The rebates your work may qualify for
Three programs are open in Québec in 2026. Here is what they pay, what gets a file rejected, and what we fill out with you.
What a rebate
application really asks for
A rebate program is not a discount applied to your invoice. It is a file: equipment that appears on a list, documents in a set format, and dates to meet in the right order.
Most refusals have nothing to do with the work itself. They come from an assessment done too late, from a device that was not on the right list, or from an invoice missing a number.
We see these files go by all year. We tell you what applies to your project before anything starts, we provide the documents in the expected form, and we fill out the application with you.
The programs your
project may qualify for
The amounts are the ones published by each program, with the date they were verified.
Écorecharge,
home EV charging station
A rebate toward the purchase of a home charging station, if you already own an electric vehicle.
- Home EV charging station
- $600
- Price of the charging station alone, before taxes
- must be over $600
What the program requires
- You have to own an electric vehicle at the moment you file the application.
- The station has to be level 2, so compatible with 208 or 240 volts alternating current, and installed to run that way.
- The station has to be bought from a Canadian retailer. A lease is eligible if the contract runs for at least 36 months.
- Proof that the station was actually installed is required.
- The rebate is paid as a reimbursement: you pay first, you are paid back afterwards.
What we do
- Check that the station you have in mind is on the list of eligible chargers before you buy it.
- Do the installation and hand you the proof of installation in the expected form.
- Fill out and file the application with you, documents included.
LogisVert
The broadest program for a house in Québec. It is the one that touches the most of the work we do.
- Solar panels
- $1,000 per kilowatt installed, up to 40% of the cost
- Cold-climate rated heat pump
- $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at −8 °C
- Heat pump, other eligible models
- $50 per 1,000 BTU/h at −8 °C
- Variable-speed pool pump
- $300
- Two-speed pool pump
- $125
- Induction range
- $250
- Heat pump dryer
- $250
- Roof insulation and weatherstripping
- $1,500
- Replacing central heating with a thermal storage system
- $15,000, or $22,000 with a central heat pump
- Combining several measures
- 5% bonus
What the program requires
- You have to be a residential Hydro-Québec customer.
- The application has to be filed within nine months of the equipment being installed. It is the deadline that costs the most rebates.
- The equipment has to appear on the official list of the program. For a heat pump, that goes through a specific AHRI number.
- The company doing the installation has to be registered with the program and hold the required licences.
- For solar panels, a connection authorization from Hydro-Québec is mandatory, and the connection request has to be filed by a certified electrician.
What we do
- File the grid connection request for a solar self-generation project. That request cannot be filed by the owner alone.
- Pick equipment that is on the eligible list, before it is ordered.
- Give you an invoice that carries what the program asks for: model, serial number, licence, installation date.
- Remind you of the nine-month deadline instead of letting you find it out too late.
RénoPlex
The City of Montréal’s rebate for renovating a 1 to 5 unit building. It covers several of our electrical jobs, but only on the island of Montréal.
- Replacing a 100 A to under 200 A panel
- $625 per panel
- Replacing a 200 A or larger panel
- $1,300 per panel
- Electrical work to connect an EV charging station
- $370 per targeted unit
- Converting oil or gas heating to central electric heating
- $1,000 per targeted unit
- Converting to a central heat pump
- $1,350 per targeted unit
- Replacing an oil water heater with an electric one
- $550 per water heater
What the program requires
- The building has to be within the City of Montréal and have 1 to 5 units. A project on the South Shore does not qualify.
- Approval has to be obtained before the work starts. Starting first closes the file.
- The rebate covers part of the recognized costs, in set amounts by type of work. It is not a full reimbursement.
- Solar panels and radiant floor heating are not among the eligible jobs.
What we do
- Tell you, before anything starts, whether your building and your work fit the program.
- Do the eligible electrical work: panel upgrade, charger connection, heating conversion.
- Hand you an itemized invoice with what the City asks for.
How it works
The path a rebate application takes
We check what applies
Before anything gets started. Depending on the project and the building, one program opens and another does not, and some call for an assessment beforehand that cannot be made up for afterwards.
We pick eligible equipment
Each program keeps its own list. Two devices that look alike in the store are not necessarily both on it, and it plays out at the moment of purchase.
We do the work and the paperwork follows
Itemized invoice, model, serial number, installation date, licence number. One line missing and the file comes back.
We fill out the application with you
Within the program deadlines, with the documents in the expected form. It is the administrator who decides on eligibility, not us, but a complete file does not get rejected over a detail.
What gets a file rejected
The four mistakes that cost a rebate
Filing the application too late
LogisVert gives you nine months after the installation to file. Past that window, the rebate is lost, even if everything else in the file is in order.
Buying the wrong model
Each program keeps its own list of eligible equipment. Two devices that look alike in the store are not necessarily both on it.
Letting the deadline go by
LogisVert wants the application within nine months of the installation. That is a long time, and that is exactly why it gets forgotten.
An incomplete invoice
Model, serial number, installation date, licence number: one line missing and the file comes back. It is the easiest of the four to avoid.
Call us while
everything is still possible
It is the only moment when your file can still be shaped. Once the work is done, some doors are closed.
The work that can
qualify for a rebate
Each page says what the job includes and what makes it bigger or smaller.
EV charger installation
FLO, Wallbox or Tesla, from the electrical panel to the charger. Around 80 installed over a career.

Solar panels
Certified ELIOS de VOLT installer, an accreditation few electricians hold. Informational for now: we assess your project.

Radiant floor heating
Stelpro and Ouellet. An uncommon expertise, planned before the flooring goes down.

Your questions
Questions about rebates
Nothing here promises eligibility: it is the program administrator who decides.
No, and it is the most widespread misunderstanding. The Écorecharge program calculates the rebate on the price of the charging station alone, which has to be over $600 before taxes. The wiring, the outlet, a panel upgrade and the labour are not eligible expenses. Proof that the station was actually installed is still required. Several sites still show the old split of $350 for the station and $250 for the installation: that one comes from Roulez vert and it is no longer in force.
No, and nobody can. The program administrator decides, not the electrician. What we can do is avoid the mistakes that get a file rejected: equipment that is not on the eligible list, an incomplete invoice, or work started before a mandatory assessment.
No. The component for converting oil or propane central heating ended on March 31, 2026. Applications had to be filed by that date at the latest, and the supporting documents by June 30, 2026. Plenty of web pages still announce it as open.
The deadline. LogisVert gives you nine months after the installation to file the application, and that window slips by once the work is done. One call before starting lines the file up with the program's schedule instead of discovering it too late.
No. VGI Électrique is an independent company that holds an RBQ licence and is a CMEQ member. We work with the public programs and we file the connection requests they call for, but we are not an agent, and we are neither approved nor accredited by Hydro-Québec or by the government.
Often, yes. LogisVert provides a 5% bonus when several measures are carried out together. Each program keeps its own conditions: qualifying for one does not qualify you for the other.

Describe it in a few words, even if it is still just an idea. We assess on site what your installation can take, and you decide from there.
