Heads up: FortisBC no longer offers a stand-alone rebate for a new gas furnace or gas water heater (many websites still show the old $1,000 rebates). Today the biggest rebate for most Lower Mainland homes is the dual fuel system — a heat pump paired with a high-efficiency gas furnace. Not sure what you qualify for? Take the 30-second check.

Heating with electricity and want a heat pump only?

In the Lower Mainland, electricity is supplied by BC Hydro, so FortisBC's electric heat pump rebates don't apply here. Heat pump rebates for electrically heated homes come through BC Hydro and CleanBC programs instead. As a registered heat pump contractor, we'll tell you exactly which program fits your home. Call 604-969-7770.

FAQ

FortisBC Rebate Questions

Does FortisBC still offer a rebate for a new gas furnace?

Not as a stand-alone rebate. As of October 2026, FortisBC's main heating rebate for homes already on natural gas is the dual fuel rebate: $4,000 (or $8,000 for income-qualified households) when you replace a gas furnace that is 15+ years old with a new high-efficiency gas furnace plus a heat pump. Homes switching from oil or propane can still get up to $3,800 for a gas furnace or boiler.

How much is the FortisBC dual fuel rebate?

$4,000 for most homes and $8,000 for income-qualified households. The rebate can't be more than the amount you paid on your invoice.

Do I need a special contractor to get the rebate?

Yes. The dual fuel system must be installed by a Technical Safety BC licensed gas contractor who is a member of the Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN). Angels Heating & Cooling is an HPCN-registered heat pump contractor, licensed by TSBC (LGA 0203414).

Can I combine the dual fuel rebate with BC Hydro or federal rebates?

No. FortisBC's dual fuel rebate can't be combined with other FortisBC, provincial or federal rebate programs for the same upgrade. We'll help you compare options and pick the one that pays you the most.

How long do I have to apply?

For the dual fuel rebate, within 6 months of your paid invoice. For the appliance maintenance rebate, within 60 days of your service invoice. For the connect-to-gas $1,000 bonus, you need a pre-qualification code before December 31, 2026 and a paid invoice before March 31, 2027.

How is the rebate paid?

You apply online through your FortisBC account. Maintenance rebates are paid as a credit on your FortisBC bill (or by cheque if you're not the account holder); processing can take up to 90 days.

I rent my home — can I still get a rebate?

Yes, as long as the property owner and the gas account holder agree. If the owner isn't the account holder, the account holder signs FortisBC's Utility Account Holder Consent form.
