Green Homes

CleanBC Better Homes is now offering a Heat Pump Group Purchase Rebate of up to $500 for homeowners switching from an oil, natural gas, or propane heating system to an eligible air source heat pump. The more homes that register and apply as a group using the same Group Code, the higher the rebate for each participant, so share this page with your friends!

Current GPR Group Code: GPR0152-EXP09/11/2022

This Code expires on November 9, 2022. Note: Each group Code can be used by a maximum of 30 participants and once full or expired, a new Code will be issued. Check back here for a new Code.

Here is how to take advantage of the Group Purchase Rebate:

1. Register with the Township of Langley GPR Group Code at betterhomesbc.ca/gpr-register before applying for your provincial CleanBC heat pump rebate.
2. Apply to Clean BC Better Homes for all eligible rebates before the Code expires. Don’t forget to enter your GPR Group Code in the Promo Code field of the application form.
3. Spread the word about the GPR Group Code. The more homes that install a heat pump and apply using the same Code, the higher the rebate!

Participants must register with the complete GPR Code, have their heat pump installed, and submit applications for rebates within 6 months of their final installation invoice date.

If you’re not quite ready to install a heat pump before the Code expires, check back for a new Code soon!
