Programs aren’t uniform across BC. The North, some Island municipalities and Indigenous communities have options Metro Vancouver doesn’t.
Northern BC (100 Mile House and north)
- Switching gas heat to a heat pump: up to $8,000.
- Heat pump water heater in place of a gas one: up to $1,000.
- Dual fuel systems in the North must switch over at 2°C or lower.
- Additional income-qualified northern amounts are reported; confirm them with an Energy Coach (1-844-881-9790).
Southern Interior
The usual FortisBC rebates apply here too. For dual fuel, set the switchover at 2°C or lower instead of the coastal 5°C.
Vancouver Island
- Saanich: interest-free financing up to $12,000 for moving from gas heat to a heat pump, repaid through property taxes over 10 years. The most recent intake closed October 13, 2026.
- Central Saanich: a similar 0% program up to $12,000, with limited 2026 spaces.
- Coastal dual fuel switchover: 5°C or lower.
Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley
Vancouver’s former heat pump top-up depended on the CleanBC switching rebate that ended in April 2025, and we can’t confirm it for 2026. Our search found no active 2026 top-ups in Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, the Tri-Cities, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford or Chilliwack. The Better Homes BC municipal offers page is the place to check.
Indigenous communities
Homes in Indigenous communities have their own FortisBC rebate program, applied for through the community’s housing department, with larger amounts than the general offers. See the FortisBC page for current details.
The federal rebate on the horizon
Ottawa’s National Heat Pump Rebate, announced October 8, 2026, would pay up to $10,000 below median income and $2,000 otherwise. Expected early 2027.
How HeatLand helps with the regional rebates
HeatLand’s technicians are brand-agnostic, so the advice on the regional 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.
