Overview

Making sense of HVAC rebates in BC

HVAC rebates in BC come from several places at once: the provincial CleanBC programs, BC Hydro and FortisBC utility offers, top-ups from some municipalities and a handful of federal programs. Each has its own rules, its own list of qualifying equipment and its own deadlines, and they are updated often. It is easy to miss an offer or to install equipment that does not qualify.

Able Pro helps you sort through it. When we quote a heat pump, furnace, boiler or water heater upgrade, we check which current programs your home may qualify for, explain the requirements in plain language and help you prepare and submit the application. We cannot promise approval, since each program makes its own decisions, but we make sure you go in with the right information. The pages below cover each type of rebate in more detail.

What to know

Types of upgrades that may qualify

Eligibility depends on the program, your home and your current fuel, so treat this as a starting point.

01

Heat pumps

Ducted, ductless and cold-climate heat pumps receive the most attention from provincial and federal programs.

02

Dual fuel systems

A heat pump paired with a gas furnace has been eligible for some utility and provincial offers.

03

High-efficiency furnaces

Gas utility programs have at times supported replacing older furnaces with high-efficiency models.

04

Boilers and combi units

Condensing boilers and combination space and water heating units have qualified for some gas utility rebates.

05

Water heaters

Heat pump water heaters and certain high-efficiency gas units may be included in current offers.

06

Condo and apartment units

Some programs have offered dedicated rebates for heat pumps in individual strata suites.

Included

What to have ready before you apply

  • Recent electricity and gas bills with account numbers
  • Your home's address, age and type of dwelling
  • Details of your current heating system and fuel
  • Any home energy evaluation reports you already have
  • Strata approval if you live in a condo or townhouse
  • Your quote showing the proposed equipment model numbers
  • A note of program deadlines and pre-registration rules

Questions

Questions homeowners ask us

Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.

How much can I get in HVAC rebates?

Amounts vary by program, equipment, income level and where you live, and they change often. We confirm the offers that currently apply to your home when we prepare your quote.

Can I combine provincial, utility and municipal rebates?

Some programs have allowed stacking, while others limit it. The rules depend on the specific offers open at the time, and we will explain how they interact for your project.

Do I need to apply before the work is done?

Some programs require pre-registration or a home energy evaluation before installation, while others are claimed afterwards. Checking this early is important, which is why we cover it during the quote.

Is the Canada Greener Homes Grant still available?

No. The Canada Greener Homes Grant has closed to new applicants. Other federal options, such as the Canada Greener Homes Loan and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program, have been offered, and we can help you check their current status.

Can Able Pro promise my rebate will be approved?

No contractor can promise approval, because each program makes its own decisions. What we do is help you meet the requirements and submit complete, accurate paperwork.

Are rebates available for air conditioners?

Standalone central air conditioners rarely qualify. Heat pumps, which provide both heating and cooling, are the focus of most current programs.
