Yes. CleanBC and BC Hydro offer rebates for switching from gas or baseboard heating to a heat pump, and combined amounts can reach five figures depending on your current system and income tier. Rebate programs change through the year, so we confirm the current amounts and handle the paperwork for you.

Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps heat efficiently well below any temperature Vancouver reaches, and they also provide summer cooling, which most Vancouver homes lack. They are currently the most in-demand mechanical upgrade in BC home renovations, driven by comfort, operating cost, and the move away from gas.

The BC Energy Step Code is the provincial standard that sets energy-performance requirements for construction, and it increasingly shapes major renovations. In Vancouver, renovation projects over $150,000 also require a Renovation Energy Upgrade Proposal (REUP) identifying energy improvements. We build Step Code and REUP compliance into project plans from the start.

Air sealing and insulation first, then a heat pump, then windows. That order maximizes comfort and bill savings per dollar because a well-sealed home needs a smaller, cheaper heat pump. Rebates apply at each stage, and upgrades done during a larger renovation cost less than standalone retrofits.

Yes. Suite conversions and laneway builds already involve open walls, electrical work, and permits, which is the cheapest moment to add insulation, air sealing, and heat pump systems. It also helps larger projects meet REUP requirements in Vancouver, and tenants pay a premium for homes with cooling.

Yes. Moving from gas or electric baseboard heating to a properly sized heat pump, combined with insulation and air sealing, typically cuts heating energy use substantially and adds low-cost summer cooling. Exact savings depend on your home's current condition, which we estimate during the energy assessment.
