Yukon reopens Affordable Heat Pump Program

The Government of Canada and the Government of Yukon are increasing funding by $6.3 million to reopen the Affordable Heat Pump Program that was fully subscribed in less than two weeks.

The announcement more than triples the funding for a program to help Yukon homeowners transition to heat pump systems.

The Government of Canada is investing an additional $4.3 million, while the Government of Yukon is investing more than $2 million.

The Yukon’s Affordable Heat Pump Program was first launched in December 2024. As part of the program, low- to median-income Yukon homeowners are eligible for a rebate of up to $24,000 to install a high-efficiency heat pump, and Yukoners with oil-heated homes eligible to receive an additional upfront payment of $250 for a heat pump.

The initial uptake was fast, as the program was fully subscribed with 84 applications in the first three weeks.
