FortisBC Natural Gas Furnace Rebate

FortisBC is offering up to $1,000 when replacing your old gas furnace with an eligible high-efficiency ENERGY STAR® model.

New heating system	Rebate Amount
95-96.9% AFUE furnace	$800
97-99% AFUE furnace	$1000

Optional: Connected thermostat – $150
You are eligible for one primary space heating system rebate per home, regardless of the number of systems installed. For example, you cannot get a rebate for a furnace and heat pump, even if you install a new dual fuel heat pump system. Your second rebate application will be denied.

You must be a FortisBC residential natural gas customer.
Homes primarily heated by natural gas supplied by Pacific Northern Gas are not eligible.
Natural gas must be your current primary heating system fuel type.
To count the upgrade towards the CleanBC Better Homes and Home Renovation Rebate Program, the furnace must:
- Be installed in an eligible home.
- The home must have a minimum of 12 months of consecutive utility billing history.

Your existing furnace must be at least 10 years old and must not require repairs in excess of $1,000 (pre-tax, including parts and labour). Emergency replacements are not eligible.
You must install an eligible ENERGY STAR furnace with a two-pipe direct vent system (sample 1, sample 2). Please see the eligible model list for furnaces. The new heating system must become your primary heating system.
Connected thermostats must be installed by your licensed contractor at the same time as the new qualifying furnace installation and must be on the eligible model list for connected thermostats.
