How to Stack BC Rebates in 2026: Real Example
Short answer: You can stack rebates that cover different upgrades: for example, BC Hydro solar (up to $5,000), battery with Peak Saver (up to $5,000), a heat pump replacing electric heat (up to $4,000) and insulation (by area, e.g. up to $900 for the attic). The federal Greener Homes Grant is closed. You can't claim two rebates for the same heat pump.
A worked example (BC Hydro, electric baseboards)
| Upgrade | Rebate | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-home heat pump | Up to $4,000 (+ up to $1,000 if done by Oct 31, 2026) | Replaces electric heat; HPCN |
| Attic insulation, 1,000 sq. ft., +R40 | $800 | $0.02 x R x sq. ft., max $900 |
| Multi-upgrade bonus | Up to $2,000 | More than one upgrade |
| Solar, 5 kW | $5,000 | $1,000/kW, max 50% of cost |
| Battery, 10 kWh + Peak Saver | $5,000 | Enroll within 14 days |
Your amounts depend on your home and quotes. A gas-heated home would not get the BC Hydro heat pump rebate; it would need to qualify by income for CleanBC.
