Eligibility and Requirements
Ventilation system
A mechanical ventilation system serves to evacuate excess humidity and pollutants from the home and introduce clean air to replace stale air. A heat recovery ventilator can maintain quality ambient air without significantly increasing the energy bill.
Please note that if you are only installing a heat recovery ventilator without undertaking other energy efficiency work, you could fall short of becoming eligible for financial assistance under the Rénoclimat program. Please talk about it with your Rénoclimat advisor.
Water heating systems
Water heater fuelled by oil or propane
For replacement of a water heater fuelled by oil or propane with a system fuelled by electricity or another source of renewable energy, consult the Chauffez vert program.
Drain water heat recovery systems
A drain water heat recovery system offers a simple and maintenance free way to recover some of the heat from your shower water that is carried to the drain. Such systems can save up to 40% of your water heating costs.
Heating systems
If you want to replace or upgrade your heating system, ask your advisor Rénoclimat.
The replacement of a heating system is not subject to financial assistance in the current Rénoclimat program, with the exception of the installation of a heat pump or a geothermal system.
Geothermal system
Geothermal systems use the soil or ground water as a source to heat the home during the winter and to evacuate heat during the summer.
Heat pump
Heat pumps can be used as a heating system and as an air conditioner. In the winter, a heat pump uses less energy than other heating devices to produce heat. In addition, there are low temperature heat pump models that can heat a home practically year round, even in very low temperatures.
Conditions
- The heat pump selected must appear on the list of eligible models at the time of installation.
- Heat pumps must not be installed outside the insulation (e.g., in the attic).
- Make sure that you comply with all the program conditions set out in the Participant’s Guide.
Financial assistance
- The financial assistance is no longer a fixed amount. It depends primarily on the winter heating output of the system installed. Consequently, the higher the output of the heat pump, the greater the financial assistance.
- The financial assistance amounts to $50 per thousand BTUs in heating output at -8°C.
- See the List of eligible heat pumps for the amount of financial assistance granted for the model selected.
