Use this page to identify the correct rebate pathway before equipment is selected. Eligibility depends on the home’s primary heating fuel, household income, property type, utility account, exact equipment, contractor status and application timing.
Funding and terms can change without notice. Recheck the linked program page before signing a contract or ordering equipment. The utility or government program administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
The amounts below are current maximums for specific pathways, not universal offers. The official requirements on the project’s invoice date control eligibility.
For eligible homes replacing electric heating with a qualifying heat pump through the Home Renovation Rebate Program.
For an eligible electric heat-pump water heater replacing the home’s primary electric water heater.
Income-based rebates for eligible homes switching from qualifying oil, gas, propane, electric or wood heating configurations.
Income-qualified condo and apartment residents may have a separate Energy Savings Program pathway.
This is not a general furnace or boiler replacement rebate. It is for eligible existing homes connecting to gas and replacing oil or propane primary heating.
Residential FortisBC gas customers may receive bill-credit rebates when eligible appliances are serviced by a licensed gas contractor.
Use this table only as a starting point. Product lists, contractor requirements, funding availability and application rules can change.

A rebate maximum is useful only after the correct program, equipment and contractor requirements have been confirmed.
Confirm the primary space-heating and water-heating fuels. Electric, gas, propane, oil and wood pathways are not interchangeable.
Income-qualified programs use household size, combined adult income, assessed value and whether the home is ground-oriented or a multi-unit property.
Complete any required pre-registration, obtain a valid code and verify the exact equipment combination and contractor status before work begins.
Keep invoices, permits, load calculations, model numbers and forms, then submit within the specific program deadline.
The required package varies by program and upgrade. Ask the contractor to identify which documents they provide and which application responsibilities stay with the homeowner.
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed, and December 31, 2025 was the final document-submission deadline. The Canada Greener Homes Loan is also closed; October 1, 2025 was the last application date. Homeowners should use current B.C. program sources instead of relying on old federal grant or stacking language. Review the current federal status.
The CleanBC Energy Savings Program currently displays heat-pump rebates up to $13,000 for eligible income-qualified ground-oriented homes. That amount is not universal. The actual maximum depends on income level, existing fuel, property type, assessed value, equipment and paid project cost.
No. The $4,000 amount is for eligible whole-home heat-pump projects replacing electric heating under the Home Renovation Rebate Program. The home, equipment, contractor and heat-load documentation must meet current requirements.
It depends on the program. The Energy Savings Program requires pre-registration and a valid eligibility code before installation. BC Hydro’s standard Home Renovation Rebate Program generally uses a post-installation application, submitted within six months of the invoice date.
No contractor can make the final program decision. Accolade can help identify likely requirements and provide agreed technical documents, but the homeowner and contractor must follow the current terms, and the official administrator determines approval.
There is no universal rebate for replacing an existing gas furnace or boiler. FortisBC currently lists a limited Connect to Gas pathway for eligible new gas customers converting oil or propane heating, plus maintenance rebates for eligible residential gas appliances.
Do not assume stacking is allowed. Programs often prohibit receiving more than one rebate for the same primary heating or water-heating upgrade. Some add-ons or multi-upgrade bonuses exist, but they must be confirmed in the current official terms.
Programs commonly use the invoice date, registration date or approval-code date. Because program details can change, keep dated quotes and verify which terms apply before installation.
The process varies. Some programs use a homeowner application, while the Energy Savings Program may pay the registered contractor and reduce the customer’s invoice. The written project scope should state who supplies documents, who submits the application and who remains responsible for eligibility.
Share the home’s existing heating fuel, property type, household eligibility pathway and proposed equipment. Accolade can help connect the technical scope with the documents the current program may require.
