Newfoundland and Labrador home energy rebates
12 home energy programs are open in Newfoundland and Labrador right now, and 1 more is announced: 7 run by the province and utilities, and 6 federal. For an air-source heat pump, the Oil to Electric Incentive Program pays up to $9,000. 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.
Many Newfoundland and Labrador homes still heat with oil or electric baseboards, which makes them some of the best candidates for heat pump rebates in Canada. We track takeCHARGE, provincial oil-to-electric support and the federal programs so you can see your likely total before you call an installer.
