Have you been waiting to upgrade your heating system and planned on tapping into the OHPA program to help cover the cost of a new heat pump?
The Oil-to-Heat-Pump Affordability Program (OHPA), which once offered Nova Scotia homeowners up to $15,000 to switch from oil heating to a high-efficiency heat pump, has officially ended.
So what does that mean for you? Are you out of luck if you still want a heat pump? The good news is Nova Scotia homeowners can still claim up to $10,000 in combined rebates through two programs that are very much active in 2026: the Home Energy Assessment (HEA) and the Moderate Income Rebate (MIR). Here’s exactly how it works, who qualifies, and how to lock in your rebate before this funding gets capped too.
Who Qualifies?
Most Nova Scotia homeowners qualify for at least one program. It depends on:
- Household income (for MIR)
- Current heating type (oil, propane, wood, or electric)
- Completing a Home Energy Assessment first

🎁 Exclusive MADA Promotional Offer!
