No. Program administrators make final eligibility and approval decisions. Boost HVAC can provide project and equipment documentation within our scope, but cannot guarantee an incentive.

Always check the current official rules before purchase or installation. Some programs require registration, approval, a specific contractor status or particular equipment before work starts.

03Can rebate amounts change?+

Yes. Funding, amounts, deadlines, eligible equipment and application rules can change. This page includes a visible review date and direct official links so homeowners can confirm current details.

04Can more than one rebate apply?+

Sometimes eligible upgrades can be combined, but stacking rules vary by program. Use the official rebate search tool or contact the program administrator before relying on a combined amount.

05What is the current BC Hydro heat-pump bonus deadline?+
