BC heat pump water heater rebate programs
FortisBC heat pump water heater rebate
FortisBC offers a rebate on qualifying heat pump water heaters installed in BC homes — including models like the Rheem ProTerra, A.O. Smith Voltex, and Bradford White AeroTherm. The rebate is designed to encourage homeowners to switch from conventional electric or gas water heaters to higher-efficiency heat pump units, reducing peak demand on BC’s energy grid.
Rebate amounts are set by FortisBC and change periodically. HeatLand confirms the current rebate amount before every installation and provides the documentation needed to complete your rebate claim.
CleanBC Better Homes rebate
The CleanBC Better Homes program offers additional rebates on heat pump water heaters that meet the program’s CEE efficiency tier requirements. These rebates can often be combined with the FortisBC rebate for maximum savings.
How much can I get back?
Rebate amounts vary by program and year. As a general reference:
- FortisBC rebate: historically $500–$1,000 for qualifying heat pump water heaters
- CleanBC rebate: additional amount — confirm current program at the CleanBC Better Homes website
- Combined maximum: BC homeowners have received $1,000–$1,500+ in combined rebates on qualifying installations
Actual rebates depend on your current fuel source, unit model, and current program terms. Call HeatLand to confirm what you qualify for.
