To help BC’s economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, many CleanBC rebates are doubled until December 31, 2020. These initiatives will help homeowners save energy and will also help the province meet its new emissions target rate to be 16 per cent below 2007 levels by 2025.

The increased rebates are available for:

• switching from natural gas, propane or oil heating to electricity,
• switching from wood heat to electricity,
• upgrading electric heating,
• upgrading natural gas heating,
• water heating,
• windows and doors, and
• insulation.

To access the CleanBC rebates, homeowners must register for a promo code by December 31, 2020. Then they must purchase eligible equipment and have it installed and invoiced by a licensed contractor by March 31, 2021 and complete the online application. The rebate application will be applied after the application has been reviewed and approved.
