CleanBC 2026 Updates

CleanBC continues to offer $2,000-6,000 for qualifying heat pump installations in 2026. Key updates: income-qualified households may now receive enhanced top-up rebates of $1,000-2,000, and the program now includes ductless mini-split installations more explicitly. Pre-approval is still recommended before installation.

Stacking Incentives

Maximum savings come from stacking: CleanBC rebate ($2,000-6,000), Canada Greener Homes Loan ($0 for 10 years), municipal top-ups (some municipalities offer additional incentives), and FortisBC dual-fuel rebates if keeping a gas furnace. Total combined value can reach $8,000-12,000.

Application Process

Step 1: Get a pre-approval from CleanBC (recommended). Step 2: Choose a licensed contractor. Step 3: Install the heat pump. Step 4: Your contractor submits the rebate application with proof of installation. Step 5: Receive rebate within 4-8 weeks. Keep all documentation including the energy assessment report.
