Before you count on the rebate: the expected start date and offer amount are based on a contractor-industry summary of an October 6 FortisBC announcement. Final official terms have not been verified for this draft. An estimate does not confirm eligibility or approval.
TWO SOURCES. INTEGRATED CONTROLS.
Comfort that works
with the seasons.
The heat pump supplies electric heating and summer cooling. The gas furnace provides backup heating when the system’s controls call for it.
The right equipment match, sizing and control settings matter. Coral can assess your existing system and discuss what a suitable replacement could involve.
Gas-furnace backup
Provides an additional heating source within a compatible, integrated system.
Okanagan settings need local confirmation. We will not apply a Lower Mainland switchover-temperature rule to your Okanagan installation.
A HELPFUL STARTING CHECKLIST
Let’s check the details
before you commit.
These are the items to review. Reported requirements below remain subject to the final new-program terms; they are not an eligibility decision.
Existing fuel & furnace age
The contractor summary reports replacement of a gas furnace at least 15 years old. We’ll check your equipment and the final age rule.
Home & location
Confirm the property type, account requirements and service-area eligibility for your installation address.
Qualifying equipment
The reported AHRI reference must cover the heat-pump outdoor unit, indoor unit and furnace model. Lennox brand alone does not establish eligibility.
Contractor credentials
Confirm gas licensing, HPCN standing, specific rebate listing and required dual-fuel training before treating the quote as rebate-eligible.
Controls & commissioning
Confirm Okanagan switchover settings and the required commissioning records, equipment photos and installation documentation.
Installation & application timing
Confirm the exact first eligible installation date, invoice rules, application deadline, income process and any rebate combinations.
October 15 needs precise clarification. The industry summary reports an October 15 return but installations “after October 15.” Do not assume an October 15 installation or earlier work qualifies.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED CAREFULLY
Before you
choose a system.
We’ll update these answers when the new official program terms are available.
What is dual fuel?
A dual-fuel system combines an electric air-source heat pump with a compatible gas furnace. Integrated controls determine when each heating source operates, and the heat pump also provides cooling.
Can I keep my existing furnace?
Do not assume that adding a heat pump to your current furnace will qualify. The reported offer is for a qualifying replacement system. We need the final rules and your exact equipment match before answering for your home.
Do I need to replace both components?
The contractor summary describes replacement with a qualifying heat-pump and furnace combination. Whether your proposed installation qualifies must be checked against the final equipment and replacement requirements.
How does switchover work in the Okanagan?
Controls switch heating sources according to the system design and settings. The rebate’s required Okanagan temperature settings must be confirmed with FortisBC; we are not publishing a regional numeric threshold yet.
Does a Costco Shop Card stack with this rebate?
We have not confirmed that combination. Both the applicable Costco promotion and FortisBC’s rules must allow it. No combined value is promised on this page.
Who applies, and when?
The industry summary reports that homeowners apply and contractors provide commissioning information and documentation. Confirm the official application process, installation dates and deadline before proceeding.
Is there additional income-qualified support?
Additional support has been reported, but we will publish its amount and thresholds only after official verification. Please do not send income documents through Coral’s general estimate form.
Can I also receive the federal heat-pump rebate?
The federal National Heat Pump Rebate is a separate announced program. Its gas and dual-fuel eligibility and any combination with this FortisBC offer remain unresolved. Do not add the advertised amounts together.
