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 capacity of the unit, often calculated per ton of cooling or per 12,000 BTU/h.

• 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 walls. LogisVert encourages improvements to the building envelope through rebates per square foot:

• Roof and attic insulation: Crucial for preventing heat loss through the top of the home.

• Exterior wall and foundation (basement) insulation: Reduces thermal bridging and helps protect the structure against moisture.

• Air sealing: Work aimed at sealing air leaks around windows, doors, and electrical outlets.

Water Heaters and High-Efficiency Appliances

The program does not stop at space heating. It also includes:

• Storage water heaters: Certified models that optimize water heating.

• Pool heat pumps: A much more eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional electric pool heaters.

• Drying appliances: Certain heat pump dryer models are also eligible.

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.

2. Work: Have the installation carried out by a certified contractor.

3. Collect supporting documents: Keep your detailed invoice, showing the model, brand, and contractor’s contact information, as well as technical sheets if needed.

4. Online application: Access the LogisVert portal. You generally need to submit your application within 6 to 9 months following the work's invoicing date.

5. Payment: After validation by Hydro-Québec’s experts, the rebate is sent directly by mail or via direct deposit.

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 strict to avoid overfunding the same measure.

• LogisVert vs. Rénoclimat: As a general rule, you cannot receive a LogisVert rebate for an appliance, such as a heat pump, if you have already received assistance for that same appliance through Quebec’s Rénoclimat program or the federal Greener Homes program.

• Winning strategy: Use Rénoclimat for upgrades that require a full energy audit, such as overall insulation work, and use LogisVert for the quick addition of high-efficiency equipment or specific appliances.

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.
