If you’re planning on installing a heat pump in your Vancouver home, there may be rebates available from both federal and provincial programs that could save you thousands. Here is an in-depth look at these opportunities, so take action fast to take advantage of them all. A heat pump is one of the most energy-efficient heating equipment you can use to reduce your carbon footprint. A heat pump can be a reliable heating and cooling source in moderate climates. At AireEnergy, we can help you purchase heat pumps with rebates all across Greater Vancouver in areas including Surrey, Langley, Richmond Coquitlam, Delta, Vancouver Burnaby, and Squamish!
