Overview
Understanding provincial heating rebates in BC
Provincial heating rebates in BC are delivered under the CleanBC banner, mainly through the Better Homes programs run with BC Hydro and FortisBC. Their main goal is to help homes move from fossil fuel heating, like gas or oil, to efficient electric heat pumps, and to improve the homes themselves with upgrades such as insulation. Income-qualified streams have offered enhanced support for households under set income limits.
Provincial programs have specific rules on equipment efficiency, home type, existing heating fuel and paperwork, and they are revised from time to time. Some offers also stack with municipal top-ups or federal support. Able Pro confirms the current provincial offers for your home during the quote, explains what you need to do before work begins and helps you complete the application. Each program makes its own approval decisions.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
What is CleanBC Better Homes?
It is the provincial program that offers rebates and information for home energy upgrades, including heat pumps, delivered with BC Hydro and FortisBC. Offers and rules are updated regularly.
Do provincial rebates cover gas furnaces?
Provincial programs focus on heat pumps and electric efficiency rather than gas-only equipment. Gas incentives, when available, usually come from FortisBC.
Can I get a provincial rebate if I already have a heat pump?
It depends on the program and what you are replacing. Upgrading an older heat pump may or may not qualify, so we check the current rules for your situation.
Are provincial rebates higher for lower-income households?
CleanBC has offered income-qualified streams with enhanced support. We help you see whether your household may qualify.
Can provincial rebates be combined with other programs?
Some provincial offers have stacked with municipal top-ups and certain federal programs. The rules vary, and we explain how they work for your project.
