What heat pump rebates pay in Langley
We re-read BC Hydro's heat pump rebate page on October 3, 2026. These rebates are for homes that heat with electricity today. The CleanBC amounts are for income-qualified households only.
BC Hydro whole home
Replacing electric heat; the heat pump meets 100% of the load at -5°C.
BC Hydro partial
The heat pump meets at least half of the heating load.
Limited-time bonus
Installed, invoiced and paid August 1 to October 31, 2026. Apply by November 30, 2026.
Income-qualified (CleanBC)
Level 1 switching from gas, oil or propane to a central or 3+ head system. Level 2 up to $7,000, Level 3 up to $3,500. From electric heat, Level 1 only, up to $5,000.
A Langley example
A 2,400 square foot Township house heated by an electric furnace gets a central ducted heat pump. BC Hydro pays $4,000, and up to $1,000 more if finished and paid by October 31, 2026.
Winter in Langley
Langley's average January low from 2015 to 2024 was 0.3°C, and the coldest reading was -16.8°C. Most nights are mild, and a cold-climate heat pump will run efficiently for most of the season.
Homes in Langley
The 2021 Census counted 59,525 households across the City and Township of Langley. About 78% own and 42% live in a detached house (25,010 homes). Of all households, 8,405 own a detached house built before 1981. The Township has far more houses; the City is mostly apartments.
Acreages and long runs
Larger rural Township homes often need a central or multi-split system to meet the whole load, and long line runs between the outdoor unit and the heads can add cost. Ask for the line length and the number of heads in the quote so you can compare prices fairly.
Only for homes replacing electric heat
BC Hydro's heat pump rebate is only for homes that are heated mainly by electricity today: baseboards or an electric furnace. If your home heats with natural gas, oil or propane, BC Hydro pays nothing for the switch. The gas-to-heat-pump rebate for all households ended on April 11, 2025. Income-qualified households can still use the CleanBC Energy Savings Program.
What the heat pump must do
For the $4,000 whole-home rebate, the heat pump must keep 22°C inside at -5°C outside, shown by a CSA F280-12 heat loss calculation. It must be on BC Hydro's eligible list, with HSPF2 of 8.5 or higher and SEER2 of 15.2 or higher. A home over 1,200 square feet needs a multi-split or central system. If the unit meets at least half your heat, it can earn the $1,500 partial rebate instead.
The bonus ends October 31, 2026
BC Hydro is adding up to $1,000 for heat pumps that are installed, invoiced and paid between August 1 and October 31, 2026. Apply by November 30, 2026. It is first come, first served. After October 31, the normal $4,000 and $1,500 amounts still apply.

Common questions
Do City and Township residents get the same rebate?
Yes. Both are BC Hydro territory and the same rules apply.
My Langley home heats with propane. Any rebate?
Not from BC Hydro. If your income qualifies, the CleanBC Energy Savings Program pays for propane-to-heat-pump switches.
Do I need an HPCN contractor?
Yes. Since June 1, 2026, BC Hydro pays only for installs by a Home Performance Contractor Network member. Self-installs do not qualify.
Can I get a rebate if I heat with gas?
Not from the utility rebate. It is only for replacing electric heat. Income-qualified households can use the CleanBC Energy Savings Program, which pays up to $13,000 at Level 1 for central or 3+ head systems.
How long do I have to apply?
Six months from the invoice date for BC Hydro. For the limited-time bonus, apply by November 30, 2026.
