Chauffez Vert Has Ended: Your Options to Replace Oil Heating

Written by

in

Chauffez vert, which helped replace central oil or propane heating, ended on March 31, 2026, and no new applications are accepted. To convert today, the main remaining aid is Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert for an eligible heat pump, combined with Rénoclimat for insulation.

Legal reminder: in Quebec, since December 31, 2023, installing, replacing or doing a major repair on an oil heating appliance is prohibited. If your furnace fails, converting becomes mandatory.

Remaining aid

  • LogisVert (Hydro-Québec): heat pumps, geothermal, heat storage. See our LogisVert guide.
  • Rénoclimat (Quebec): insulation, air sealing, doors and windows. See Rénoclimat 2026.

The federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program is no longer taking new registrations in 2026.

Conversion steps

  1. Assess the house: insulation, electrical service, heat distribution.
  2. Choose the system: central or ductless heat pump, geothermal, or baseboards with heat storage.
  3. Remove the oil tank to standards, by a qualified professional.
  4. Upgrade the electrical service if needed, by a master electrician.
  5. Claim the rebates with invoices and proof.
