Most BC homeowners don't know what to ask when shopping for installers. You Google, see 5 companies, get quotes, freeze. How do you know which is trustworthy versus someone who ghosts after installation or forgets Peak Saver?
Red flags to watch
1. Can't show HPCN certification (required June 1, 2026): if they can't produce verification, skip them. 2. Don't mention Peak Saver 14-day window: uninformed or not detail-oriented. 3. Want to install Tesla Powerwall: loses you the $5,000 battery rebate. 4. Warranty less than 10 years on workmanship: they don't stand behind it. 5. Pressure to sign today: legitimate installers hold quotes. 6. No local references from last 12 months: suspicious. 7. Can't explain net metering, Peak Saver, or why Tesla doesn't qualify: they don't understand the product.
Why HomePowerRebate is different: we only match you with installers who pass all these checks. One call from one pre-vetted contractor. No guessing.
