How it works
In Maple Ridge, there's no rebate paperwork after a purchase: BC Hydro ships a free thermostat to eligible homes. The offer is built around electric baseboard heat, where a programmed schedule 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 Maple Ridge 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
This offer doesn't cover gas, oil, or heat-pump homes in Maple Ridge — you'd buy a smart thermostat at retail there, and it still earns its cost back through scheduling. Renters on electric baseboard heat can usually apply directly.
How to claim it
- Confirm your Maple Ridge home runs on electric baseboards, then run the free rebate assessment to see what else applies
- 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 Maple Ridge?
BC Hydro's electric baseboard offer includes a free smart thermostat for eligible Maple Ridge homes, 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 Maple Ridge 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.
