FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL REBATES
Currently heated primarily by an electric system?
There is up to $7,000 in combined rebates you could be eligible for to replace your current electric heating system with a heat pump. BC Hydro is offering up to $2,000 and the federal government’s Canada Greener Homes grant is offering up to $5,000.
