Residential Plumbing & HVAC Rebates

FortisBC Dual Fuel Heating System Rebate

Save up to $4,000 on a heat pump and gas furnace upgrade ($8,000 if you’re income-qualified)!

Is your gas furnace 15 years old or more? FortisBC’s dual fuel rebate is back for eligible installations completed on or after October 15, 2026. It’s for homeowners who replace an aging gas furnace with a dual fuel system: a high-efficiency electric heat pump paired with a new high-efficiency gas furnace. The heat pump cools your home in summer and heats it through milder weather. On the coldest Okanagan days, the furnace takes over automatically. You get central air conditioning and more efficient heating without giving up the backup of natural gas.

What’s covered
  • Residential dual fuel rebate: up to $4,000
  • Income-qualified dual fuel rebate: up to $8,000
  • Two-upgrade bonus: an extra $300 ($350 if income-qualified) for one additional eligible upgrade under the same FortisBC program
  • You can receive the residential or the income-qualified rebate for an installation, not both.
Eligibility
  • Must have a residential FortisBC natural gas account, and the home must be your year-round primary residence.
  • Your existing gas furnace must be at least 15 years old and be the home’s primary heating system.
  • The new system must be a central ducted heat pump and 95%+ efficient gas furnace from FortisBC’s Qualified Dual Fuel Systems List. It must be sized with a heat load calculation and set to switch over at 2°C or lower.
  • Installation must be completed by a licensed contractor listed on FortisBC’s Home Performance Contractor Network (like Vision Plumbing Heating Cooling).
  • Cannot be combined with other FortisBC, provincial or federal rebate programs.
  • The income-qualified rebate has additional household income, home and property requirements.
  • Applications must be submitted within six months of the paid invoice date.
How to apply

Contact Vision for a quote. We’ll help you find out whether your home and existing furnace are likely to qualify, and recommend an eligible heat pump and furnace pairing from FortisBC’s list. We’ll also complete the qualified installation and commissioning with the required thermostat settings.

* Terms and conditions apply. This rebate is offered and administered by FortisBC, not Vision Plumbing Heating Cooling. Eligibility, amounts and approval are determined solely by FortisBC and are subject to FortisBC’s complete terms and eligibility requirements for the residential dual fuel heating system rebate and the income-qualified dual fuel heating system rebate. Applications may take up to 90 days to process, and FortisBC may request a site visit to verify the installation. FortisBC may change or end this program at any time without notice. Vision can help with the process, but rebates are not guaranteed, and the final application is your responsibility.

Save Money & the Environment

Save money by using energy-efficient plumbing around your home in Kelowna. Vision Plumbing Heating Cooling will help you update your water heater, plumbing fixtures, and HVAC systems to meet the current standard of Energy Efficiency to increase comfort, save money, and help protect the environment.

Old furnaces can be very inefficient. Often, an older furnace has an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of 70% or less. This means at least 30% of the fuel they use is lost. Modern condensing furnaces AFUE can be 90% or more. Choosing energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment is smart. You’ll enhance the comfort of your home and save money! If your home is switching from oil or propane to natural gas, FortisBC’s Connect to Gas program may offer rebates on an eligible high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler.

When you choose Energy Efficient units for your home, you’re helping to protect the environment by helping to reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions. Kelowna’s HVAC experts, Vision Plumbing Heating Cooling, will help you update your current furnace or air conditioner to meet the current standard of Energy Efficiency.
