Don't Miss Out Get A Free Heat Pump with a BC Government Grant. Now Also for Middle Income Qualified Residents!
C & S Heating & Cooling is excited to announce the BC Government’s new heat pump grant program, starting June 18th, which can significantly reduce the cost of upgrading your home’s heating system and in many cases cover the entire install. With increased support from the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program and the Low Carbon Economy Fund, income-qualified applicants can now receive up to $16,000 in rebates to switch to high-efficiency heat pumps. Additionally, for homes heated by natural gas or propane, these changes represent a 70% increase in support compared to the previous rebate program.
​
Potential Savings Up to $21,000!
Income-qualified applicants can benefit from a total of up to $21,000 in rebates, covering the cost of heat pump installation, including necessary electrical upgrades. Moreover, successful OHPA applicants transitioning from oil to electric heat pumps will receive an extra one-time payment of $250 from the Government of Canada.
