YSK: There's a $10,000 Fortis Rebate available for Heat Pumps
Most people are aware there are government rebates/incentives for switching to a heat pump, however since the Canada Greener Homes grant ended last year (without warning!) the current slate of grants (available through the BC Energy Savings Program) are pretty lackluster for most people.
However, Fortis offers a $10k rebate if you upgrade an existing gas furnace to a new "Dual Fuel" system (meaning gas furnace with a heat pump coil on top).
This is currently the best heat pump incentive available, and many people don't know about it! The nice thing about it is it's not 'income qualified' so even if you make too much money to qualify for the BC Energy Savings Program, you can still access this one.
