Excerpt

Canada has announced a $2 billion National Heat Pump Rebate Program, expected to launch in early 2027, to help up to 820,000 homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Eligible households could receive rebates of up to $10,000, making cold-climate heat pumps more affordable and helping reduce long-term energy costs. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling while using significantly less energy than conventional electric resistance heating systems. Brightworks Energy is working with industry partners, equipment suppliers, and its technical team to prepare for the program’s rollout and incorporate heat pump solutions into its residential service offerings.
