Government of Canada Announces Launch of Strengthened Heat Pump Program for NL

The Federal Government has announced the launch of the strengthened Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Under the program, low-to-median-income households in Newfoundland and Labrador can now apply to receive up to $22, 000 in funding to cover the full, average cost of switching to a heat pump — including up to $15,000 from the Government of Canada's OHPA program and another up to $7,000 from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and other federal funds.

Successful applicants will also receive an upfront, one-time payment of $250 from the federal government. The federal government will soon be sending $250 payment cheques to the thousands of households in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island that signed up to receive a heat pump supported by the original OHPA program since it first launched in the spring of 2023.
