FortisBC is doubling down on its attempt to get more British Columbians doing high-efficiency home renovations in time for winter.
The utility company has doubled its Home Renovation Rebates Program—now as much as $2,400 per natural gas heating system—so people will be more inclined to lower their long-term heating costs and help the environment.
“We want to make sure both our natural gas and electricity customers can continue to access the funds and services they need to make their home more comfortable and affordable, plus reduce their greenhouse gas emissions,” FortisBC conservation and energy management director Danielle Wensink said in a press release.
“Helping our customers reduce energy use is also one of the ways we’re progressing towards our goal of reducing all our customers’ emissions by 30 per cent by the year 2030.”
The upgrades require installation by a qualified contractor if they are going to qualify for rebates. The list of contractors is available here.
