A Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) will be issued by BC Housing for housing sites where non-profit housing providers have yet to be identified.

The program is an extension of the Affordable Housing Initative (AHI) and is running only 2009-2010.

1. Determine your total household income for last year, before taxes. (The easiest way to figure this out is to look at your last income tax return – and the returns of anyone else who lives with you in your home – and add them together.)
2. Call us at 604 431 9463 (Lower Mainland) or 1 877 431 9463 (elsewhere in B.C.) and say you would like to register for an Energy Saving Kit. The line is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
3. Be ready to tell us:
   • your BC Hydro account number (it's on your bill),
   • your total annual household income, before taxes,
   • the number of people in your household, and
   • where you live.

If you qualify, you will receive your free energy saving kit by mail in three to six weeks. Don't forget to complete the feedback survey included in your kit for your chance to win a $50 visa gift card (terms and conditions [PDF, 20 Kb]).

Print out and complete the Energy Conservation Assistance Program Application Form [PDF, 99 Kb] and submit it to BC Hydro. Be sure to include your proof of income documents, sign the bottom of the second page, and if you rent your home, remember to provide the Landlord Application Form [111 Kb]. BC Hydro will notify you once we have confirmed your eligibility, and an ECAP team member will contact you to arrange your home energy evaluation and retrofit.

A BC Hydro energy management engineer identifies opportunities by conducting a Compressed Air Saving Estimator (CASE) of your system. Based on the opportunities identified in the CASE, the next step would be a comprehensive investigation of your compressed air systems through an Energy Efficiency Feasibility Study.

After that, we will help you get your project off the ground by offering you financial incentives of up to 75% of the project cost. Our key account managers, engineers and pre-qualified consultants will work together to guide you through every stage of the process, from identifying and investigating efficiency opportunities to implementing successful projects.

For more information on the Compressed Air Initiative, contact your Key Account Manager or contact Customer Care at 604 453 6400 (Lower Mainland) or 1 866 453 6400 (elsewhere in BC).
