Check to see if your home qualifies for the CleanBC / BC Hydro Rebates.
The CleanBC Better Homes and Home Renovation Rebate Program is currently offering rebates to assist homeowners to install heat pumps to replace heating systems such as electric furnaces and fossil fuel-burning furnaces, i.e. furnaces that run on natural gas, propane, or oil.
Heat pumps are an excellent electric-powered alternative for heating that work at superior energy efficiency compared to most conventional systems. Heat pumps also function as cooling systems. Customers have the option to install heat pumps as multi-split systems similar to conventional central air conditioners, or as ductless mini splits.
BC Hydro provides energy efficient upgrade rebates in the Home Renovation Rebate program to customers who have high bills from heating their homes with electric heat. Rebate eligible upgrades include insulation, heat pumps, windows and doors. Heat pump water heaters are exempt from the minimum electricity consumption requirement.
Homes heated by electricity use electric baseboards, heat pumps or electric furnaces to heat their home. Using a natural gas fireplace or wood heating will reduce a home’s electricity consumption.
Eligible electrically heated homes must be a primary residence that is 12 months or older, include single family dwelling, duplex, row home or townhouses and mobile homes on permanent foundations. Apartments and condos are not eligible for rebates.

Everyone deserves a healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient home. Based on your household income, the CleanBC Energy Savings Program offers enhanced rebates to make energy-saving home upgrades more affordable.

Canada’s cold climate means that space heating accounts for over 60% of the energy used in the average Canadian home. Make the switch to more energy-efficient heating equipment such as a heat pump to save energy and possibly reduce your utility bills and carbon footprint. Keep in mind that the cost of energy to operate a product over its lifetime is just as important as its purchase price.
