What is the NB OHPA Program?
The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program is a joint federal-provincial initiative delivered through SaveEnergyNB. Its singular goal is to help New Brunswick homeowners permanently remove their expensive, carbon-heavy oil furnaces and replace them with ultra-efficient cold-climate heat pumps.
Because the upfront cost of fuel switching is high, the program provides major financial incentives depending on your household income bracket:
Total Home Energy Savings
- Access up to $15,000 in stacked advance funding.
- Requires an initial home energy evaluation.
- Must register before installing equipment.
Enhanced Energy Savings (EESP)
- Systems installed at virtually no cost.
- Includes necessary panel upgrades.
- Streamlined application directly through NB Power.
Why the Urgency?
The critical deadline for the OHPA program is June 30, 2026. You must be fully registered in the program by this date.
However, because the program requires a mandatory pre-retrofit energy assessment from a certified energy advisor before any work begins, you cannot simply wait until June to apply. Energy advisor waitlists and HVAC contractor booking schedules mean you should initiate this process months in advance. Once registered, all installations and the final post-retrofit evaluation must be done by March 31, 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Atlantic Canadian homeowners ask us most about energy upgrades, rebates, and how we work.
Registration for the OHPA program in New Brunswick officially closes on June 30, 2026. Because an initial energy evaluation is required before any installation begins, homeowners must act well before this date to secure funding.
For households with an income over $70,000, you can receive up to $15,000 in advance funding toward a new heat pump, electrical upgrades, and the safe removal of your oil tank. For households earning $70,000 or under, you may qualify to have the system installed at virtually no cost under the Enhanced Energy Savings Program (EESP).
No. If you are applying through the Total Home Energy Savings Program stream (households >$70k), you must complete a mandatory home energy evaluation and be registered before you purchase equipment or begin installation.
