If you are thinking about replacing your old furnace, 2025 is a great time to do it. Heating costs are climbing across Metro Vancouver, but the good news is that FortisBC is still offering generous rebates for high-efficiency gas furnaces.
At Ashton Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, we have been helping homeowners in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey install new high-efficiency furnaces for nearly four decades. We make sure every customer qualifies for all available rebates while enjoying professional installation and two years of free maintenance.
Gas Furnace System Rebate
If you are replacing an old gas furnace with a high-efficiency gas furnace, you may qualify for a $1,000 rebate. To qualify, your new system must:
- Replace an existing gas furnace
- Be installed by a licensed gas contractor
- Meet or exceed FortisBC’s efficiency and safety requirements
Dual-Fuel System Rebate
FortisBC also offers a $5,000 rebate on dual-fuel heating systems. A dual-fuel system is a combination of an electric heat pump and a high-efficiency gas furnace, giving you both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.
This setup automatically switches between electricity and gas depending on the outdoor temperature, keeping your energy bills lower and your home comfortable.
- Replace a gas furnace that serves as primary heating
- Gas furnace must be at least 10 years old
- Be installed by a licensed gas contractor
CleanBC and Better Homes BC 0% Interest Loan
If you are looking for ways to finance a new system, you may qualify for a 0% interest free loan. Additional funding top-ups may also be available.
- Some dual-fuel systems may qualify for stacked incentives through both programs
- The Canada Greener Homes Loan can provide interest-free financing for home efficiency upgrades

High-efficiency furnaces are not just about rebates — they deliver year-round comfort and savings.
- Lower energy bills: Up to 30 percent reduction in heating costs
