FORTISBC & BC HYDRO REBATES
We have learned that installing or upgrading your home insulation can result in long-term cost savings. FortisBC and BC Hydro help make this even easier through their rebate programs. On top of the cost savings, your home becomes more comfortable year-round!
It's interesting that utility companies would promote and encourage customers to use less energy, but these service providers are aware that as demand for energy grows, they need to ensure that they can manage and meet their customers' needs. Energy conservation is a good thing for everyone - increased efficiency in operations, less impact on the environment, and reduced expenses for customers.
