How it works
From 2018 the City of Vancouver added a top-up, most recently up to $4,000, to provincial heat pump rebates for single-family homes and duplexes that replaced fossil-fuel heating with an all-electric air source heat pump.
In 2023 the City ended the single-family heat pump top-up, made a final payment to cover applications already in the queue, and shifted its incentives toward multi-family buildings. The City does not process heat pump rebate applications itself and refers homeowners to a CleanBC Better Homes Energy Coach.
