Questions
Income and the heat pump rebate
What income do I need for the $10,000 National Heat Pump Rebate?
Your after-tax household income has to be at or below the median for your province or territory and household size. For example, in New Brunswick it is $78,502 for two people and $127,041 for four. Above the cutoff, the rebate is $2,000. Either way, only if you qualify.
How do I work out my after-tax household income?
Take your net income (line 23600 of your 2025 tax return) and subtract total tax payable (line 43500). If you have a spouse or common-law partner, do the same for them and add the two together.
How does the government check my income?
When the portal opens in early 2027, you give your Social Insurance Number to apply for the higher amount, and it is sent securely to the Canada Revenue Agency to verify your household income. Never give your SIN to a contractor.
Is the higher rebate always $10,000?
No. It is up to $10,000, and the actual amount depends on household income and the cost of the equipment installed.
