“Is there a rebate on a new furnace?” is the question HeatLand gets most. The honest 2026 answer is usually no, unless you upgrade to dual fuel. Here’s the detail.
Gas furnace replacement at a glance
| What you install | Rebate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New gas furnace only (like-for-like) | Generally none | No standard FortisBC rebate for existing customers in 2026 (confirm before relying) |
| Dual fuel system (heat pump + new gas furnace) | Up to $4,000 | Existing gas furnace 15+ years old; installed on or after Oct 15, 2026 |
| Dual fuel system, income-qualified | Up to $8,000 | Plus a $350 two-upgrade bonus |
| Connected thermostat, income-qualified | Up to $200 | Announced Oct 15, 2026; confirm before relying |
Why dual fuel deserves a quote
You need a new furnace either way. With dual fuel, you also get a heat pump for efficient heating and AC, and FortisBC contributes up to $4,000 ($8,000 income-qualified) when the old furnace is 15+ years old. Since the heat pump is PST-exempt and gas equipment isn’t, compare both options after tax and after rebate. HeatLand will quote both, honestly.
Homes with a boiler
Radiators and in-floor heating don’t suit a ducted dual fuel system. The usual choices are a high-efficiency condensing or combi boiler, which has no rebate for gas-to-gas but can cut gas use, or a heat pump option that income-qualified households may get CleanBC support for.
- Modern condensing boilers run far more efficiently than older non-condensing models.
- A combi boiler can take over hot water too, removing the separate tank.
- If your income might qualify, look at the CleanBC Energy Savings Program before deciding.
Small rebates worth asking about
Third-party sources mention FortisBC appliance maintenance rebates (around $50 per furnace or boiler service). We couldn’t confirm the program for 2026; confirm before relying.
Emergency replacements
When the heat goes out, the rebate is easy to lose by accident: FortisBC excludes warranty and insurance replacements, and the old furnace has to be photographed. HeatLand offers emergency service, so call (604) 330-3812 first and we’ll keep the rebate route open while we get you warm.
How HeatLand helps with the furnace and boiler rebates
HeatLand’s technicians are brand-agnostic, so the advice on the furnace and boiler rebates isn’t tied to selling one product. We start with what you have now, how old it is and what you want it to do, then tell you honestly whether a rebate fits, including when the answer is no or when waiting a year makes more sense.
If you go ahead, HeatLand provides a free, no-obligation estimate for qualifying equipment, helps with the CleanBC and utility paperwork, and explains how to confirm any contractor’s listing on the HPCN directory. Call or text (604) 330-3812, or email info@heatland.ca.
