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

Are you still heating your home with oil? πŸ›’οΈ It’s time to switch to a cleaner, cheaper, and smarter solution β€” 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 πŸ’° to replace their old oil furnace with an energy-efficient heat pump. That means:
βœ… Lower bills
βœ… Year-round comfort (heat + AC ❄️πŸ”₯)
βœ… A greener, more sustainable home

πŸ‘‰ Apply today: Official OHPA Program – NRCan


🌟 Why Heat Pumps Are the Future

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

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


🏑 Who Can Apply?

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

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

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