Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHPA)

The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (OHPA) helps low-to-moderate-income households transition from oil heating to heat pumps. The program offers up to $10,000 to cover installation costs, including the removal of the oil heating system and necessary electrical upgrades.

Available Rebate: Up to $10,000 for eligible households.

Requirements:

  • The household must currently use oil as the primary heating source.
  • Income must be below $53,140 (for households of 4 or fewer; higher limits for larger households).
  • Must be the owner and resident of the home.

How to Apply:

  1. Check Eligibility: Ensure you meet the income and heating requirements.
  2. Get an Energy Evaluation: Schedule a pre-retrofit evaluation by an energy advisor.
  3. Install a Mini-split Heat Pump: Use a certified contractor to install the heat pump and remove the oil system.
  4. Post-Installation Evaluation: Complete a post-retrofit evaluation to confirm the upgrade.
  5. Submit Documentation: Apply through the OHPA portal and submit the necessary documents.
