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)
FederalClosed
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) is closed. December 31, 2025 was the last day for participants to submit their documents — remaining files are being finalized by NRCan. New applicants should look at the Affordability Program (low- to median-income) and provincial programs — the Greener Homes Loan has also since closed to new applicants.View program →FederalClosed
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHPA)The federal grant of up to $10,000 (up to $15,000 in co-delivery provinces) to switch an oil-heated home to a cold-climate electric heat pump is closed: July 31, 2026 was the last day to apply. Approved applicants must complete the work and upload all documents (receipts, contractor attestation) by January 31, 2027. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the provincial Oil to Electric program — which embeds the OHPA funding — is still accepting applications.View program →FederalActive

Home Insulation Programs (PEI)efficiencyPEI's insulation support, in two streams: completely FREE insulation for households under $55,000 income (home assessed at $300,000 or less — funded with the federal Affordability Program), and income-scaled insulation rebates for everyone else, increased ~40% in June 2025. One of the few PEI programs still fully open after the April 2026 rebate wind-down.View program →Provincial · PEActive
Winter Warming Program (PEI)Free winterization for lower-income PEI households: air sealing, a programmable thermostat, LED bulbs, a low-flow shower head and a voucher for a free heating-system cleaning — installed by delivery partner Summerhill Connect.

Free Heat Pump Program (PEI) — closedPEI's famous free-heat-pump program for income-qualified households is CLOSED to new applications, along with PEI's OHPA intake — the budget was fully allocated (intake paused June 2, 2025).
