Financial Assistance
To be eligible for Rénoclimat financial assistance, you must have had two energy evaluations for your home (before and after renovations) within an 18-month period.
The performed renovations must have improved your home’s EnerGuide rating by 2 points or more. If you are not sure that you will be able to reach this target, please call your advisor, who will explain how you can achieve this goal.
Preferential rates for energy evaluations
The Rénoclimat program offers you the opportunity to receive two energy evaluations for your home at preferential rates. Consult the Energy evaluation section to find out more about these rates and their conditions.
Rénoclimat Financial Assistance Tables
Rénoclimat financial assistance is granted based on the nature of the work carried out and in many cases it is also based on the surface area covered by the work. Amounts are calculated differently according to the form of energy used by the main heating system.
- Homes using an electrical, fuel oil or propane heating system
Specific details for homes using an electrical heating system
For homes using electricity, the financial assistance table applies to Hydro-Québec customers who use D and DT services and customers using independent networks.
However, if you use a dual energy system without a DT rate, you are eligible to receive financial assistance from Rénoclimat under certain conditions. Call an energy efficiency advisor who will be glad to answer any questions you might have.
Specific details for owners wishing to change their heating system
If you are planning to convert your heating system to another form of energy between the first and second Rénoclimat evaluations, please contact your advisor to discuss the repercussions of this conversion on the amount of financial assistance you could receive.

List of non-eligible work for financial assistance
Some renovations do not help you significantly increase the energy performance of your home and are not eligible for financial assistance. Here is the list:
- Installation of electronic thermostats;
- Replacement of air conditioning units;
- Use of water conservation measures;
- Replacement of windows;
- Replacement of doors;
- Use of any other measure that does not improve the energy efficiency of your home.
Carried out individually, this type of work will not help you increase your EnerGuide rating by 2 points or more and therefore not make you eligible to receive financial assistance under the Rénoclimat program.
Owners planning to expand their home should be advised that this type of work is not eligible for Rénoclimat financial assistance and can also reduce the amount of financial assistance calculated based on the surface area of the work.
