B.C. man wins $4,600 dispute against heat pump installation company over unreceived federal rebates.

The Civil Resolution Tribunal of British Columbia has awarded Gerald Lysyk $4,600 against heat pump installation company, Thomson Industries Ltd. Lysyk had hired Thomson Industries to install a heat pump in his home which was promised to be eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG). However, the heat pump did not qualify, leading Lysyk to lose the $4,000 for the CGHG and $600 for an energy audit rebate. The tribunal concluded that Thomson Industries Ltd. breached the implied warranty under the Sale of Goods Act and had to pay Lysyk the $4,600 in damages.
