LiveSmart BC Gets Renewed Energy

When funding ran out for the original LiveSmart BC household energy conservation program, the hugely successful program closed to the chagrin of many who missed the opportunity to take advantage of rebates and grants.

The Provincial goverment just announced that it found $35 million in its new budget to give to the LiveSmart BC renewed energy.

The LiveSmart BC program offers financial support for household energy assessments and rebates up to $1,450 for installing energy efficient appliances.

Need an energy audit for your home?

You can contract a certified energy adviser to audit your energy usage and recommend the most efficient upgrades to save energy and reduce costs.

Rebates run as high as $1,450 for air source heat pump installations that meet specified efficiency targets, while gas furnace replacements can earn rebates as high as $1,130 in interior and northern B.C. and up to $770 on the south coast. Insulation, window replacements and draft-proofing can net lesser amounts.


 

Live Smart BC is Back

The Provincial Government in British Columbia announced on March 2nd that it is reinstating the Live Smart BC program. The program was cut last year. Details are to follow as to grant amounts and eligible items. It’s a great boost for the economy and a valuable incentive to go Green and cut energy consumption.
