Furnace and Boiler Rebates in BC
There is no rebate in BC for replacing a gas furnace or boiler on its own. Rebates now go to systems that add a heat pump: a dual fuel setup with a new furnace, a full heat pump that replaces the furnace, or an air-to-water heat pump that replaces a boiler.

Before Your Furnace Fails
Emergency replacements do not qualify for heat pump rebates, and dual fuel needs a heat load calculation and a qualified contractor. Planning the swap while the old unit still runs keeps every rebate option open.

Furnace and Boiler FAQ
Is there any rebate for a high-efficiency gas furnace?
Only as part of the FortisBC dual fuel rebate, installed with a new ducted heat pump.
What replaces a hot water boiler?
An air-to-water heat pump can feed existing radiators or in-floor loops. Rebates come through the Energy Savings Program and northern offers.
My furnace stopped working. Can I still get a rebate?
Emergency replacements are excluded from the heat pump rebate. Ask about a temporary fix while you plan the upgrade.

Check Your Rebate Pathway Before You Buy Equipment
Most rebate problems start before installation: the wrong program, a missing pre-registration, or equipment that is not on the qualifying list. Our registered energy advisors review your heating fuel, utility, income pathway and upgrade order so the paperwork matches the rules on your invoice date.
