The region your home is in changes what you can claim. Here’s what ROMA can confirm by area, and what to double-check with your municipality.
Northern BC (100 Mile House and north)
- Heat pump replacing natural gas heating: up to $8,000.
- Swapping a gas water heater for a heat pump model: up to $1,000.
- Northern dual fuel systems have to hand over to gas at 2°C or below.
- Income-qualified northern top-ups are reported; confirm with an Energy Coach at 1-844-881-9790.
Southern Interior
Standard FortisBC programs apply. The main difference for dual fuel is the 2°C or lower switchover requirement, versus 5°C on the coast.
Vancouver Island
- Saanich: the district lends up to $12,000 at 0% for a heat pump that replaces gas heat, and owners repay it on their property tax bill over 10 years. Its most recent intake shut on October 13, 2026.
- Central Saanich: the same model, 0% up to $12,000, with limited spots in 2026.
- Dual fuel switchover: 5°C or lower.
Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley
City of Vancouver heat pump top-ups were tied to the standard CleanBC switching rebate that ended in April 2025 and aren’t confirmed for 2026. We found no active 2026 top-ups for Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Delta, Langley or Abbotsford. Check the Better Homes BC municipal offers page; top-ups are usually added automatically when you claim the main rebate.
Homes in Indigenous communities
FortisBC runs a separate program for homes in Indigenous communities, with applications made through the community’s housing department. It lists higher amounts than the general programs, including for dual fuel systems, water heating, insulation, windows and ventilation. Check the FortisBC program page for current figures.
Coming in 2027: the federal rebate
Announced October 8, 2026 for all of Canada: up to $10,000 for households below median income and $2,000 for others. Not open yet.
How ROMA helps with the regional rebates
ROMA has replaced gas furnaces, boilers and water heaters in Greater Vancouver homes since 1999, from Vancouver Specials with basement suites to heritage houses on radiators. When you call about the regional rebates, a licensed technician starts with the facts that decide eligibility: the age on the rating plate, what fuel heats the house, whether it’s your primary home, and whether the household may be income-qualified.
You get a plain answer about which rebate fits and what it should pay, and a free, flat-rate estimate on qualifying equipment if you want one. Where a program needs an HPCN-listed contractor, we show you how to check any installer on the HPCN directory before you book. Phone (604) 704-0300 or email info@romaheating.ca.
