Connected thermostat-specific eligibility

Not applicable for baseboard heating.

3. To be eligible for the connected thermostat rebate, the qualifying thermostat must have been installed by a licensed contractor with a GST number and valid B.C business license at the same time as the new heating system is installed or as part of a maintenance program for your heating system. Self-installations are not eligible.
