Home Energy Rebates in PEI (2026)
PEI cut hard in 2026: heat pump, water heater and HRV rebates ended April 15, and the famous Free Heat Pump Program is closed to new applicants. Still open: free insulation for households under $55,000, insulation rebates for everyone, Winter Warming, and biomass rebates. Here is the real picture, verified.
Programs available in Prince Edward Island (8)

Canada Greener Homes Loan (closed)The federal interest-free loan of $5,000 to $40,000 for major home-energy retrofits is closed to new applicants — NRCan states funding is fully committed and new loan applications cannot be approved. Homeowners with an already-approved loan can continue to access their funding. New applicants should look at the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (low- to median-income) and provincial programs.View program →FederalClosed
Canada Greener Homes Grant (closed)The federal grant of up to $5,000 for home retrofits ($5,600 with the evaluation reimbursement) closed to new applicants in January 2026. Homeowners already in the program can complete their retrofits.

One of the few PEI programs still fully open after the April 2026 rebate wind-down.View program →Provincial · PEActive
