Alberta has no provincial heat pump rebate. Homeowners can finance a heat pump through the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) in participating municipalities, and the federal National Heat Pump Rebate (up to $10,000) is expected in early 2027. The federal oil-to-heat-pump grant closed to new applications on July 31, 2026.

CEIP lets participating municipalities finance residential energy upgrades and recover the cost through the property-tax bill[1]. The federal rebate will pay up to $10,000 to households below median income and $2,000 to others, and can be combined with other programs[2]. The federal oil-to-heat-pump program's last day to apply was July 31, 2026[3].
Alberta's cheap natural gas makes the case weakest for gas-heated homes and strongest for homes on electric baseboards, propane or oil. Pairing a heat pump with solar offsets the added electricity use.
