A dual-fuel system combines an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. FortisBC’s October 6 contractor announcement outlines these upcoming offers:
Up to $4,000
For a qualifying dual-fuel heating system replacement.
Up to $8,000
Income qualification and all equipment and installation requirements apply.
Check installation timing before booking.
The announcement gives an October 15 program return date but states that systems must be installed after October 15, 2026. Confirm the exact eligible installation date, full terms and deadlines with FortisBC before proceeding. Do not assume an earlier installation qualifies.
Customers apply for their own FortisBC rebate. The contractor must supply the required commissioning information and old/new equipment photos through DSMAlly, plus the documentation the customer needs.
Additional income-qualified offers announced: water heater $2,500; thermostat up to $200; ventilation up to $2,400; insulation up to $2,000; windows and doors up to $7,500. Qualifying equipment, measures and full terms still need to be checked. This list is program information, not a statement that Central HVAC supplies every listed service.

The Government of Canada has announced support for eligible cold-climate electric air-source heat pumps.
Launch dates, eligible installation dates and application details are still pending. Do not assume a current or earlier installation will qualify, or deduct an expected rebate from your installation budget.
Up to $10,000
The final income definition and household eligibility must be confirmed through the official program.
$2,000
Equipment and installation requirements apply. The announcement does not mean every heat-pump installation qualifies.
The announced federal design does not require energy audits before or after installation. Provincial programs may have different requirements. The government also announced that federal support could be combined with provincial programs, but any combination must be confirmed before you count on it.
Check your home, current heating system, income rules and eligible equipment against the final terms. The backgrounder specifies equipment on the Eligible Products List and one rebate per person.

Checked October 9, 2026. This section describes the announcement, not an open application or guaranteed rebate.
Do not add the advertised maximums together. These are different offers with their own requirements. Confirm any combination with the program administrators before relying on it in your budget.
No. A service or equipment name alone does not establish eligibility. In particular, the announced dual-fuel offer requires a qualifying heat pump and furnace combination. Ask us to review the exact system and applicable program before you choose equipment.
Your existing heating and water-heating equipment, approximate age, current fuel and the upgrade you are considering. Submit income documents only through the program’s official application process, not through our general contact form.
No. The program administrator determines eligibility. We will confirm equipment requirements and the applicable contractor registration before treating a proposed installation as rebate-eligible.
Tell us what you have now and what you want to replace. We can help identify which program requirements need to be checked before an estimate or installation.
