Does Batteries Expert handle my grant application?

Our experts advise you on your project and can connect you with a certified contractor. The owner remains responsible for their application; Rénoclimat evaluates its eligibility.

How can we help you prepare your project?

Our in-store experts help you define your needs and choose the equipment to consider for your fixed battery or emergency pump project.

Can I just add a battery to my current pump?

Do not assume that this addition is sufficient. The measure targets a new submersible pump with a battery. Confirm your project before purchasing.

Is it mandatory to hire a contractor?

Yes. The work must be carried out by a contractor holding the appropriate licenses. They must also complete and sign the compliance certificate. Installation by the owner is not eligible.

Are all products sold in stores eligible?

Eligibility depends on the entire project. Confirm the specifications of the equipment and installation before purchasing. Your advisor will help you prepare this validation.

My work is already completed: can I apply?

Work completed before October 1, 2026, is not eligible for the new measures. Work done after this date may be eligible if it meets the program criteria.

Is my cottage or secondary residence eligible for these grants?

Secondary residences, including cottages used occasionally or seasonally, are not eligible for assistance for the addition of a fixed battery or the installation of a submersible pump with a battery.
