Solar Energy Solutions

Reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint with solar energy. We provide solar panel installation, solar-ready electrical upgrades, and hybrid solar-heat pump systems.

Solar energy is becoming increasingly practical and affordable for BC homeowners, and Budget Heating & Plumbing provides professional solar panel installation and integration services throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. We design and install grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that reduce your electricity consumption from BC Hydro and can generate credits through net metering. The Lower Mainland receives approximately 1,100 to 1,400 peak sun hours per year, making solar a viable investment for most homes with suitable roof orientation and minimal shading. A typical residential solar installation in BC consists of 8 to 16 panels (3 to 6 kW system), generating 3,000 to 6,000 kWh of electricity per year. This can offset 25 to 50 percent of a typical household's electricity consumption, with payback periods of 10 to 15 years depending on system size and electricity usage. BC Hydro's net metering program allows you to earn credits for excess electricity sent to the grid, improving the return on investment. Note: the Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants in 2024 and is no longer available for new solar installations. We handle the complete installation process including structural assessment, permit applications, panel and inverter installation, electrical connection, BC Hydro net metering application, and system commissioning. Our solar installations are integrated with your home's electrical system by our licensed electricians, ensuring safe, code-compliant installation. Budget Heating is BBB A+ rated with hundreds of verified Google reviews, and we stand behind all our solar installations with comprehensive workmanship warranties.
