What Paradise homes look like
The 2021 Census counted 8,810 households in Paradise. Only about 10% of homes were built before 1981, compared with about 50% across the province. About 52% were built from 2006 to 2021, and about 31% from 2011 to 2021. About 78% of households own their home, and about 32% live in a unit of a duplex.

The 2014 rule
The takeCHARGE insulation rebate (75% of the cost, up to $3,000 with labour) and the air sealing rebate for homes replacing attic insulation only apply to homes built and connected before January 1, 2014. In Paradise that rules out a real share of homes, roughly the ones built in the last decade. Check your build date before you plan an insulation job around a rebate.
Newer homes were also built to tighter codes, so the attic is less likely to need a top-up anyway. The better money for a new home is usually elsewhere.
What works for a newer home
- HRV rebate, $225: any home and any heat source, for an eligible high-efficiency model installed by an HRAI certified installer. Tight new homes need good ventilation, and many older HRVs from the 2000s are due for replacement.
- Air sealing for existing homes, $200 to $750: this pathway has no build-year rule on the takeCHARGE page, but it needs electric heat, an HRV and before and after blower door tests showing at least a 10% improvement.
- Duct insulation, up to $500: if your main heat is an electric furnace or ducted heat pump.
If your home has oil heat
Fewer Paradise homes are old enough to have started on oil, but some do. If yours does, Oil to Electric pays up to $22,000 for a central heat pump if your household is income-qualified, or up to $9,000 if not. Note one rule: new homes are not eligible, and an oil tank installed since January 1, 2025 gets extra review.
Lower income?
The TakeCharge Greener Homes Program can pay for heat pumps, HRVs, insulation and air sealing at no cost for income-qualified homeowners, after a home energy assessment. It is separate from the old federal Canada Greener Homes Grant, which has ended.

Common questions
Can I get the insulation rebate for a house built in 2016?
No. The takeCHARGE insulation rebate needs a home built and connected before January 1, 2014.
What rebate can a new Paradise home get?
The $225 HRV rebate works for any home and any heat source. Electric homes can also try the air sealing rebate ($200 to $750) with blower door tests.
Can I get a heat pump rebate in Paradise?
Only if you are switching from oil or propane, through Oil to Electric. We found no takeCHARGE heat pump rebate for homes already on electric heat.
Does the Town of Paradise have its own rebate?
We found no Town of Paradise home energy rebate.
