Are there federal or provincial rebates for heat pump installation in Calgary homes?

Check what is open when you are ready to buy, because heat pump programs change. The best-known federal program has ended: Natural Resources Canada lists the Canada Greener Homes Grant as closed, with December 31, 2025 as the last day to submit documents, and the Canada Greener Homes Loan portal says that as of March 31, 2026, funding has been fully committed.

Other federal, Alberta or City of Calgary programs may open or change, so check Natural Resources Canada, the Government of Alberta and the City of Calgary for whatever is current before you sign a contract. Many programs require an energy assessment or approval before any work starts, so confirm that first.

The electrical side of a heat pump

That part is this site's area. A heat pump usually needs its own electrical circuit, and whether your existing panel has room for it is a question for an electrician to check before you choose a system. Ask the electrician to:

• check your panel's capacity and whether an upgrade is needed,
• quote the circuit, disconnect and any panel work as separate lines, and
• say who will take out the electrical permit for the work.

The heating contractor and the electrician often coordinate on the same job, so ask which of them is responsible for each part.

Before you sign, ask whoever is selling you the heat pump to confirm in writing which rebate or loan program, if any, they are counting on, and that it is open today.
