Heat pump rebates in BC are the best they’ve been in years, but there are several programs and most homes qualify for only one. This page explains each program in plain language so you know what you can get before you spend anything. Rebates are paid by FortisBC, BC Hydro and the Province, not by us. Figures are as of November 1, 2026. Programs change, so we confirm yours before you sign.
A 2,200 sq ft Surrey home with a 2004 gas furnace:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ducted heat pump + 96% gas furnace, installed | $19,500 |
| FortisBC dual fuel rebate | −$4,000 |
| Net cost (standard) | $15,500 |
| Net cost if income-qualified ($8,000 rebate) | $11,500 |
Your price depends on your home. This is an illustration, not a quote.
The provincial and utility programs are the same in Surrey, Langley, Delta, White Rock, Richmond, Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Abbotsford. Ask us what’s current for your address.

What is dual fuel?
A heat pump heats your home in winter and cools it in summer. Pair it with a high-efficiency gas furnace and the system switches over by itself when it drops below about 5°C, so you’re never cold and you’re not paying for gas on mild days. In the Lower Mainland, that’s most of the year.
How it works
We look at your furnace, ducts and electrical panel, and do the heat load calculation the rebate needs.
You get one price for the system, plus the rebate you qualify for, in writing.
Permitted, installed, commissioned and documented, so your rebate claim goes through.
Rebates are paid by FortisBC, BC Hydro and the Province of BC, not by Lower Mainland HVAC, and each program decides who qualifies. The FortisBC dual fuel rebate applies to invoices on or after October 15, 2026 and needs a matched system on FortisBC’s qualified list, a heat load calculation, and installation by a Technical Safety BC licensed gas contractor who is a member of the Home Performance Contractor Network. Amounts are maximums, can’t exceed what you paid, and programs can change or end without notice.
