Learn About Heat pump Rebates bc
Improving your home's energy efficiency is key to both saving money and supporting the environment. Heat pumps are a standout choice for this, offering significant energy savings by efficiently heating and cooling homes. The initial investment can be offset by various BC rebate programs, including CleanBC Better Homes and Home Renovation Rebate and the Income Qualified Program, which help make the transition more affordable. With these incentives, homeowners can enjoy the dual benefits of lower energy bills and enhanced indoor comfort, all while making a positive environmental impact. Action Heat Pumps is ready to guide homeowners through the rebate process, ensuring they benefit fully from these opportunities.
Below are some of the current Heat Pump Rebate programs available in our area:
1. CleanBC Better Homes and Home Renovation Rebate Program
This program offers up to $6,000 in rebates for B.C. residents who improve their home's energy efficiency through specific upgrades, including heat pumps, insulation, windows/doors, and more. Eligible homes must be the primary residence, at least 12 months old, and must meet other specific criteria based on heating type and property type. Rebates cover a range of upgrades, from ductless mini-split heat pumps to air-to-water heat pumps and even building envelope upgrades like insulation and windows/doors, with varying rebate amounts up to $6,000. The program is funded by the Province of British Columbia, BC Hydro, and FortisBC, and applications must be submitted within 6 months of the invoice date.
2. Carrier® Cool Cash Program
Carrier typically offers seasonal promotions that provide significant rebates on qualifying heating and cooling systems. It's recommended to check directly with Carrier or a Carrier dealer for the most current information on the Cool Cash program.
3. CleanBC Income Qualified Program
This is designed for B.C. homeowners with a total household income under a certain threshold, offering enhanced rebates for energy-saving home upgrades. Pre-registration is required, and the program covers heat pumps, insulation, windows/doors, heat pump water heaters, and necessary upgrades for health and safety, ventilation, and electrical panels. Free energy coaching and virtual energy assessments are also available to help identify suitable upgrades and rebates.
For anyone looking to take advantage of these rebates, it's essential to ensure all work is completed by a licensed contractor with a valid B.C. business license.
