Insulation rebate terms updated
FortisBC updated the insulation rebate terms and conditions dates and restored calculation details for cases where pre-existing insulation was removed.
The insulation rebates page now points invoices dated on or after May 16, 2026 to one terms-and-conditions document and invoices dated before May 16, 2026 to the additional terms-and-conditions document. The rebate calculation note was also restored to say that when pre-existing insulation is removed, the rebate is calculated on the difference between the new and pre-existing insulation R-value, and the verification wording now refers only to installation.
