Overview
Where Canada Greener Homes rebates stand
For a few years, the Canada Greener Homes Grant was the best-known federal home energy incentive. That grant has now closed to new applicants, so if you are searching for Canada Greener Homes rebates today, it is important to know what has changed. The federal government also launched the Canada Greener Homes Loan, an interest-free loan for retrofits, and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program for households switching from oil heat. The status and terms of these programs have changed over time.
In BC, provincial CleanBC programs, BC Hydro, FortisBC and some municipalities run their own incentives, and these are often where most current support comes from. Able Pro keeps track of what is open, confirms the options for your home during the quote and helps you with the application. We cannot promise approval, and amounts and eligibility can change at short notice.
Federal and provincial options to look at
Not every program will be open or apply to your home, so we confirm each one with you.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Can I still apply for the Canada Greener Homes Grant?
No. The Canada Greener Homes Grant has closed to new applicants. If you applied earlier, follow the instructions from the program for your existing file.
Is the Canada Greener Homes Loan still available?
Its status and intake have changed over time. We check the current situation for you during the quote, and you can also confirm with Natural Resources Canada directly.
What replaced the federal grant for BC homeowners?
Nothing replaced it one-for-one. In BC, most current support comes from CleanBC programs, utility offers and some municipal top-ups, plus federal programs like the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program for oil-heated homes.
Do I still need an EnerGuide evaluation?
Some programs require an energy evaluation before and after the work, while others do not. We tell you which apply to your project before installation.
How much support can I expect?
It depends on the programs open at the time, your home and sometimes your income. We confirm current amounts with you rather than quoting figures that may be outdated.
