Part of a Dual Fuel System

A connected thermostat is required for the FortisBC dual fuel rebate. It controls the switchover between heat pump and furnace, so it has to be set up correctly at commissioning.

Switchover setup

Dual fuel switchover settings that meet FortisBC rules.

Whole-home plan

Controls planned alongside heat pump and envelope upgrades.

Smart Thermostat FAQ

Can I install the thermostat myself and claim the FortisBC rebate?

The rebate requires installation by a TSBC-licensed installer with a central system installed or serviced.

Are BC Hydro baseboard thermostats really free?

Up to five are provided at no cost when you enrol in Peak Saver. That enrolment does not earn the separate enrolment bonus.

What happens after October 31?

FortisBC instant retail rebates end. The FortisBC connected thermostat rebate is a separate offer.
