Overview
What to know about boiler rebates in BC
Many older homes in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge still rely on hot water boilers feeding radiators or in-floor heat. Older non-condensing boilers can waste a large share of the fuel they burn up the chimney. Boiler rebates in BC, mostly offered through FortisBC for natural gas customers and at times through provincial programs, have helped homeowners move to high-efficiency condensing boilers or combi boilers that also supply domestic hot water.
Offers change regularly, and some years the focus shifts toward heat pumps rather than gas equipment. That is why we confirm the current programs when we quote your boiler replacement. We also talk through alternatives, such as adding a heat pump alongside your hydronic system, so you can weigh comfort, running costs and rebate options together. Each program decides on approval, and we help you submit a complete application.
Boiler upgrades that may qualify
Requirements vary, so we match the equipment to the program at quote time.
Combi boilers
One wall-hung unit for space heating and on-demand hot water, often eligible where combination systems are supported.
Outdoor reset controls
Controls that adjust water temperature to the weather can be required by programs and improve efficiency.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Heat pumps that feed hydronic systems are an emerging option that some programs may support.
Indirect water heaters
A storage tank heated by the boiler can be part of an efficient whole-system upgrade.
Radiant and radiator systems
Existing radiators or in-floor loops can usually stay, which keeps the upgrade focused on the boiler.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Are there rebates for gas boilers in BC right now?
FortisBC has offered rebates on qualifying high-efficiency boilers and combi units, but programs change. We confirm what is currently available for your home when we quote.
Is a combi boiler eligible for rebates?
Combi boilers have qualified under some gas utility programs when they meet efficiency requirements. We check the current rules for the model we propose.
Can I keep my radiators if I replace the boiler?
Usually, yes. Radiators and in-floor loops can often stay in place. We check them for leaks and sludge and may recommend flushing the system.
Should I consider a heat pump instead of a new boiler?
It depends on your home. Some homeowners add a ductless heat pump for cooling and shoulder-season heating, keeping the boiler for colder days. We can compare both approaches and the rebate options for each.
How much is the boiler rebate?
Amounts vary by program and change over time, so we confirm current figures during the quote instead of listing them here.
