Window and Door Rebates

Rebates help, but they aren’t the reason to buy new windows. We help you find the one that applies to your home and claim it.

Your town

Which Rebate Applies in Your Town

Look at who sends your power or gas bill. If it is FortisBC, Nelson Hydro or the City of Grand Forks, the FortisBC rebate is the one to look at, and if your household is under the income limits, look at the income-qualified rebate first, because it pays more. If it is BC Hydro, look at the BC Hydro rebate.
