Good Energy Home Rebates

Good Energy is the main Government of Yukon rebate program for residential energy-efficiency improvements.

Eligible products and projects may include:

Home insulation.
Air sealing.
Cold-climate heat pumps.
Efficient heating systems.
ENERGY STAR windows.
Heat-recovery and energy-recovery ventilators.
Solar hot-water systems.
Drain-water heat-recovery equipment.
ENERGY STAR appliances.
Smart thermostats and hot-water tank controllers.

Yukon Heat Pump Rebates

Yukon provides rebates for eligible cold-climate heat pumps designed to operate efficiently during northern winters.

The standard Good Energy heat pump rebate may cover a portion of eligible project costs. The amount depends on the property, equipment and applicable program stream.

A separate rebate of $1,500 may be available when an eligible heat pump is installed in a new home.

Affordable Heat Pump Program

The Affordable Heat Pump Program helps qualifying low- to median-income households install an efficient heat pump.

Household income, property ownership, primary residence and equipment requirements may affect eligibility.

Residents who do not qualify for the income-based program may still be eligible for a standard Good Energy heat pump rebate.

Dependable Grid Program

Yukon introduced the Dependable Grid Program to reduce peak electricity demand and improve heating reliability during winter.

Available incentives may support:

Heat pumps combined with non-electric backup heating.
Secondary oil, propane or wood-heating systems.
Selected water-heating conversions.
Code-compliant electrical transfer switches.
Other improvements that reduce demand during power outages or peak periods.

Eligible Improvement	Potential Rebate
Secondary Non-Electric Heating System	50% of eligible costs, up to $5,000 for an existing home.
Heat Pump With Non-Electric Backup	50% of eligible costs, up to $15,000 for an existing home.
Selected Water-Heating Conversion	50% of eligible costs, up to $1,250.
Electrical Transfer Switch	25% of eligible costs, up to $2,000.

Insulation and Air-Sealing Rebates

Improving insulation and sealing air leaks can reduce heat loss and help lower winter energy consumption.

Eligible improvements may include work completed in:

Attics and ceilings.
Exterior walls.
Basements and crawl spaces.
Foundations and concrete slabs.
Other eligible parts of the building envelope.

A residential energy assessment must generally be completed before beginning insulation renovation work.

ENERGY STAR Window Rebates

Yukon residents replacing older windows may qualify for rebates when installing eligible ENERGY STAR-certified products.

Applicants should confirm product specifications and rebate requirements before ordering or installing the windows.

Heat-Recovery Ventilator Rebates

A heat-recovery ventilator or energy-recovery ventilator can improve indoor air quality while retaining part of the heat that would otherwise be lost through ventilation.

Yukon currently offers a $750 rebate for an eligible HRV or ERV installation.

An additional $750 may be available when the installation requires qualifying dedicated ductwork.

Peak Smart Home Rebates

Households enrolled in Yukon Energy’s Peak Smart Home program may qualify for support when installing an eligible smart thermostat or hot-water tank controller.

The rebate can cover 75% of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $750 per home.

ENERGY STAR Appliance Rebates

Rebates may be available for selected ENERGY STAR-certified household appliances.

Applicants generally need to provide proof that the product is certified and submit the purchase receipt with the application.

Renewable Energy Rebates

Off-grid homes and buildings may qualify for a rebate of up to $5,000 when installing an eligible renewable electricity-generating system.

Potential systems may include:

Solar photovoltaic panels.
Small wind systems.
Other approved renewable energy technologies.

Is Yukon’s Microgeneration Program Open?

New applications to Yukon’s grid-connected microgeneration program are currently paused in all communities.

Existing approved participants may continue to operate under the applicable program rules, but homeowners should not assume that a new grid-connected solar installation can currently enter the program.

Off-grid renewable energy systems may still qualify for the separate renewable energy rebate.

ZeroPath Rebates for New Homes

ZeroPath rebates reward the construction of energy-efficient new homes that meet qualifying energy-consumption targets.

Applicants must generally arrange an assessment of the construction plans and a final assessment after completing the home.

An additional $1,500 may be available when an eligible air-source heat pump is installed.

Do You Need an Energy Assessment?

A residential energy assessment is generally required for:

Insulation renovation rebates.
ZeroPath new-home rebates.

Most other Good Energy rebates do not require a full residential energy assessment.

When an assessment is required, it must normally be completed before construction or renovation begins.

Who May Qualify?

Eligibility varies by program and may depend on:

Whether the property is located in Yukon.
Whether you own or occupy the home.
Your household income for affordability programs.
The home’s existing heating system.
The equipment model and efficiency rating.
Whether installation is completed by a qualified provider.
Whether an energy assessment was completed when required.
Whether you applied before starting the project.

Can Yukon Renters Receive Energy Rebates?

Renters may qualify for selected appliance, smart-control or affordability programs when they meet the applicable requirements.

Permanent upgrades to the building generally require permission from the property owner, and some rebates must be claimed by the homeowner.
