1. Heat Pump Rebates: Make Your Home More Energy Efficient
A high-efficiency heat pump can provide both heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Depending on your existing heating system, electrical service, home layout, and energy provider, you may qualify for a heat pump rebate or another energy-efficiency incentive.
Replacing an older heating system with a properly sized heat pump may offer several benefits:
- Improved year-round indoor comfort.
- Heating and cooling in one system.
- Potentially lower energy consumption, depending on the existing system and operating conditions.
- Reduced dependence on older, less efficient heating equipment.
- An opportunity to modernize your home while taking advantage of eligible rebate programs.
Rebate amounts and eligibility depend on the specific program, the existing heating equipment, household circumstances, utility provider, and the heat pump selected.
How Trust Heating & Cooling can help: We can assess your existing heating system, discuss suitable high-efficiency heat pump options, explain the installation requirements, and help you identify rebate programs worth investigating before you commit to a replacement.
2. Dual-Fuel Heating System Rebates and Replacement Options
A dual-fuel heating system combines an electric heat pump with a compatible furnace, typically a high-efficiency natural gas furnace. The system uses the heat pump when appropriate and can switch to the furnace when additional heat is needed, according to the system design and control settings.
For some homes, a dual-fuel system can provide a practical balance of energy efficiency, winter comfort, and reliable heating.
A dual-fuel upgrade may be worth considering if:
- Your existing gas furnace is aging or approaching the end of its service life.
- You want to add efficient electric heating and cooling.
- You want to retain a furnace as a supplemental heat source.
- You are interested in available incentives for eligible heating-system upgrades.
Not every home or heating system qualifies for every dual-fuel incentive. Program availability, eligible equipment, installation requirements, and application deadlines can change.
At Trust Heating & Cooling LTD., we can evaluate your current furnace and ductwork, explain whether a heat pump and furnace combination is appropriate, and help you review the requirements of any applicable rebate program before installation.
Our objective is to help you make an informed decision about upgrading your heating system without relying on assumptions about rebate eligibility.
3. Income-Qualified Heat Pump Rebates: Explore Additional Assistance
The cost of replacing an old heating system can be a significant concern for many households. Fortunately, certain energy-efficiency programs offer additional assistance to eligible income-qualified households.
For example, FortisBC’s income-qualified heat pump rebate program lists potential rebates of up to $12,000 for qualifying whole-home heating upgrades and up to $5,000 for qualifying partial-home heating upgrades. These offers have specific requirements, including eligible existing electric heating systems, qualifying heat pumps, income verification, and other program conditions.
The advertised maximum is not a guaranteed rebate. Your actual eligibility and available amount must be confirmed under the current program rules.
How we can help income-qualified homeowners:
- Review your existing heating system. We can discuss your current equipment and whether a heat pump upgrade may be suitable.
- Identify potential rebate opportunities. We can help you understand which programs may be relevant to your project.
- Discuss equipment and installation requirements. We can explain the available heat pump options and what may be required for your home.
- Help you prepare for the next steps. We can explain what information you may need to confirm eligibility and proceed with an installation.
- Coordinate the installation process. Once eligibility, funding, and project requirements are confirmed, we can discuss the appropriate installation plan.
Some programs require income qualification or a program code before installation. Others require specific equipment or pre-approval. Always confirm the current program requirements before purchasing equipment or beginning work.

4. FortisBC Appliance Service Rebates: Maintain Your Existing Equipment
You do not always need to replace your heating system to improve its operation. Regular professional maintenance can help identify developing problems, maintain reliable performance, and keep equipment operating as intended.
FortisBC also offers an appliance maintenance and heat pump service rebate program with eligibility requirements. For example, its residential heat pump service rebate has been advertised at $50 for eligible customers. Utility-service territory, equipment, service documentation, application deadlines, and other conditions apply.
Depending on the current program rules, eligible appliance servicing may include equipment such as:
- Gas furnaces.
- Gas boilers.
- Heat pumps.
- Eligible water heaters.
Not every appliance or customer qualifies under the same terms. Air conditioner servicing should also be confirmed separately, because not every air conditioning service is covered by a FortisBC rebate.
At Trust Heating & Cooling LTD., we provide professional maintenance and service for furnaces, heat pumps, water heaters, boilers, and air conditioners. We can explain the service your equipment needs and help you identify the applicable rebate requirements to check.
Before booking, ask us about your equipment and the available service options. We recommend confirming the current rebate terms and application deadline with FortisBC.
