BC Hydro's appliance program is a time-limited instant discount at the register, not a year-round rebate. It comes and goes with the season. The most recent cycle ran October 3, 2025 to January 2, 2026, with online applications accepted through March 3, 2026. BC Hydro typically brings the program back each fall, so check BC Hydro's current product rebates page → for the live window and eligible model list before you buy.
Buying the right appliance for a Maple Ridge household
Larger Maple Ridge households running frequent loads of laundry see the fastest payback from a heat pump dryer's roughly 50% lower electricity use compared to a standard resistance model. The tradeoff is time, expect cycles to run 20 to 40 minutes longer since the dryer is recycling heat instead of venting it straight outside.
An induction cooktop heats the pan through a magnetic field rather than heating an element first, so water boils noticeably faster and the surface stays cooler to the touch. It only works with magnetic cookware, though, check that your pots and pans are cast iron or induction-rated stainless before buying, since aluminum and copper sets won't heat. Browse induction cooktops at Home Depot → or induction ranges →
Not every appliance with an ENERGY STAR label clears BC Hydro's rebate bar — the program qualifies specific models, so check the current qualifying list before buying rather than assuming certification alone is enough. Browse heat pump dryers at Home Depot →
To be clear: this rebate covers replacing an appliance you already have, not adding a new one to a home that didn't have it. A fridge or washer that's still working usually isn't worth swapping early just for this rebate amount.
How to claim it
- Buy your appliance from a participating retailer. BC Hydro publishes the current list of eligible stores, which includes major chains across Maple Ridge
- Book large item pickup through the City of Maple Ridge or take the old unit to the Maple Ridge transfer station rather than leaving it at the curb
- Apply with your dated receipt within the program's application window, and keep the receipt until the rebate shows up on your bill or account

Common questions
Are appliance rebates available in Maple Ridge?
Yes. Maple Ridge is served by BC Hydro, and BC Hydro runs a seasonal instant in-store discount on select ENERGY STAR refrigerators, clothes washers, and clothes dryers. Amounts and eligible dates change, so check the current program before buying.
What appliances save the most on a BC electricity bill?
Fridges and clothes dryers running constantly tend to have the biggest impact on your bill, since they use more electricity year-round than a dishwasher or washing machine does.
Is there a separate Maple Ridge municipal rebate for appliances?
No, Maple Ridge doesn't run its own appliance rebate program. The city's green home retrofit pages cover permits and general energy-upgrade guidance, but the actual cash-back rebate on fridges, washers, and dryers comes entirely from BC Hydro.
Your utility: BC Hydro
BC Hydro handles electricity across Maple Ridge, and the instant appliance rebate runs through BC Hydro's own retail program, separate from the city. Maple Ridge's rural fringe properties sometimes run on older electrical services, so it's worth confirming your panel can handle an induction range before buying if your home is a few decades old.
