Yes, you can use the Canada Greener Homes Loan for a heat pump installation. This federal program, administered by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), provides interest-free financing of up to $40,000 to help homeowners cover the cost of eligible energy-efficient retrofits.
To use the loan for a heat pump, you must follow these specific requirements:
- Eligible Equipment: The heat pump must be an NRCan-approved model. Eligible upgrades include air source heat pumps, cold climate heat pumps, and furnace-to-heat pump conversions.
- Mandatory Evaluations: You must complete a pre-retrofit EnerGuide home evaluation before starting any work and a post-retrofit evaluation once the installation is finished to verify the upgrades.
- Professional Installation: The installation must be performed by a licensed professional. You are required to provide a detailed invoice that includes the brand, model, serial number, and itemized labor costs.
- Primary Residence: The property must be your primary residence, and you must be the owner of the single-family home (or eligible multi-unit building).
This loan is designed to work alongside other incentives, meaning you can often combine it with cold climate heat pump rebates to further reduce your overall project costs.
