What BC Hydro pays for windows and doors in Maple Ridge
We re-read BC Hydro's window and door page on October 2, 2026. The rebate is for homes heated mainly by electricity. FortisBC lists $100 per opening for its gas customers, except in the City of Vancouver.
Windows and doors
Paid for each window or door that replaces an existing one between a heated space and outdoors.
Cap
That is 20 openings at $100 each. A bay window counts as one opening.
Energy rating
The window or door must have a maximum U-factor of 1.22 W/m2-K, which is BC Hydro's Tier 2 level.
More than one upgrade
BC Hydro adds a bonus when you finish more than one eligible upgrade.
Lower incomes
Income-qualified customers can apply for free upgrades.

A house with a suite
A main floor with 11 windows and two doors, plus a basement suite with 4 windows and its own entry door, is 18 openings. At $100 each that pays $1,800. Both parts count because the program allows a detached house with a secondary suite when each is separately metered.
Maple Ridge's homes in numbers
The 2021 Census counted 33,110 households in Maple Ridge. About 79% own and 53% live in detached houses. Only 17% are in apartments. Of the households, 9,480 (29%) live in homes built before 1981, and 5,160 are owner-occupied detached houses from that period.
Colder nights than the coast
Maple Ridge's average January low from 2015 to 2024 was 0.1°C, and the coldest day was -19.6°C. That is deeper than Burnaby or Surrey, since the city is farther inland near the mountains. Windows that leak make cold nights feel colder.
Secondary suites and acreage
BC Hydro accepts a detached home with a secondary suite when both are individually metered. Garages, workshops and outbuildings are not eligible. On a larger lot, keep the house windows separate from any shop windows on the invoice, so the claim is clean.
Counting and certification
One rough opening is one opening. A bay window is one. Each unit needs a U-factor of 1.22 W/m2-K or lower and a listing from CSA, Intertek, Labtest, QAI or NFRC. Skylights are excluded.
Timing and paperwork
You have six months from the invoice date to apply, and the application needs the invoice and a photo of the manufacturer label on each unit. BC Hydro publishes a window and door checklist and a sample invoice. Ask the contractor to fill in the invoice the way the sample does, listing each window or door separately. A vague invoice is the usual reason a claim is sent back.
Stacking a second upgrade
BC Hydro pays a bonus of up to $2,000 when you finish more than one eligible upgrade, but its page does not give a formula, so ask when you apply. FortisBC lists a $300 second-upgrade bonus or an EnerGuide improvement bonus of $750 to $2,000. Windows pair naturally with insulation, since both cut heat loss through the building envelope.
If your income is lower
BC Hydro sends income-qualified customers to the CleanBC Better Homes Energy Savings Program instead, and the two cannot be combined. The 2026 program document lists no insulation or window rebates, so the free Energy Conservation Assistance Program is the route to ask about.
How to claim in Maple Ridge
- Confirm the home is electric-heated and at least 12 months old.
- Get quotes that list the U-factor of every window and door.
- Photograph each label on installation day.
- Keep the invoice and apply within six months.
- Add insulation to the same application to check the bonus.
