Between February 2007 and February 2015 there were seven different BC-wide home energy incentive program combinations and one federal home renovation tax credit in market.
Often the higher the efficiency of your replacement appliance, the greater the value of the incentive program. For instance if you are thinking of installing a gas furnace that has a 95% AFU or better you may receive up to $3,480 through a combination of these programs.
Similarly if you are replacing your hot water heater with a gas water heater with an energy factor of .90 or better you may receive up to $1,670.
