The thing most pages get wrong

Its income lines are far higher than most income-tested programmes in Canada: $163,300 after tax for a family of four. This is Yukon's co-delivered route for the federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability money, but it is not limited to oil-heated homes.

If you do not qualify

The ordinary heat pump rebate pays half the cost, up to $10,500, and needs no pre-approval.
