Condo and Apartment Heat Pump Rebates in BC
If your condo or apartment is heated with electricity, you can get up to $2,250 from BC Hydro to switch to a heat pump. Income-qualified households can get up to $5,000 through the CleanBC Energy Savings Program. A heat pump gives you efficient heat in winter and air conditioning in summer.
Two Heat Pump Rebate Programs for Condo and Apartment Owners
BC Hydro Condo and Apartment Rebate
- Up to $2,250 for replacing your unit’s electric space heating with a heat pump.
- $1,000 for replacing an electric water heater with a heat pump water heater.
- For owners of a unit in a strata condo, an equity co-op or a multiplex with six or more units. Owners of a purpose-built rental building can upgrade one unit.

- You need pre-approval before starting any work, and your strata or co-op board’s approval before you apply for pre-approval.
Energy Savings Condo and Apartment Program (income-qualified)
- Up to $5,000 (Income Level 1) or $4,000 (Income Level 2) for a ductless mini-split or multi-split heat pump.

- For apartment buildings up to six storeys, stacked townhomes and multiplexes with six or more units.
- The unit must be primarily heated by electricity. The BC Assessment value must be $754,000 or less.
- You pre-register and get an eligibility code before installation. The code is valid for three months.

Note: BC Hydro recommends that income-qualified households apply to the Energy Savings Program instead. See our Income-Qualified Rebates page.
Getting Strata Approval for a Heat Pump
Both programs need your strata or co-op board’s approval. BC Hydro asks for a quote and board approval before you apply for pre-approval. We can prepare the quote and equipment details your board asks for, including where the indoor and outdoor units will go.
Which Heat Pump Works in a Condo?
Most condo and apartment upgrades use a ductless mini-split or multi-split heat pump. For the Energy Savings Program, the unit needs a variable-speed compressor and must meet the program’s efficiency ratings. See our Ductless Mini Splits page.

Condo Heat Pump Rebate Questions
Can renters get a condo heat pump rebate?
With the Energy Savings Program, yes, with a landlord consent form. BC Hydro’s condo and apartment rebate doesn’t currently accept renters.
My unit has a gas fireplace. Can I still qualify?
For the Energy Savings Program, a gas or wood fireplace counts as secondary heat. Your main heat must be electric.
My building is taller than six storeys. Do I qualify?
The Energy Savings Program is limited to buildings up to six storeys. Contact us and we’ll check BC Hydro’s rules for your building.
