Solar Panels
Up to $5,000 back on a solar installation. In my opinion, solar gets a bad rap for efficiency — but no moving parts, widely available, and installed properly it'll last you 20 or more years. That rebate helps make the numbers work.

Is it Time for an Upgrade?
There's real money available right now for homeowners doing electrical upgrades in BC. CleanBC and BC Hydro have rebate programs that can take a serious chunk off the cost of things like heat pumps, EV chargers, solar panels, and panel upgrades.
I'm Justin, master electrician and owner of Taurus Electric here in Chilliwack. We help homeowners across the Fraser Valley get these upgrades done right and done in a way that actually qualifies for the rebates.
That second part matters more than most people think.
Watch: CleanBC Rebates — What You Need to Know
What Rebates Are Available Right Now?
If you're converting from oil, propane, or natural gas heating to an electric heat pump, the CleanBC Better Homes Energy Savings Program can cover a significant portion of your electrical service upgrade — applied directly to your invoice by a registered contractor.
Battery Storage
Pair your solar system with a battery and you can unlock an additional $5,000 rebate. Energy independence is cool. Not relying on anyone else for your power is genuinely worth something.
Heat Pumps
Switching from electric baseboard or fossil fuel heating? You could see up to $4,000 back on a whole home heat pump system. The electrical side of a heat pump install is something we handle a lot — it's not always a small job.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Swap out an old electric tank for a heat pump water heater and there's a $1,000 rebate sitting there. Straightforward upgrade. Good value.
EV Chargers
Up to $350 for a Level 2 EV charger installation at a single family home. It's not a huge rebate on its own, but it offsets a real cost. And the installation has to be done right to qualify.
Here's What Most Homeowners Miss
The rebate doesn't just happen because you bought the right equipment. There's a list of requirements. Miss one of those and your rebate gets reduced or denied. We've seen it happen. It's very important that whoever does the electrical work on your project understands the rebate criteria — not just the electrical code.
Some of these catch people off guard
- The equipment has to be approved and on the eligible product list
- It has to be sized and installed correctly
- The electrician has to be certified and licensed
- Some programs now require your contractor to be part of the Home Performance Contractor Network
- Permits have to be pulled and inspections have to pass
- Documentation has to be submitted on time
How It Works
How Taurus Electric Handles the Electrical Side of Rebate Projects
A lot of rebate-eligible upgrades can't happen until the electrical is sorted out first.
Panel Upgrades
Heat pumps, EV chargers, solar systems, they all pull load. If your existing panel can't handle it safely, we upgrade it first. That's not an upsell. That's just how it works.
EV Charger Circuits
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated circuit, a proper load calculation, and a permit. The charger has to be CSA-approved and sold in Canada. And the person installing it has to be certified. That's us.
Heat Pump Electrical Preparation
Switching to a heat pump usually means electrical modifications. The HVAC company handles the equipment, we handle what it takes to actually power it.
Solar and Battery Readiness
Solar systems need proper electrical integration. Panel configuration, safety disconnects, everything tied into the grid or battery system correctly. That's the part we handle.
Planning Ahead
How to Actually Maximize Your Rebates
Planning ahead is the difference between getting the full rebate and finding out after the fact that you missed something.
- Confirm eligibility before you buy anything
- Choose equipment that's on the approved list
- Work with a certified electrician who knows the rebate requirements
- Pull permits and get inspections done
- Keep your invoices, model numbers, and documentation
- Submit your application before the deadline
