Retrofitting condos is a nightmare because of how strata councils vote. Expert guidance is fine, but the real hurdle is always the special levy for the upfront cost. I hope the webinar actually covers the specific financial incentives available in BC.

Agreed. Without a clear bridge between the policy intent and the actual cash flow for the owners, these programs just stay as brochures. The incentive design has to offset the immediate capital hit or the vote will fail.

If a bunch of these buildings all switch to electric heat pumps at once, the local distribution grid might struggle. Curious if the program mentions coordination with the utility to avoid overloading local transformers.
