FAQ

Better Homes Rebate Questions

Who qualifies for the Better Homes standard rebate?

Any BC homeowner switching from electric resistance heating (baseboard heaters, electric furnace, or radiant heat) to a qualifying air source heat pump. No income verification is required. Your home must have its own electricity meter and you must use an HPCN-registered contractor like Grove Mechanical.

How much is the standard heat pump rebate?

The CleanBC Better Homes program offers up to $4,000 for a qualifying air source heat pump installation. This is for homes switching from electric heating. BC Hydro customers may be eligible for an additional $4,000 rebate that can be stacked on top, for a potential total of $8,000.

Can I stack the Better Homes rebate with BC Hydro?

Yes. BC Hydro offers a separate rebate of up to $4,000 for whole-home heat pump installations (variable-speed compressor + AHRI certification required). This can be combined with the CleanBC Better Homes rebate for a total of up to $8,000 in standard rebates — no income requirement.

Do I need to pre-register before installation?

For the standard Better Homes program, you do not need to pre-register. However, you must apply within 6 months of installation. For the income-qualified Energy Savings Program, pre-registration is required before any work begins.

What contractor requirements are there?

Your contractor must be registered with the Heat Pump Contractor Network (HPCN) through HomePerformance.ca. Grove Mechanical is a registered HPCN contractor, so all our heat pump installations automatically qualify.

Does Grove Mechanical handle the rebate paperwork?

Yes — we handle 100% of the rebate application process. After installation, we complete all forms, gather required documentation, and submit everything on your behalf. You just wait for the rebate cheque.
