The landscape of energy rebates in Nova Scotia is changing. Here's everything you need to know to maximize your savings this year.
The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Program
The OHPA program has been a game-changer for many households. In 2025, the eligibility criteria remain focused on low-to-median income households currently heating with oil.
Key Changes for 2025
- Increased grant amounts for cold-climate units.
- Streamlined application process.
- New list of eligible contractors (check our directory!).
Provincial Rebates via Efficiency NS
For those who don't qualify for OHPA, the provincial rebates are still substantial. You can receive up to $5,000 for a whole-home solution.
“The most important step is ensuring you hire a verified contractor who can handle the paperwork correctly.”
