BC Questions
What is an R-Value?
​
An R-Value is a way to measure insulation. A higher value indicates a better insulation. The value for any specific product will depend on thickness, as well as the type of material.
​
Are there contractor requirements for insulation?
​
Yes, for the provincial insulation rebates you will need to use a Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) member. You can review the full list here.
​
How do I know what I'm eligible for?
​
Use the rebate search tool and Home Eligibility page on the CleanBC website.
​
What else is available?
​
You may be eligible for $33,900 in additional rebates through the CleanBC Income Qualified Program. Eligibility depends on household income and size. For details, see the program eligibility table.
​
What is the $2,000 Bonus Offer?
​
CleanBC is offering a rebate of $750 to $2,000 for completing three or more rebate-eligible upgrades on your home. There is also a $300 offer for completing 2 upgrades.
​
