YOUR PERSPECTIVE: Supporting British Columbians with energy costs
We know that across B.C., people are struggling with global inflation and rising costs. British Columbians also care deeply about protecting our environment, and they want a government who is focused on the climate alongside affordability efforts.
One way we’re helping is making sure people have affordable options available to make sustainable choices in how they choose to heat and cool their homes, and that includes supporting people to afford heat pump upgrades for their homes.
Last week, we announced we’re refocusing our support for heat pump upgrades to include rebates for people who live in condos and individual suites, including rentals through the CleanBC Energy Savings Program starting soon.
Today, 13% of all B.C. households use heat pumps – up from 7% in 2021 – and many have benefited from our heat pump rebates. All British Columbians deserve to have access to home cooling and heating that is reliable, affordable, and clean.
