BC Furnace & Boiler REBATES 2026
Upgrade Your Gas Heating & Save
If your home relies on natural gas for winter heating, running an old, inefficient furnace or boiler is costing you a significant amount of money every month.
UP TO $1,000 in REBATES
While much of the government funding has shifted toward electric heat pumps, FortisBC continues to offer excellent financial incentives for homeowners who want to upgrade their aging gas equipment to brand new, high efficiency models. In 2026, you can still secure substantial rebates to make your natural gas upgrade much more affordable.
Do not replace your gas heating system without claiming your rebates. Contact CP Heating today for a free consultation.
The Core Rebate Breakdown
Your FortisBC Savings
FortisBC rewards homeowners who choose highly efficient heating technology (typically systems with a 95% or higher AFUE rating). We have summarized the primary rebates available for standard residential gas upgrades in the table below:
1. High-Efficiency Furnace Upgrades
If your current furnace is over 10 to 15 years old, it is likely wasting a large portion of the gas it consumes. By upgrading to an eligible high efficiency natural gas furnace, you not only qualify for up to $1,000 in FortisBC rebates, but you will also see an immediate, permanent reduction in your winter heating bills.
2. High-Efficiency Boiler Upgrades
For homes that use radiant heating or hot water radiators, upgrading to a modern, condensing natural gas boiler is highly incentivized. FortisBC offers up to $1,000 to help you make the switch to a system that extracts maximum heat from every unit of gas.
3. Smart Thermostat Bonus
To maximize your energy savings, FortisBC also provides a rebate of up to $150 when you install a qualifying connected smart thermostat alongside your new heating system. This allows you to intelligently control your home's climate and reduce wasted energy when you are away.
A Smart Alternative: The Dual-Fuel Option
While upgrading your standard gas furnace is a great choice, there is another option that can unlock even larger government rebates.
If you pair a new high efficiency gas furnace with an electric heat pump, you create a “Dual-Fuel System.” This setup intelligently switches between gas and electricity to maximize efficiency. Because this incorporates a heat pump, it opens the door to massive CleanBC rebates that far exceed standard furnace grants. Ask our team if a dual fuel upgrade makes sense for your home.
