How it works
There's no rebate form to fill out for this one in Chilliwack: BC Hydro ships an eligible household a smart thermostat outright. The offer is aimed squarely at electric baseboard heat, where a scheduled setback saves the most.
No purchase price, no receipt to submit — the thermostat ships once you're approved.
The offer targets baseboard-heated homes specifically, where scheduling has the biggest impact on the bill.
Who qualifies
- You own or rent a home in Chilliwack that currently heats with electric baseboards
- Your unit doesn't already have a compatible smart thermostat installed
- You're a BC Hydro account holder at the service address
What it doesn't cover
Gas, oil, and heat-pump homes in Chilliwack don't qualify here — a smart thermostat for those systems is a retail purchase, and it still pays off through better scheduling. Renters on baseboard heat usually don't need landlord approval to sign up.
How to claim it
- Confirm electric baseboard heat is what your Chilliwack home uses, then use the free rebate assessment to check your other categories
- Sign up through BC Hydro's electric baseboard thermostat offer
- Install the thermostat yourself, or have your HVAC contractor set it up during another visit
- Set your schedule — lower temperatures overnight and while you're out are where the real savings come from

Common questions
How do I get a free smart thermostat in Chilliwack?
BC Hydro's electric baseboard program gives eligible Chilliwack homes a free smart thermostat, as long as your home currently heats with electric baseboards. BC Hydro ships the thermostat directly once you sign up through their electric baseboard offer — there's no purchase or mail-in receipt required.
Does the Chilliwack smart thermostat offer work if I heat with gas or a heat pump?
No. This particular free-thermostat offer is tied to electric baseboard heating specifically. If you're on gas, oil, or already have a heat pump, a smart thermostat still helps with scheduling and setbacks, but you'd buy one at retail rather than through this program.
