Rebate Programs Change Often
Getting off an oil furnace or electric baseboards isn’t cheap. That’s exactly why rebate programs are there. Federal and provincial governments want more Nova Scotians and Newfoundlanders to switch to heat pumps, and they’ve put real money behind that goal. The trick is, these programs are moving targets. Funding levels change, eligibility rules get updated, and a program that was open in the spring can look totally different by fall.
Heat Pump Rebates by Province
Rebate programs differ by province. In Nova Scotia, Efficiency Nova Scotia offers heat pump rebate programs, including the Moderate Income Rebate for eligible households. In Newfoundland and Labrador, takeCHARGE’s Oil to Electric Incentive Program helps households switch off oil heat. Some earlier federal programs, like the Canada Greener Homes Grant, have closed, which is exactly why we check what’s open for your home at your assessment.

Where GreenPump Energy fits in — and where we don’t
Many homeowners try to figure this out themselves and give up after a few pages on a government website. We’d rather that didn’t happen to you.
Clear guidance. No guesswork.
Here’s the real deal, no fine print required. GreenPump Energy isn’t the government. We can’t approve your rebate application or guarantee that you’ll qualify for a specific amount. What we do is walk you through the process. We explain which programs you might be eligible for based on your current heating source and home, help you understand what documents are typically needed, and answer questions along the way.
Timing Matters
Getting the order wrong can slow things down or, in a worst case, cost you the rebate entirely. We’ve been through this process with hundreds of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland homes, so we generally know what a given program will ask for and when.
How Rebates and Financing Work Together
A rebate lowers the amount you’d need to finance, which brings your monthly payment down with it. We go over both together with your quote.
