Gradual withdrawal of fuel oil from Quebec homes. Starting December 31, 2023, it will be prohibited to repair or replace an oil heating appliance in an existing building. Owners of small residential buildings will need to switch from fuel oil to renewable energy, such as hydroelectricity, if their appliance requires a major repair.<\/p>\n

The progressive ban on fuel oil for heating residential buildings aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other air pollutants harming the air quality of residential buildings.<\/p>\n

Fuel oil is the most carbon-intensive energy source. It emits up to 100 times more GHGs than hydroelectricity. It is also responsible for almost a quarter of emissions in the residential building sector. In Quebec, oil heating appliances generate approximately 700,000 tonnes of CO\u00a02<\/sub>\u00a0per year, the equivalent of what 205,000 light vehicles emit in one year.<\/p>\n
