Mitsubishi vs Daikin Heat Pump in BC: Rebates
Short answer: The rebate doesn't depend on the brand. A Mitsubishi or Daikin model gets the same BC Hydro rebate (up to $4,000 from electric heat) or CleanBC amount if that exact model is on the eligible list and properly sized. Choose on the model's cold-weather output, the installer's experience and local service, not the logo.
Rebates are the same for both
- BC Hydro: up to $4,000 whole home / $1,500 partial, replacing electric heat. The model must be on BC Hydro's list: variable-speed, AHRI number, HSPF2 8.5+, SEER2 15.2+.
- CleanBC (income-qualified): up to $13,000 / $7,000 / $3,500 from gas, oil or propane.
- FortisBC areas: up to $4,000; must be NEEP cold-climate certified for whole home.
What to compare between two quotes
- Heating output at cold temperatures (look up the exact model on the NEEP cold-climate list).
- Sizing: did the installer do a heat load calculation?
- Warranty and who does service locally.
- Total price for the same scope.

- Get quotes from qualified contractors and apply on time.
