Manitoba’s New Geothermal Heat Pump Rebates: Save Big on Energy-Efficient Heating & Cooling
If you’ve been considering an energy-efficient upgrade for your home, now is the time to act. Manitoba has just announced a new geothermal heat pump rebate as part of the Affordable Home Energy Program, making it easier than ever for homeowners to switch to clean, cost-saving ground source heat pumps.
Why Geothermal Heat Pumps?
Geothermal heat pumps (also known as ground source heat pumps) are one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly ways to heat and cool your home. By using the earth’s stable underground temperature, these systems can:
- Reduce electric heating costs by up to 60%
- Lower your carbon footprint
- Protect against future energy price increases
- Deliver reliable year-round comfort
What’s the New Rebate in Manitoba?
Under the new rebate program, qualifying Manitoba homeowners can install a geothermal heat pump with no upfront cost and pay only $75 per month, interest-free, for 15 years — a total of $13,500.
Additional notes:
- Projects exceeding $38,000 will require a partial upfront contribution.
- Any home upgrades required as part of the installation may require upfront payments to your contractor.
This is a limited-time, enhanced incentive designed to make geothermal systems more accessible and affordable across the province.
Who Is Eligible?
You may qualify for this rebate if:
- Your system replaces electric baseboards, an electric furnace/boiler, natural gas, or fuel oil.
- Your home is your primary (not seasonal) residence in Manitoba.
- Your contractor is a registered installer with Efficiency Manitoba and a member of the Manitoba Geothermal Energy Alliance.
- The system is installed in an existing or new residential property.
