HOW MUCH CAN YOU GET?
The Core BC Rebates
The federal Greener Homes grants have closed, but British Columbia has stepped up with the most generous provincial funding in the country. Your primary source of savings will come through the CleanBC Better Homes initiatives and BC Hydro programs.
Standard Households
For the majority of BC homeowners upgrading from fossil fuels (like natural gas, oil, or propane) to an electric heat pump, the standard Home Renovation Rebate Program offers substantial savings as outlined in the table above.
Income-Qualified Households
If your household meets specific income thresholds, the CleanBC Energy Savings Program (ESP) provides life-changing funding. For eligible low to middle income families, this program covers up to 100% of the equipment and installation costs (up to $19,000) to completely remove your reliance on fossil fuels.
STACK YOUR SAVINGS
Municipal Top-Ups
Depending on where you live in the Lower Mainland, you might be eligible for even more money. Many local governments offer "Municipal Top-Ups" that stack directly on top of your CleanBC rebates.
City of Vancouver
Offers massive top-ups (up to $6,000 in some scenarios) for pure electrification projects that permanently cap and remove fossil fuel connections.
North Shore & Other Municipalities
Cities like North Vancouver and West Vancouver frequently offer additional $300 to $2,000 top-ups to encourage fast adoption of heat pump technology. 2,000 in additional incentives.
Important Note
Municipal budgets are limited and operate on a first come, first served basis. Act quickly to secure your local top-up.
Don’t Forget the Hidden Costs ELECTRICAL UPGRADE REBATES
Switching from a gas furnace to a high-power electric heat pump often requires an upgrade to your home's electrical panel (e.g., upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service). The government recognizes this hurdle and provides specific funding to cover it.
Electrical Service Upgrade Rebate:
You can receive up to $5,000 specifically to cover the costs of upgrading your electrical panel when paired with a qualified heat pump installation under the ESP program (or up to $500 for standard households).
