1) In Manitoba, if replacing a geothermal heat pump, can an individual receive both the Manitoba Government Green Energy Equipment Tax Credit, as well as, the Canada Greener Homes Grant?
2) Why doesn’t the Efficiency Manitoba Heat Pump Incentive Program provide support for homes that are replacing a geothermal heat pump? This would encourage homeowners with the upfront costs to stay with an energy efficient heating / cooling system … as opposed to switching to an electric furnace.
