LogisVert — Modest-Income Households closed-to-registration

Administered by Hydro-Québec, funded jointly by the Government of Canada, the Gouvernement du Québec and Hydro-Québec.

Quebec's income-tested offer: a free ENERGY STAR cold-climate wall-mounted heat pump, installed, for modest-income owner-occupants and tenants. You cannot apply to it directly.

What it pays

No published cap — and that is the honest answer

Nothing is paid to the household. A cold-climate wall-mounted heat pump is installed free, and Hydro-Québec publishes no value for it.

What you receive

  • An ENERGY STAR certified cold-climate wall-mounted heat pump, installed at no cost
  • Smart thermostats instead, free, where a heat pump cannot be installed
  • A feasibility visit and coaching throughout, at no cost
  • Support from the ACEF du Nord de Montréal, anywhere in Québec, on 1-866-260-6121

Who is eligible

tenure
Tenants and owner-occupants both. Where the home is rented, the tenant starts the process and the landlord has a part to play later.
income
The Éconologis income table decides it; Hydro-Québec publishes no separate threshold.
gateway
You must have taken part in Éconologis after 30 September 2025. There is no other way in.
not guaranteed
Taking part in Éconologis guarantees nothing. Eligibility still turns on the home, the installer's assessment and technical criteria.
cost
Nothing, at any stage — the equipment, the installation and the visits are all free.
warranty
Heat pumps generally carry a 10-year warranty; maintenance is the household's responsibility.

What disqualifies you

The rules people find out about after the work is done.

  • Low-cost rental (HLM) units.
  • Housing co-operatives.
  • Housing non-profits.

The thing most pages get wrong

Registration for the 2026-2027 season has ended on both halves — Hydro-Québec's page and Éconologis's say so in the same words. Applications already in are being processed. Since Éconologis is the only door into this programme and Éconologis is shut, a Quebec household reading about a free heat pump today cannot start one.

And the second thing

A landlord cannot raise the rent because of work done under this programme. Hydro-Québec states it plainly, which matters because the tenant applies and the landlord signs off.

Status note

Delivery runs years behind registration. An Éconologis visit between 1 October 2025 and 31 March 2026 leads to a heat pump between summer 2026 and spring 2027; a visit in the 2026-2027 season leads to one starting in autumn 2027.

If you do not qualify

A household that does not qualify on income applies to the ordinary LogisVert programme instead, and pays for the heat pump less the grant.
