Dual fuel
| Combined with dual fuel | Terms |
|---|---|
| Secondary non-electric heat, up to 50% / $5,000 existing or $3,000 new | Allowed. The secondary system can be the backup dual fuel requires. |
| Transfer switch, 25% up to $2,000 existing or $2,000 new | Allowed. |
| Primary non-electric heat | Not allowed. |
| Good Energy heat pump rebate, or any other heat pump rebate | Not allowed. |
| Affordable Heat Pump Program | Not allowed. The AHPP chapter repeats the bar. |
Source for every row: September 3, 2026 terms. One rebate of each allowed type per building.
If you are not in dual fuel
- Good Energy’s $10,500 heat pump rebate is the path that keeps a non-electric backup, or enrolls electric backup in Peak Smart. It is smaller than dual fuel’s cap and it is a different set of rules. You do not file both.
- AHPP is up to $24,000 and requires pre-approval. People who already received federal OHPA funding are ineligible. OHPA closed to new applications on July 31, 2026, so this bar matters for households that got in before the deadline and now look at the territorial top-up.
- Primary non-electric heat, up to $15,000, is for leaving electric heat entirely. It can combine with a transfer switch. It cannot combine with dual fuel, with the secondary-heat rebate, or with other wood-heat rebates.
- Non-electric hot water, 50 percent up to $1,250 existing or a flat $1,250 new, is its own rebate. The terms reviewed here do not list it as forbidden alongside dual fuel. They also do not list it as a bonus that is automatic. One per building, propane or oil equipment, not a heat-pump water heater.
Other Yukon offers are not a second heat pump cheque
The buildings page also lists wood heat, insulation, air sealing, windows, a heat-recovery ventilator, ZeroPath, Peak Smart devices, solar hot water, appliances, and drain-water heat recovery. Those are separate offers. This page does not treat them as money you add on top of Dependable Grid, Good Energy, or AHPP unless a sentence in the terms says the combination is allowed. Terms
