You can also get a rebate for installing heat pumps in:

• existing homes 6 months old or older; or
• new or existing commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings.

Eligibility

• Air-source heat pumps must be listed by Natural Resources Canada as a Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump for Manitoba and Yukon.
• Ground-source heat pumps must be ENERGY STAR® certified.
• The home must be under 6 months old.

Rebate amount
