Heat pump rebates in Winnipeg

Last checked 2026-11-01

Short answer: Winnipeg homeowners can get the federal National Heat Pump Rebate: $2,000, or up to $10,000 if after-tax household income is at or below the Manitoba threshold ($43,146 for one person, $125,843 for a family of four). Manitoba also has provincial offers.

What's different about Winnipeg

Winnipeg has very cold winters but low-cost hydroelectricity, which changes the running-cost maths compared with most provinces.

Prairie winters bring long stretches of deep cold. Cold-climate air-source heat pumps are rated to operate to about -30°C (NRCan), so most homes here keep or add backup heat for the coldest days.

Can I combine the federal rebate with Manitoba programmes?

Often yes, but each programme sets its own stacking rules. Check the provincial programme terms before you sign a contract.
