That's the upper most bound of the rebate, it's graduated based on income. For that income level, it has to be a household of at least 4 people and you're only eligible if you're replacing and decomissioning an oil, natural gas, or propane central heating system. If you're a smaller household and/or replacing electric heating the maximum income is much less. For example, if a 3 person household is replacing electric baseboard heat the maximum income is $94,428. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this help people replace their furnace if most don't even qualify to begin with? How do you make sense of that? Should it not be familys making under $185k? Does that not make more sense to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired and earning well less than half the requirement, needed a new furnace/heat pump (for cooling also now that summers are getting hotter for longer.) The rebate helped me make the purchase much sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the case. $185k is the maximum household income (for a household of 4) that can apply for the rebate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Massey Bridge was totally stupid. 10 lanes? And where would it go? Highway 99 through Richmond is 6 lanes, the Oak St. Bridge is 4 lanes. Unless they were going to rebuild the Fraser Street Bridge to be a 6 lane bridge into Vancouver. (Yes I'm old enough to remember the Fraser St. Bridge before they built the Knight St. Bridge.) They'd be better off expanding the tunnel to 6 lanes. Put in a Skytrain line from Bridgeport, along Highway 99. Across to Delta, split off to South Surrey/White Rock, and have one line go to Twassassen and to the Ferry terminal. The reason they wanted the Bridge was so they can have a bigger Port in Richmond/New West, with larger cargo ships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenmore Rd helps bypass most of the heaviest traffic and gets you through to Winfield but you still have to cross the bridge first. I wonder what the feasibility of expanding Westside Road is or an entirely new highway on the west side of the lake up to #97 and Armstrong? Or a bridge from Westside Rd into Vernon? Failing that you need a few overpasses on Harvey. Why does every single crossroad of a major road have to have lights? Or at least synchronize them… Edited July 4 by 4petesake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
