Heat pump incentive programs in Prince Edward Island, with amounts, conditions and what they require if you install it yourself. Data verified October 23, 2026.
As of October 2026, no provincial heat pump program is accepting new applications in PEI; the RHHP loan is also paused. The announced federal rebate therefore becomes the main support.

Criteria to be confirmed · Official site
Provincial programs in Prince Edward Island require installation by a contractor or licensed refrigeration mechanic. With a Kanartic DIY heat pump (pre-charged line sets, quick connectors) you give up those rebates but avoid installation costs: compare the rebate with a local installer’s quote before choosing.
For the announced national rebate, the criteria (including whether a DIY installation qualifies) are due on November 1, 2026. This page will be updated as soon as they are published.

| Summerside | -20 °C | 20,700 BTU/h | Z-PRO 27,000 · 2 zones | $4,675 |
In Charlottetown, with electricity at 17.80 ¢/kWh, this bungalow would save about $1,400 a year versus baseboards and $1,800 versus heating oil.
