HALIFAX, N.S. — Nova Scotia has opened applications for the annual Heating Assistance Rebate Program , offering residents up to $600 to help with the rising cost of home heating.
The rebate program is extended to families with an income of up to $75,000 and single-income households earning up to $55,000, whether they rent or own. To be eligible, people must pay for their own heating, whether the source is oil, electricity, coal, wood, wood pellets, propane or natural gas. Since its inception in 2009, HARP has provided rebates of up to $200 to single-income households earning $29,000 and families with an income of $44,000.Last year, the rebate temporarily increased to $1,000, resulting in 155,800 applicants at a total cost of nearly $156 million.
Additionally, they may benefit from the Your Energy Rebate Program, which will provide Nova Scotians with a total of $131.2 million in rebates this year.
