Home Energy Rebates in Halifax

Nova Scotia's flagship heat pump rebate program closed at the end of 2025. Here's exactly what Halifax homeowners can still claim in 2026 — no outdated numbers.

What Halifax homeowners can claim

All amounts below are in Canadian dollars, current as of 2026.

🔥 Heat Pump

Up to $5,000 (all) / $15,000 (moderate income)

The big stackable Home Heating System Rebates Program closed Dec 31, 2025, but Efficiency Nova Scotia still offers up to $5,000 to any homeowner, up to $15,000 for moderate-income households, and free installation for income-qualified homes through HomeWarming.

🌡️ Insulation & Air Sealing

Free

Still active as a no-cost upgrade for eligible Halifax households.

☀️ Solar

$0.60/watt + Solar City

The provincial $0.60/watt rebate nets roughly $6,000 on a 10kW system. Halifax also runs its own Solar City program — property-assessed financing at 4.75% fixed over 10 years, no upfront cost, repaid through your property tax bill via a Local Improvement Charge. It's financing, not a rebate, but it removes the cash-flow barrier that stops a lot of homeowners from going solar.

💧 Water Heater

Up to $2,500

Still active for efficient home water heating systems.

🌡️ Smart Thermostat

Free

Free product and installation still offered.

🔌 Battery Storage

🟩 Windows & Doors

Not confirmed

No standalone rebate found — may be covered under broader insulation programs.

🚘 EV Charger

No dedicated residential EV charger rebate found as of 2026.
