FortisBC updated its 2026 HVAC rebate program in Q1 with several meaningful changes for Vancouver homeowners. Here is what changed, what stayed the same, and what to do about it.
If you are planning a tankless WH install in 2026, the new bundle bonus makes it economical to pair with boiler or furnace replacement. CANRO can sequence the work to maximize rebate stacking.
FortisBC has signalled the rebate program will continue through at least 2030. Carbon tax escalation makes the program economically self-sustaining as gas-savings ROI improves.
CANRO files every rebate for you — no chasing forms.

Here is how HVAC rebates work in the context of Metro Vancouver's climate, codes and homes. Metro Vancouver homeowners can stack rebates from BC Hydro, FortisBC, and the federal Greener Homes program to subsidise high-efficiency HVAC upgrades. CANRO is a registered contractor and files the paperwork on your behalf.
Metro Vancouver's coastal climate brings salt-laden air to coastal neighbourhoods (Steveston, Tsawwassen, White Rock) that accelerates outdoor coil corrosion — an important factor in equipment selection and placement. CANRO has worked with HVAC rebate systems across Metro Vancouver since 1999, including installations and service calls in Burnaby Heights, Edgemont, Capitol Hill and Port Coquitlam.
Sizing. Rebate amounts depend on system type and home eligibility: up to $6,000 from CleanBC for a cold-climate heat pump, up to $5,000 from federal Greener Homes, plus income-qualified top-ups bringing the total to $11,000+ for eligible households.
For Metro Vancouver homeowners installing high-efficiency heat pumps, current rebates can total $11,000+ — up to $6,000 from CleanBC, $5,000 from federal Greener Homes, plus income-qualified top-ups. Lower amounts ($350-$2,000) are available for high-efficiency furnaces, tankless water heaters, and hybrid heat-pump water heaters.
Yes. CleanBC, FortisBC, and Greener Homes all require installation by a registered contractor. CANRO is a registered contractor for all three programs and handles the paperwork on your behalf.
Rebate cheques typically arrive 8-16 weeks after installation. For Greener Homes Grant, the homeowner submits the application; CANRO provides the receipts and product specifications needed.
Yes — that's how the highest rebate totals are achieved. CleanBC + FortisBC + federal Greener Homes can be combined. Income-qualified top-ups stack on top for eligible households.
A pre-retrofit and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation by a registered energy advisor is required. CANRO can recommend local energy advisors and coordinate the timing of the audits with installation.
Yes — FortisBC offers $1,000-$1,500 for high-efficiency boiler upgrades. The bigger rebate amounts apply to heat-pump conversions, so many homeowners use the boiler-replacement decision as the trigger to evaluate switching to a hybrid or full heat-pump system.
