Common questions
Is there a CleanBC heat pump rebate if I don't qualify by income?
The Energy Savings Program is income-qualified. If you heat with electricity, BC Hydro's rebate of up to $4,000 doesn't have an income test.
Can I get $16,000 from CleanBC?
Only at income level 1 in northern BC: $13,000 plus the $3,000 northern top-up. Most homes get less.
