About the amount
A seasonal rebate toward home heating costs. The 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026 application period has ended; new applications are accepted from 1 October 2026.
What to know
The 2025-26 application period closed on 31 March 2026. Applications for the next heating season open on 1 October 2026, and it takes roughly 8 to 10 weeks to receive the rebate, so applying early in October matters if you need the money for winter heating bills. Paper applications are available at Access Nova Scotia locations.
