FortisBC offers rebate to homeowners installing a dual fuel system – Mechanical Business

Aug 8, 2024

FortisBC Energy Inc. has introduced a $10,000 rebate for BC homeowners replacing an older gas heating system with an electric heat pump and high-efficiency gas furnace.

The dual fuel system is operated through a connected thermostat that automatically switches between electric and gas heating to maximize energy efficiency. FortisBC is currently evaluating dual fuel systems as part of a pilot program on energy savings in different climates.

Additional funding is available for income-qualified, Indigenous and Northern BC customers, with homeowners living north of 100 Mile House eligible to receive a $3,000 top-up from the province when they install a dual fuel system. Low-income and Indigenous customers may be eligible for a $15,000 rebate, with the top-up bringing their rebate to a maximum of $18,000.
