The federal government has unveiled an 8-year, $2 billion residential retrofit initiative designed to lower home heating bills, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and modernize one million homes across Canada.
Anchored by a streamlined National Heat Pump Rebate Program and expanding on existing provincial frameworks like the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP), the updated funding eliminates past administrative friction. By removing required pre- and post-energy audits and introducing 24-hour application pre-approvals, the strategy helps homeowners replace aging heating systems before winter cold snaps hit.Funding Tiers & Program Mechanics
