Common Questions

Homeowners can access the Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, which offers up to $6,700 for efficient heat pumps. Additionally, a $350M provincial initiative covers up to 55% of installation costs for eligible rental properties to improve energy efficiency.

For residential buildings, the minimum permit fee is $167.40. The actual cost is calculated at $9.80 for every $1,000 of projected work value, including labor and materials.

Prices have risen by 5-15% due to the mandatory transition to low-GWP refrigerants like R-454B, which required equipment redesigns, alongside a 10% baseline tariff on imported components and record-high copper prices near $11,975 per metric ton.

A full system replacement for a 2,000 sq ft home typically averages $13,430 CAD. This includes a high-efficiency gas furnace and a central air conditioning or heat pump unit with standard installation.
