Quebec phases out residential oil-fired heating |
The Quebec government is banning the installation of oil-fired heating systems in all new construction projects as of December 31, 2021.
In addition, installing an oil furnace or replacing one with a fossil fuel furnace will be prohibited by December 31, 2023. Repairing an oil-fuelled heating system more than 20 years old, or an oil-fuelled water heater over 10 years old will also be banned. The province says these measures will help it reach its target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heating buildings by 50 per cent by 2030.
According to the Montreal Gazette, almost 200,000 households in Quebec use oil-fuelled heating systems.
Quebec’s 2030 Plan for a Green Economy: Framework policy on electrification and the fight against climate change outlines how the province will replace fossil fuels with clean electricity without significant price increases “We need to electrify our transportation, our buildings, and our businesses,” says Premier François Legault. “The resulting benefits will be significant for everyone. Every Quebecer will be saving thousands of dollars. We also need to make better use of energy and exploit the full potential of bioenergies. Along with the electrification of the economy, energy efficiency and other sources of renewable energy (like green hydrogen) can also generate wealth and productivity for our province.”
