Thanks for the question.
Certainly significantly reducing energy use in our buildings and in our homes not only makes home heating more affordable, it creates good bang for local jobs and it lowers greenhouse gas emissions. That is why we introduced the Canada greener homes grant—so Canadians can take climate action at home and save on energy. Through this program, Canadians are eligible for up to $5,000 towards the cost of home retrofits like solar panels, better windows or heat pumps.
We also announced the oil to heat pump affordability grant last November as a new stream under the already very popular Canada greener homes initiative. This grant is self-explanatory. It allows homeowners to swap out their oil furnaces for heat pumps. Through this initiative, families across the country are able to save thousands of dollars on their annual heating bills.
