How these numbers are kept honest

Publishing a wrong figure about a $15,000–$30,000 purchase is the one mistake that would make this site worse than useless. Everything below exists to make that hard to do by accident.

Updated .

Four rules

  1. Primary sources only. Every amount comes off the administrator’s own page — Natural Resources Canada, the Province of B.C., BC Hydro, FortisBC. Contractor guides, installer blogs and news write-ups are excluded. They are what this site exists to correct: the $40,000 Greener Homes Loan was still being advertised as open by them months after it stopped accepting applications.
  2. Every figure carries the date it was last read. Beside each amount is a link to the page it came from and the date someone read that page. The date moves when the source is re-read, and at no other time — never because a file was reformatted or a page rebuilt.
  3. Unknowns stay blank. Several programmes name a bonus or a top-up without ever publishing an amount. Those appear here as named and unquantified. A plausible-looking number would be worse than an admitted gap — the open gaps are listed on the front page.
  4. A loan is never added to a grant. Instruments of different kinds are never combined into one headline total, because the combined figure is not money anyone actually receives.

What this site is not

Not an administrator, and not advice

This is an independent reference. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Natural Resources Canada, the Province of British Columbia, BC Hydro, FortisBC or any programme administrator, and nothing here is financial advice. Programmes change without notice and funding runs out mid-year. Confirm on the administrator’s own page — linked beside every figure — before spending money.
