New Brunswick home energy rebates
12 home energy programs are open in New Brunswick right now, and 1 more is announced: 7 run by utilities, and 6 federal. For an air-source heat pump, the Total Home Energy Savings Program pays up to $1,500. The federal National Heat Pump Rebate adds $2,000 (up to $10,000 below the median income) once it opens; there’s no launch date yet.
NB Power programs, the federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability grant and the upcoming National Heat Pump Rebate can add up to a big share of a heat pump's cost in New Brunswick. This page shows which offers fit your heating fuel and income, and the order to apply in.
