British Columbia homeowners can receive thousands of dollars in rebates for upgrading their homes with energy-efficient products such as heat pumps, windows, insulation, and water heaters.
Depending on your household income and project type, rebates may reach up to $24,000 through the CleanBC Energy Savings Program.
What Is the CleanBC Rebate Program?
The CleanBC rebate program helps BC homeowners improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs by offering rebates for:
- Heat pumps
- Energy-efficient windows and doors
- Insulation upgrades
- Heat pump water heaters
- Electrical upgrades
How Much Can You Get?
| Upgrade Type | Potential Rebate |
|---|---|
| Heat Pump | Up to $24,000 |
| Windows & Doors | Up to $9,500 |
| Insulation | Up to $5,500 |

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Before starting your project, determine which rebate stream you qualify for.
- Household income
- Current heating system
- Property eligibility
- Utility provider
- Type of upgrade
Step 2: Pre-Register Before Starting Work
This is one of the most important steps in the rebate process.
Once approved, you will receive an eligibility code typically valid for 6 months.
Step 3: Choose an Approved Contractor
Many rebate programs require homeowners to use approved contractors, especially for heat pump installations.
- Verify contractor registration
- Confirm rebate eligibility
- Request AHRI-certified equipment numbers
Step 4: Confirm Eligible Products
Not every product qualifies for rebates. Always confirm eligibility before purchasing.
Triple-pane windows and high-efficiency heat pumps generally provide the best energy savings and rebate opportunities.
Step 5: Complete Installation
After approval, your contractor will complete installation and provide documentation required for rebate submission.
- Invoices
- Product specifications
- Manufacturer labels
- Installation records
- AHRI numbers
Step 6: Submit Your Rebate Application
Most applications must be submitted within 6 months of the invoice date.
Processing time is typically 6–8 weeks depending on the program.
Common Mistakes That Can Cancel Your Rebate
- Starting work before approval
- Using non-approved contractors
- Missing application deadlines
- Installing non-qualified products
- Missing documentation
Are Window Rebates Available in BC?
Yes. Income-qualified homeowners may receive rebates for energy-efficient windows and doors through eligible CleanBC programs.
Triple-pane windows and thermal break systems can improve insulation, reduce noise, and lower heating costs during Canadian winters.
