Questions
The heat pump rebate in New Brunswick: questions
Is there a heat pump rebate in New Brunswick right now?
Yes. The federal National Heat Pump Rebate counts installs from November 1, 2026 and opens for applications in early 2027: $2,000, or up to $10,000 if you qualify. NB Power also runs the Total Home Energy Savings Program, which needs a home energy evaluation before the work, and the Enhanced Energy Savings Program for income-qualified homes.
Can I get the federal rebate and the NB Power rebate?
The federal page does not yet say how the two work together. NB Power's program needs you to register and have an evaluation before any work starts, so do that first if you want to keep both open.
What is the income cutoff for the higher rebate in New Brunswick?
After-tax household income at or below $38,352 for one person, $78,502 for two, $104,270 for three, $127,041 for four, and $131,835 for five or more (2025 dollars).
How do I apply for a heat pump rebate in New Brunswick?
It depends on the program. For the federal National Heat Pump Rebate you install first (from November 1, 2026) and apply online yourself in early 2027 with the receipt. For NB Power's Total Home program you book a home energy evaluation before buying anything. Landlords need NB Power's pre-approval before any work under the Rental Owners Rebate. Income-qualified homes apply to the Enhanced Energy Savings Program with a Notice of Assessment.
Does NB Power give a heat pump rebate in 2026?
Yes. The Total Home Energy Savings Program pays $400 for a mini-split, $350 per indoor head on a multi-zone, $1,000 for a furnace add-on, $1,500 for a central ducted heat pump and $2,000 for geothermal, after a home energy evaluation. Landlords can get $1,875 to $7,500 per mini-split, per unit, through the Rental Owners Rebate.
Is the New Brunswick oil to heat pump program still open?
No. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program closed to new registrations on June 30, 2026. If you had a heat pump through it at your address, the federal rebate is not available there.
Does a single ductless heat pump qualify for the rebate?
The program supports heat pump systems that can heat your entire home, and the model must be on the government's eligible list. Whether one unit is enough depends on your home, so ask your installer to size the system for the whole home.
Do I have to remove my oil furnace to get the rebate?
No. You do not need to remove your existing heating or show that it failed. Homes heated with oil, electricity, wood, propane and other fuels are all eligible.
Can landlords or renters get the National Heat Pump Rebate?
The homeowner applies. The home does not have to be their primary residence, so a landlord can apply for a property they rent out. Renters cannot apply themselves.
Can I get the rebate if I already had a heat pump grant?
Not at the same address. The rebate is not available if federal funding for a heat pump has already been provided at the address, for example through the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program or a Canada Greener Homes heat pump grant. Past federal funding for other upgrades, like windows, doors or insulation, does not count against it.
Other provinces: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador. En français.
