Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are rated to work at -30°C with 80%+ efficiency. Fort St. John's coldest temps rarely go below -20°C, so a heat pump alone will heat your home 100% of the time. We've tested the data.
Your battery rebate drops from $5,000 to $1,500. That's $3,500 left on the table. Your installer should handle Peak Saver enrollment automatically, but this is critical: confirm they have a process for it before you sign.
Not if you want the BC Hydro rebate. Tesla isn't on BC Hydro's approved battery list, so you get zero rebate. That's $5,000 lost. Our installers use Eguana Evolve instead—same functionality, full rebate.
Yes. Do all three in the same year to maximize stacking. One installer can handle solar + battery. HVAC contractor handles heat pump + water heater. We'll match you with both.
