Where your home is changes what you can claim. Here is what we can confirm by region, and what you should double-check with your city.
Northern BC (100 Mile House and north)
- Heat pump replacing natural gas heat: up to $8,000.
- Heat pump water heater replacing a gas water heater: up to $1,000.
- Dual fuel switchover must be 2°C or lower in Northern BC. Pacific Northern Gas offers a dual fuel top-up.
- Income-qualified northern top-ups are reported at $3,000 (multi-head or ducted) and $1,500 (single head); confirm with an Energy Coach at 1-844-881-9790.
Southern Interior
Standard FortisBC programs apply. The key difference for dual fuel is the 2°C or lower switchover requirement (versus 5°C on the coast).
Vancouver Island
- Saanich: 0% financing up to $12,000 to replace a gas furnace or boiler with a heat pump, repaid over 10 years on property taxes. The latest intake closed October 13, 2026, so watch for the next one.
- Central Saanich: same model, 0% up to $12,000, limited spots in 2026.
- Dual fuel switchover: 5°C or lower.
Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley
City of Vancouver heat pump top-ups were tied to the standard CleanBC fuel-switching rebate that ended in April 2025, and are not confirmed for 2026. We found no active 2026 top-ups for Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, New Westminster or Delta. Check the Better Homes BC municipal offers page; top-ups are usually applied automatically when you claim the main rebate.
Homes in Indigenous communities
FortisBC’s program for homes in Indigenous communities (applications through the community’s housing department) lists dual fuel up to $15,000 (+$3,000 northern top-up), air-source heat pumps $5,000 to $12,000, water heating up to $3,500, insulation up to $2,000, windows and doors $950 each up to $9,500, ventilation up to $2,400.
Coming in 2027: federal National Heat Pump Rebate
Announced October 8, 2026, available across Canada: up to $10,000 for households below median income and $2,000 for others, stackable with provincial programs. Not open yet.
How CANRO helps with the regional rebates
CANRO has worked on gas heating in Metro Vancouver homes since 1999, and our founder George is known for boilers and hydronic heating, the systems other companies often won’t touch. When you call, we start with the questions that decide eligibility: how old is the existing equipment, what fuel heats the home, is it your primary residence, and does any part of the household qualify for income-tested rebates.
Then we tell you plainly which rebate fits, what it should pay, and what has to happen before the install. If a program needs an HPCN-listed contractor, we tell you how to verify any installer (including us) on the HPCN directory before you book. Call (604) 359-1081 or email info@canroheat.ca.
