What HVAC rebates are available in Nanaimo and on Vancouver Island?
Homeowners in Nanaimo and across Mid Vancouver Island may qualify for rebates through CleanBC Better Homes, BC Hydro, and FortisBC. These can include rebates for qualifying heat pumps, high-efficiency furnaces, smart thermostats, and home energy evaluations. Programs change regularly, so we confirm current eligibility for your specific home before you commit.
How much can I get back in heat pump rebates?
Rebate amounts vary based on the system you install, what you're replacing, your household income, and which programs you combine. Fuel-switching upgrades (for example, replacing oil or electric baseboard heat with a heat pump) often qualify for the largest rebates. We'll give you a realistic estimate of what you can expect for your project.
Do you handle the rebate paperwork for me?
Yes. We confirm which rebates your system qualifies for, provide all the model and efficiency documentation required, help with the application forms, and coordinate with evaluators and program administrators. Our goal is maximum savings with minimal paperwork hassle for you.
Do I need a home energy evaluation to qualify for rebates?
Some programs require a pre- and post-upgrade EnerGuide home energy evaluation, while others (such as certain income-qualified programs) may not. We'll tell you exactly what's needed for the rebates you're pursuing and help you arrange an evaluation if one is required.
Can I combine rebates with financing?
Absolutely. Many homeowners combine available rebates with flexible monthly financing through Financeit to make an upgrade affordable up front and over time. We'll help you calculate the combined savings so you can make an informed decision.
Are rebate programs still available in 2026?
