Official program pages checked November 11, 2026. Rebates are paid to eligible customers under the program rules; an enquiry does not reserve funding or confirm eligibility.
The main homeowner opportunity
A new eligible central ducted heat pump paired with a new compatible high-efficiency gas furnace may qualify for up to $4,000, or up to $8,000 through the income-qualified pathway. This is a combined-system offer: a furnace-only replacement does not qualify under this dual-fuel program.
Which pathway fits your project?
| Project | Available rebate | First check |
|---|---|---|
| New furnace + heat pump | Up to $4,000 | Existing primary gas furnace at least 15 years old; eligible matched system and home. |
| Income-qualified furnace + heat pump | Up to $8,000 | Household income, ownership, home age and size, and system requirements. |
| Income-qualified condensing gas water heater | $3,000 | Eligible tankless or storage model and income-qualified program conditions. |
| Commercial dual-fuel rooftop units | 30% of total project cost | Up to $150,000 per premise for standard efficiency or $225,000 for condensing efficiency; commercial eligibility applies. |
| Industrial process-heating gas boiler | Up to $45,000 | Eligible process heat only. Space heating and domestic hot water are excluded. |
Check the conditions before ordering
- The current residential dual-fuel offers apply to installations completed on or after October 15, 2026.
- Choose a complete combination on FortisBC’s Qualified Dual Fuel Systems List, with connected thermostat, approved heat-load calculation and commissioning records.
- The contractor must be registered in the Home Performance Contractor Network for the applicable rebate at installation. Confirm that registration and the responsible trades with Robert before accepting a proposal. This page does not certify BeeWarm’s program registration.
- The standard pathway requires a qualifying year-round primary residence at least 12 months old. The income-qualified pathway has separate requirements, including a home at least 10 years old and no larger than 3,500 square feet.
- Applications for the standard dual-fuel offer are due within six months of the paid invoice. Check the application deadline for your selected pathway.
- The dual-fuel programs restrict combining other FortisBC, provincial or federal rebates. Do not add headline amounts from different offers together.

Bring a useful brief
Have your city, property type, existing furnace age and model, accessible equipment photos and comfort concerns ready. Ask for a written equipment schedule, total installation scope, permit responsibilities, contractor registration and the exact rebate program. Income documents belong in the official application process, not an initial service email.
