Heat pump rebates in B.C.: what Delta and Lower Mainland homes can claim in 2026

Heat pump rebates in B.C. are real, but they are narrower than a lot of advertising still suggests. Amounts depend on how your home is heated and sometimes on income, and several offers only apply if the installer is on a specific contractor network.

This is a plain-language snapshot for Delta (including Ladner, Tsawwassen, and North Delta) and Lower Mainland homeowners, not the official rulebook. Confirm details on the official program websites before you budget a rebate.

Blueshore Mechanical is based at 4586 62 St in Delta, founded in June 2019. We will walk through rebate rules as they apply to your house. Estimates are free. Call (604) 728-2583 or request a free estimate.

An important note about Blueshore and HPCN

Blueshore Mechanical is not currently a member of the Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN). We are working towards registration.

BC Hydro and FortisBC heat pump and dual-fuel rebates require an HPCN-registered contractor — and, for dual-fuel, a Technical Safety BC licensed gas contractor who is listed on the HPCN for that rebate — at the time of installation. The income-qualified CleanBC Energy Savings Program also requires an Energy Savings Program registered contractor; for heat pump work, those registered contractors must be HPCN members.

What that means today: a heat pump or dual-fuel system we install before we are accepted into the HPCN should not be treated as eligible for those BC Hydro, FortisBC, or CleanBC ESP rebates. We will not write a quote that assumes otherwise. We can still visit, explain the programs, and be honest about timing. Official directories: Find a Contractor and Better Homes. Trade Ally membership is separate from HPCN and does not replace it.

What is closed: Canada Greener Homes

The Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed. 31 December 2025 was the final day to upload documents, and payment requests are no longer accepted. We do not treat the grant as an option for a new Lower Mainland retrofit.

Electrically heated homes: BC Hydro and matching utility rebates

If your home is primarily heated with electricity — for example electric baseboards or an electric furnace — and you have a residential account with BC Hydro or another eligible utility, the Home Renovation Rebate program still offers:

Up to $4,000 for a qualifying whole-home heat pump (the heat pump must meet the program’s whole-home heating requirement).
$1,500 for a qualifying partial-home system (the heat pump must meet the program’s partial-home requirement).

The heat pump must replace a primary all-electric heating system. Replacing an existing heat pump, or adding a head to one, is not eligible, and neither is emergency replacement of a broken electrical system. The installer generally must be an HPCN member. These are official program maxima, not an installation price. See Heat pumps and Heat pump installation in Delta for how we approach the work itself.

Gas-heated homes in the Lower Mainland

The standard CleanBC any-income rebate for switching a typical home from natural gas, oil, or propane to an all-electric heat pump ended on 11 April 2025 for homes outside the northern region (north of and including 100 Mile House). Those northern offers do not apply to a typical house in Delta, Surrey, Richmond, or Vancouver.

For many gas-heated homes in Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta, and the rest of Metro Vancouver, the remaining paths are usually the income-qualified CleanBC Energy Savings Program, a FortisBC dual-fuel system if you meet that program’s rules, or paying for the install without a standard any-income fuel-switch rebate. ### CleanBC Energy Savings Program (income-qualified)

This program is still open. For eligible ground-oriented homes, official heat pump rebates go up to $13,000, depending on income level, household size, system type, and other rules. You pre-register, receive a code (valid for three months), and must use an Energy Savings Program registered contractor, who typically receives the rebate while you pay the balance. Blueshore is not an ESP registered heat pump contractor at this time, because we are not yet on the HPCN. Check income and property rules on the official program page.

FortisBC dual-fuel heating system rebate

Eligible FortisBC gas (or piped-propane) customers can receive up to $4,000 for a qualifying dual-fuel system, or up to $8,000 if income-qualified. In outline, the standard offer is a new central ducted air-source heat pump with a new high-efficiency (95% or higher) gas furnace, replacing an existing primary gas furnace that is at least 15 years old. The system must be on the qualified list, commissioned, and set so the Lower Mainland changeover is 5°C or lower. The rebate applies to installations completed on or after 15 October 2026, cannot be combined with other FortisBC, provincial, or federal-funded rebate programs, and requires a Technical Safety BC licensed gas contractor who is an HPCN member listed for that rebate at install time.

See Furnace replacement in Delta if you want to compare a dual-fuel system. Until Blueshore is HPCN-registered, we cannot install it as a rebate-eligible job.

How to think about timing and next steps

If a rebate is not part of your decision, we can quote and schedule Heat pumps or Furnace replacement in Delta work in the ordinary way, with a free written estimate.

If a rebate is part of your budget, tell us at the start. We will outline which program might fit and be clear that, today, Blueshore cannot be the rebate-eligible installer for HPCN-required offers. You can wait until our application is complete, or use the official contractor directories. A Better Homes energy coach can be reached at 1-844-881-9790.

If you heat with a boiler and are not changing to a heat pump, these programs generally do not apply to a like-for-like swap. See Boiler replacement in Delta.

Common questions

Is the Canada Greener Homes Grant still available?

No. The grant is closed. 31 December 2025 was the final day to upload documents, and payment requests are no longer accepted.

I have a gas furnace in Delta. What heat pump rebate can I get?

There is no standard any-income CleanBC rebate left for a typical Lower Mainland gas home switching fully off gas. Many homes now look at the income-qualified CleanBC Energy Savings Program, or a FortisBC dual-fuel system, if they meet the rules.

If I hire Blueshore today, can I claim a BC Hydro or FortisBC heat pump rebate?

No. Those offers require an HPCN-registered contractor, and Blueshore is not yet a member.

What is the Home Performance Contractor Network, and why does it matter?

It is the contractor network used for many B.C. heat pump and dual-fuel rebates. The installer generally must be a member when the work is done. See homeperformance.ca.

What is the CleanBC Energy Savings Program?

An income-qualified program with heat pump rebates of up to $13,000 for eligible ground-oriented homes. You pre-register and must use a registered contractor. Blueshore is not one at this time.

Can I stack several heat pump rebates together?

Usually not. The FortisBC dual-fuel rebate cannot be combined with other FortisBC, provincial, or federal-funded programs. We will not quote a stacked total that mixes closed or incompatible offers.
