“The free heat pump program makes it easy for Island homeowners to help the province reach our nation-leading net zero goals. We’re closing in on nearly 3000 free heat pumps installed so far, and we want to keep that momentum going so even more Islanders can save money on their energy bills.”

– Environment, Energy and Climate Action Minister Steven Myers

To be eligible, Islanders must:

  • own their home;
  • have a property value of $300,000 or less, and;
  • have an annual household income of $75,000 or less.
