Starting your heat pump retrofit journey involves several key stages. Here's a guide to help you navigate through the process:

3. Get help: book a free Virtual Home Energy Consultation to get answers and support from a local energy expert
4. Review support programs: check program websites to identify rebates or financing you may be eligible for
5. Reach out to contractors: find local contractors through the CleanBC search tool and get at least three quotes
6. Select a contractor: pick a contractor who can provide the system you want within your budget
