The City of Campbell River is extending its partnership with the Province to get homeowners off fossil fuel heating systems to an electric air source heat pump.

The City is offering a $350 top-up to the CleanBC Better Homes and BC Hydro rebate for electric air source heat pumps.

“Each resident who increases their home’s energy efficiency is helping the community to reduce our overall greenhouse gas emissions, something that the City strongly supports as a signatory to the B.C. Climate Action Charter,” says Jason Locke, acting Director of Community Planning and Livability.

“It is exciting to partner with the Province again this year on a program that promotes climate action and saves residents money on energy costs.”

The City’s top-up, in place since July 2022, is available until March 31, 2024.

The City is again providing $15,000 in funding towards the program from the Climate Action Reserve Fund.

The program is administered by the BC Government and rebates will be approved on a first-come, first-serve basis.
