Find a Contractor
Use the search tool below to find local contractors for your home upgrade needs. Contractors listed in the search tool are members of the Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN).
How to Use the Contractor Search Tool
- Search your home’s location by selecting the area, regional district, and city/community that your home is in from the drop-down menus; we have included a map for your reference (note: the map is an image, it cannot be clicked on to select your location). Search results will only show contractors that have been verified to hold a valid business license in your home’s city/community.
- Select the efficiency upgrade type(s) that you are interested in. Search results will show contractors that have been verified to offer that service. You will also see additional services offered by that contractor.
- Click the “Find Contractors” button to produce results. Search results are listed in a randomized order.
Do I need to hire a contractor from this search tool to access rebates?
Maybe, it depends on the rebate(s) you want to apply for. The program providers listed below require you to hire a contractor from this search tool (i.e., an HPCN member) to be eligible for the rebates listed.
Rebate programs that are not listed below do not require you to hire a contractor from the search tool, for example, the federal Greener Homes Initiative.
How do I find a contractor’s membership number for my rebate application?
Members of the HPCN do not have membership numbers. Rebate programs that require you to hire an HPCN member will not ask for a membership number; when you apply for their rebates, you will be able to select the HPCN member you hired from a list.
If you are applying to a rebate program and they are asking for a membership number, for example, the federal Greener Homes Initiative, this is not referring to HPCN contractors as it is not currently mandatory to hire an HPCN member to access that rebate program.
Why hire from the HPCN?
HPCN contractors have completed best practices training, committed to ethical business practices, and are subject to ongoing quality assurance measures. Learn more about contractor requirements to participate in the HPCN.
Many provincial rebate and incentive programs require that you work with a contractor from the HPCN to access their offers. Learn more about our current program partners.
What is the Home Performance Contractor Network?
The Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) is a database of home-upgrade contractors (otherwise known as retrofit or renovation contractors) in British Columbia, Canada. These contractors meet specified trade designation and training qualifications and are subject to ongoing review and quality assurance checks. The HPCN is managed by an independent not-for-profit called the Home Performance Stakeholder Council
Companies registered in the HPCN are required to:
Undergo reference checks
Maintain valid business licenses, general liability insurance, and good standing with WorkSafeBC
Agree to a code of conduct which includes committing to ethical business practices and high standards of customer service
Complete BC-specific best practices training for their industry
Provide a standard one year labour warrantee
Agree to ongoing quality assurance checks and maintain up-to-date qualifications
Contractors do not pay a membership fee to participate in the HPCN or to be displayed in the search tool. This allows the HPCN to operate as an unbiased and independent resource for homeowners to find qualified home-upgrade contractors.
HPCN Program Partners
To access home-upgrade rebates or incentives from many government and utility programs in the province, it is mandatory to hire an HPCN contractor. In cases where programs do not require the use of an HPCN contractor, it is still strongly recommended.
