In effect since October 29, 2013, the Chauffez Vert financing program, launched by the Quebec government, allows you to replace your oil heating system or water heater with a more efficient and less polluting heating system. This program applies to the conversion of any heating system or water heater whose energy source is a fossil fuel (except natural gas). 

This program is intended first and foremost for individuals who want to reduce their heating costs while benefiting from a heating system that is less harmful to the environment. The amount of financial assistance granted by the program Chauffez Vert varies between $250 and $1275, depending on your needs. Whether you own a single-family home or a multi-unit building, you can take advantage of this financial assistance under certain conditions. Also, starting in January 2021, bonuses will be granted to participants who submit a request for financial assistance by December 31, 2020 at the latest.

In addition, important changes concerning heat pumps will come into effect. The financial assistance for the installation or replacement of an eligible heat pump will be modified.

• The financial assistance is no longer a fixed amount.
• It varies mainly according to the winter heating capacity of the installed system.
• The higher the capacity of the heat pump, the greater the financial assistance will be.
• The financial assistance is $50 for every 1,000 BTU of heating at -8°C and will replace the fixed amount of $650 currently offered.
