Quebec Bans new or replacement fossil fuel heating systems


As of 2023, new or replacement heating systems powered by fossil fuels banned

As of Dec. 31, oil-powered heating is banned in all new construction projects across Quebec, part of the province’s push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In two years, Quebec will go a step further by making it illegal to replace existing oil furnaces with any sort of heating system powered by fossil fuels after Dec. 31, 2023,

The new rules were laid out in a ministerial decree on oil and gas heating passed in late November. 

The new decree also bans the repair of heating systems running on fuel that are more than 20-years-old and oil-powered water heaters that are more than 10-years-old.
