🔥 Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program: Upgrade Your Home, Save Big in 2025!

🔥 Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program: Upgrade Your Home, Save Big in 2025!

Are you still heating your home with oil? 🛢️ It’s time to switch to a cleaner, cheaper, and smarter solution — and the Canadian government is ready to pay you thousands to make the change.

The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Program is giving homeowners up to $10,000 💰 to replace their old oil furnace with an energy-efficient heat pump. That means:
✅ Lower bills
✅ Year-round comfort (heat + AC ❄️🔥)
✅ A greener, more sustainable home

👉 Apply today: Official OHPA Program – NRCan


🌟 Why Heat Pumps Are the Future

  • Slash your heating costs — heat pumps are 2–3x more efficient than oil.
  • Stay cool in summer — one system = both heating and air conditioning.
  • Eco-friendly choice — cut your home’s carbon footprint instantly.
  • Boost home value — buyers prefer energy-efficient upgrades.

No wonder homeowners across Canada are rushing to make the switch. 🚀


🏡 Who Can Apply?

Not everyone qualifies — this program is designed to help low- to middle-income households transition away from oil. Here’s the checklist:

✔️ You own the home & it’s your primary residence
✔️ Your main heating system is oil
✔️ Household income meets the program threshold
✔️ You install an approved cold-climate heat pump
✔️ You haven’t already claimed a heat pump grant under Greener Homes

📌 Pro Tip: Even if you already upgraded after Jan 31, 2023, you might still be eligible retroactively.

💸 What Does the $10,000 Cover?

The grant isn’t just for the heat pump unit itself. You can also get support for:

🔧 Installation costs (labour + setup)
⚡ Electrical or mechanical upgrades
🛢️ Safe removal of your oil tank
🔥 Backup electric heating (if needed)
🚿 Converting oil-dependent appliances

Basically, the government takes care of the heavy lifting (and heavy spending) for you.

  1. Check eligibility here 👉 OHPA Program
