The order matters
Both takeCHARGE programs need approval before the work is done. Installing first can cost you the incentive.
Heating with electric baseboards?
Oil to Electric is for oil and propane homes. Baseboard-heated homes can look at the Greener Homes program if they meet the income limits, Newfoundland Power financing, and the federal rebate.
The federal rebate
The National Heat Pump Rebate counts installs from November 1, 2026 and opens in early 2027. It is $2,000 for households above the median income, or up to $10,000 at or below it. See our National Heat Pump Rebate guide for the full rules.
