Stacking

How to Stack BC Rebates in 2026: Real Example

By Sam Menard · Updated September 26, 2026

Short answer: You can stack rebates that cover different upgrades: for example, BC Hydro solar (up to $5,000), battery with Peak Saver (up to $5,000), a heat pump replacing electric heat (up to $4,000) and insulation (by area, e.g. up to $900 for the attic). The federal Greener Homes Grant is closed. You can't claim two rebates for the same heat pump.

A worked example (BC Hydro, electric baseboards)

UpgradeRebateRule
Whole-home heat pumpUp to $4,000 (+ up to $1,000 if done by Oct 31, 2026)Replaces electric heat; HPCN
Attic insulation, 1,000 sq. ft., +R40$800$0.02 x R x sq. ft., max $900
Multi-upgrade bonusUp to $2,000More than one upgrade
Solar, 5 kW$5,000$1,000/kW, max 50% of cost
Battery, 10 kWh + Peak Saver$5,000Enroll within 14 days

Your amounts depend on your home and quotes. A gas-heated home would not get the BC Hydro heat pump rebate; it would need to qualify by income for CleanBC.
