Heat Pump Rebates Available in BC (2026)
Upgrading to a heat pump is one of the smartest investments a BC homeowner can make — and with rebates from CleanBC, BC Hydro, and the federal government, you could save thousands on your installation. Here’s everything you need to know about the rebates available right now.
CleanBC Better Homes Rebates
The CleanBC Better Homes program offers rebates for homeowners switching to eligible high-efficiency heat pumps. Rebates depend on the type of system and what you’re replacing.
Air-source heat pumps: Up to $6,000 when replacing an existing fossil fuel heating system (oil, propane, or natural gas furnace). Ductless mini splits and ducted systems both qualify, provided they meet minimum efficiency requirements.
Who qualifies: BC homeowners with an existing home (not new construction). You must use a registered contractor — Sasquatch Heat Pumps is a registered CleanBC contractor, so your installation automatically qualifies.
BC Hydro Rebates
BC Hydro offers additional rebates that can be stacked on top of CleanBC incentives. If you’re a BC Hydro customer switching from fossil fuel heating to an electric heat pump, you may qualify for rebates of up to $2,000.
These rebates apply to qualifying air-source heat pumps, including ductless mini splits. Your home must be connected to BC Hydro electricity service.
Canada Greener Homes Grant
The federal government’s Greener Homes initiative provides grants of up to $5,000 for eligible heat pump installations. This program requires a pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide home energy evaluation, but the grant can be combined with provincial rebates for maximum savings.
How Much Can You Save in Total?
By stacking all available rebates, many Victoria and Sooke homeowners save between $8,000 and $13,000 on their heat pump installation. For example, a homeowner replacing an oil furnace with a ducted air-source heat pump could receive up to $6,000 from CleanBC, $2,000 from BC Hydro, and $5,000 from the Greener Homes Grant — a combined savings of up to $13,000.
