Homeowners across Metro Vancouver are looking for ways to cut energy costs while keeping their homes comfortable year-round. One of the best opportunities right now comes from FortisBC’s Dual-Fuel Heating System Rebate, which rewards you for upgrading to an energy-efficient system that combines an electric heat pump with a natural gas furnace.
Dual-Fuel Heating System Explained
A dual-fuel system pairs two technologies:
- Electric heat pump – provides efficient heating in mild weather and doubles as an air conditioner in the summer.
- High-efficiency gas furnace – takes over when temperatures drop, ensuring reliable heat on cold winter nights.
This smart combination ensures maximum comfort while lowering energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. If you’d like to learn more about how furnaces work in a dual-fuel setup, explore our expert furnace installation and maintenance guide.
Dual-Fuel Heating System Rebate Amounts Available
FortisBC is offering rebates of up to $5,000 when you install an eligible dual-fuel system in your home. The exact amount depends on the system type, efficiency rating, and whether you qualify for bonus incentives. For full program details and requirements, visit the FortisBC dual-fuel rebate page.
In addition, homeowners may also qualify for federal rebates through the Canada Greener Homes program, meaning your total savings could climb even higher.
