The provincial government has revived a popular rebate program for homeowners making energy efficiency upgrades.
The LiveSmart BC rebate and incentive program was put on hold last August after exhausting three years worth of program funding in just 15 months.
FortisBC has partnered with the BC government, BC Hydro and Terasen Gas to revive the program.
“Improving the energy efficiency of existing homes is essential for meeting demand for electricity through conservation,” says Michael Mulcahy, FortisBC’s Vice President of Customer and Corporate Services. “Through FortisBC’s collaboration with the provincial government and utility partners, customers in our service area can easily access incentives that are consistent with what’s available throughout the province.”
To participate in the program, homeowners must have their residence audited by a certified energy advisor who will assess potential energy savings.
The program provides incentives for specific energy efficient upgrades including windows and door, insulation, heat pumps, high efficiency furnaces and more.
When a homeowner completes some or all of the energy efficient upgrades, a post-retrofit audit qualifies the homeowner for refunds.
