Is Vancouver eligible for Heat Pump rebate?

Answer: Yes, if BC Hydro is your electric utility and you're replacing electric heat: up to $4,000 for a whole-home heat pump or $1,500 for a partial one, plus a bonus of up to $1,000 for installs done Aug 1 to Oct 31, 2026. Income-qualified CleanBC rebates can be higher.

The Details

Vancouver homes get power from BC Hydro and most heat with natural gas or electric baseboards. If you heat with gas, the BC Hydro rebate doesn't apply, so check CleanBC's income-qualified rebates. Many Vancouver homes are condos or townhomes, which have their own rules; see Vancouver heat pump rebates. Source, checked September 26, 2026: BC Hydro heat pump rebates.

The exact rebate amount depends on your home's specifics—system size, efficiency ratings, your utility, and income eligibility in some programs.
