rebates pages.
Using both programs on one home
The rule is about the work, not the home. A LogisVert heat pump and Rénoclimat wall insulation on the same house is fine. Claiming the same roof insulation from both is not: if another government body or Hydro-Québec program has already paid for that work, LogisVert won’t, and Rénoclimat can’t be combined with other aid for the same work.
Watch the claim windows too. LogisVert gives you 9 months from installation, and Rénoclimat 12 months from finishing the work. Keep every invoice and photo, since the Rénoclimat portal isn’t open yet.
What changed on October 1, 2026
Rénoclimat was overhauled. The energy evaluation became optional, with up to $500 covered, and the post-work evaluation was dropped. Heat pumps, doors, air sealing and ventilation are no longer covered. Fixed home batteries, backup power connections and a flood-adaptation stream were added.
If your home had a pre-work evaluation under the old rules, or you requested one by October 12, 2026, you can finish under the old rules. The post-work evaluation must be done by March 31, 2027. This version of Rénoclimat runs until March 31, 2029, or until its budget runs out. More on the evaluation in EnerGuide home evaluation.

Often, yes. The exclusions, worked examples by province and the order to apply in, so two programs don't cancel each other out.
