Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program: Everything You Need to Know About 2026 Grants

The LogisVert program is Hydro-Québec’s flagship initiative for offering direct financial rebates to homeowners carrying out energy-efficiency upgrades. In 2026, this program notably covers the installation of high-efficiency heat pumps, insulation and air sealing of the building envelope, as well as certain water heaters and high-performance heating appliances, subject to the official list published by Hydro-Québec. To maximize your financial assistance, your work must absolutely be carried out by an RBQ-licensed contractor, and your application must be submitted online shortly after the completion of the project.

Quebec Energy Rebates 2026: LogisVert Program Explained

In the current context of Quebec’s energy transition, Hydro-Québec launched LogisVert, a simplified and accessible rebate program designed to accelerate home decarbonization. Unlike prior programs that were sometimes complex, LogisVert focuses on practical measures that directly reduce your electricity consumption and improve your comfort, both in summer and winter.

Whether you own a single-family home or a multiplex, understanding how this program works is key to reducing the cost of your renovations while protecting the long-term value of your real estate investment.

What Is LogisVert and Who Can Benefit from It?

LogisVert is a financial assistance program managed exclusively by Hydro-Québec. Its objective is simple: to encourage Quebecers to choose high-efficiency equipment instead of standard models.

Basic Eligibility Criteria:

• Type of dwelling: The program is intended for owners of detached houses (new or existing), semi-detached homes, townhouses, and multiplexes (up to a certain size).

• Location: The dwelling must be located in Quebec and tied to a Hydro-Québec customer account or to a municipal distribution network.

• Use: The residence must be used for residential purposes. Commercial properties have other dedicated programs.

List of Eligible Work and Equipment for Rebates

The LogisVert catalogue in 2026 is extensive. It targets the biggest cost items in a major renovation project.

High-Efficiency Heat Pumps: The Flagship Measure

A heat pump, whether central or wall-mounted, is the preferred tool for heating and cooling efficiently in Québec. LogisVert offers generous rebates based on the heating capacity of the unit at -8°C, calculated precisely per 1,000 BTU/h (rather than using standard cooling tons or nominal capacity).

• Wall-mounted heat pump: High-performance wall-mounted heat pumps can heat efficiently even in very cold temperatures, subject to the specifications of models approved on the ENERGY STAR / LogisVert list.

• Central heat pump: This type integrates with your existing air distribution system to provide an even temperature throughout the home.

Insulation and Air Sealing of the Thermal Envelope

A high-performance heat pump is of little use if heat escapes through the roof or structural gaps. LogisVert encourages targeted improvements to the building envelope through a fixed flat-rate rebate:

• Roof and attic insulation: Crucial for preventing heat loss through the top of the home by reaching a minimum thermal resistance of R-50 (RSI 8.8).

• Caulking work: Aims to eliminate drafts by sealing gaps around windows, exterior doors, and other leak-prone openings in the envelope.

• Mandatory combined measure: Both the roof insulation and the caulking work must be completed together by an RBQ-licensed contractor to qualify for the single $1,500 rebate.  

Water Heaters and High-Efficiency Appliances

The LogisVert program is highly targeted and doesn’t cover every appliance in your home. Here is how to navigate the guidelines while still maximizing your home’s efficiency:

• Water Heating: LogisVert does not offer rebates for standard residential hot water tanks (it focuses on thermal storage units for space heating instead). However, because heating water accounts for a massive chunk of your hydro bill, it is still a critical area to upgrade. Make sure to check our article to know the 10 most known problems to water heaters. 

• Pool Equipment: While Hydro-Québec will give you a rebate of up to $300 for an efficient variable-speed filtration pump, they do not offer rebates for heating the water itself. Check our article to know everything about pool heaters.

How Do You Submit a LogisVert Rebate Application?

The process has been modernized to be fully digital. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you stay on track:

1. Verification: Before purchasing, consult the list of eligible products on Hydro-Québec’s website to ensure your chosen model qualifies.

2. Work: Have the installation carried out by a contractor holding a valid and appropriate Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) license.

3. Collect supporting documents: Keep your detailed, fully paid invoice (showing the model, brand, serial numbers, and contractor's RBQ license number) along with your current municipal property tax bill and a clear photo of the unit's outdoor nameplate.

4. Online application:  Access the LogisVert portal. You must submit your application within 9 months following the equipment's installation date.  

5. Payment:  After validation by Hydro-Québec’s experts, the rebate is sent directly to you as a cheque in the mail.  

Combining LogisVert with Other Programs, Such as Rénoclimat

A common question from homeowners is whether it is possible to “double up” on grants. In 2026, stacking rules are straightforward: a single specific upgrade cannot be funded twice by different public programs.

• LogisVert vs. Rénoclimat: There is no risk of overlapping grants for a heat pump because the provincial Rénoclimat program no longer funds residential heat pumps directly—it has completely delegated that measure to Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program.

• The Federal Program: The former Canada Greener Homes Grant is now fully closed to new applicants and is no longer an active factor for current renovation timelines.  

• Winning strategy: Use Rénoclimat for whole-home upgrades that require a mandatory pre- and post-renovation energy audit (such as foundation insulation or window replacements) and use LogisVert for direct, audit-free rebates on efficient equipment (like heat pumps, induction ranges, or heat-pump dryers).

Why Choose a Certified Contractor for Your Work?

Receiving the LogisVert rebate is conditional on the quality of the work performed. Hydro-Québec requires the contractor to hold a valid licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ).

• Validity of the rebate: An invoice from an unlicensed worker or a business without an RBQ licence will render your application ineligible.

• Performance guarantee: A certified installer ensures the heat pump is properly sized for your home, helping avoid unnecessary electricity consumption.

• Legal protection: In the event of a dispute or breakdown, an RBQ licence gives you access to protections and recourse you would not otherwise have.

Conclusion: Maximize Your Return on Investment

The LogisVert program is an exceptional opportunity to modernize your home while reducing your carbon footprint. By planning your work strategically, insulating first and upgrading your heating system second, you can maximize not only your rebates, but also your long-term savings on your electricity bill.
