Current CleanBC program planning

Income-qualified heat-pump support: know which home and conversion path you are planning.

The current Energy Savings Program can be a strong opportunity for eligible households, but the published amount depends on the home type, income level, present heating system, equipment design and project sequence. A headline is not an approval.

Current level 1 maximum

$13,000

For certain income-qualified ground-oriented homes converting from natural gas or propane to a qualifying central ducted or three-head multi-split heat pump.

Not the standard condo route

Condo and apartment units have a distinct income-qualified CleanBC stream and a separate BC Hydro route. Review the building-specific guide before assuming the ground-oriented home maximum.

The administrator decides

Registration, household income, property requirements, system eligibility, invoices and supporting documents are reviewed under current program terms. Funding and payment are not guaranteed by a contractor estimate.

For a gas or propane conversion

A full-electric plan has practical requirements beyond the equipment.

The current rules distinguish a primary fossil-fuel system replacement from simply adding a heat pump. Planning needs to cover the system that heats the home now, the new system’s coverage, equipment design, removal work, ducts, electrical needs and permits.

Read current ground-oriented home requirements

Eligible home and income

Confirm the home is a qualifying ground-oriented residence and that the household can follow the program’s current income qualification process.

Current primary heating

The published gas or propane conversion path starts with a qualifying primary fossil-fuel heating system, not a secondary fireplace.

Complete conversion scope

The heat pump must cover the prior conditioned space and the primary fossil-fuel heating equipment must be removed in accordance with applicable laws.

Registered contractor and records

Use the current program process for registered-contractor work, qualifying equipment, invoice details and the supporting documentation required after installation.

Income-qualified program questions

When does the current CleanBC $13,000 maximum apply?

CleanBC’s current Energy Savings Program requirements list a $13,000 maximum at income level 1 for certain ground-oriented homes converting from natural gas or propane to a qualifying central ducted or three-head multi-split heat pump. The published income, home, existing-heat, removal, system, contractor and documentation conditions all apply.

Does this amount apply to every heat pump or condo?

No. This is not a blanket heat-pump amount and it is not the standard condo path. Income-qualified condo and apartment units have a separate CleanBC stream with separate rules and current maximums. A project must follow the administrator’s applicable program path.

What does a full-electric conversion mean in the current program?

For the current gas or propane conversion path, the new heat pump must replace the existing primary fossil-fuel heating system across the previously heated conditioned space. The primary fossil-fuel equipment and associated infrastructure must be removed in accordance with applicable laws; backup heat must meet the current program requirements.

Can Grove tell me whether I am approved?

No. Grove can review the home, equipment scope and published requirements that appear relevant to the project. The applicable program administrator decides eligibility, funding, documentation and payment.

Can I combine incentive amounts from different pages?

Not automatically. Program combination rules and funding conditions can differ. A written estimate should not treat separate program headlines as one guaranteed net price.
