Local knowledge, island standards.
View Royal punches above its weight on rebates: the Town currently adds a $350 municipal top-up for fossil-fuel-to-heat-pump conversions on top of provincial programs — applied automatically with your application, while funding lasts. Combine that with income-qualified rebates up to $16,000 and View Royal conversions price out beautifully.
The housing here — postwar homes around Helmcken and the hospital, waterfront along Portage Inlet, newer infill on Thetis Heights — runs heavily to electric baseboards and aging gas furnaces. Both paths have strong rebate stories, and our in-house electricians handle the panel upgrades older homes often need (rebated up to $5,000 on qualifying conversions).
Inlet-side placement gets the coastal treatment; hospital-shift households get scheduling that respects sleep. Small municipality, real local service.
