NATIONAL HEAT PUMP REBATE · KELOWNA & THE OKANAGAN
A new federal heat-pump rebate has been announced. Let’s explore what it could mean for your home.
Thinking about replacing an aging heating system? Coral Home Comfort can help you consider your options while we await the program’s launch date and detailed eligibility rules.
Planning ahead for 2027. Application opening date to be confirmed.
WHAT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED
The Government of Canada has announced rebates for eligible homeowners installing qualifying electric cold-climate air-source heat pumps. The two announced rebate levels are shown below.
OTHER ELIGIBLE HOMEOWNERS
A rebate for homeowners who meet the program’s eligibility requirements.
Home, equipment and installation requirements still need confirmation.
ELIGIBLE BELOW-MEDIAN-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
The announced maximum applies to eligible households below the median income.
The income thresholds, verification process and amount available to each household need confirmation.
YOUR HOME. YOUR QUESTIONS.
Every home starts in a different place. We’re seeking clarity on the details that matter to Okanagan homeowners before recommending a rebate-based installation plan.
You can discuss your heating options with Coral now. A conversation or estimate does not establish rebate eligibility.
Will gas-heated homes qualify? Can a gas furnace remain as backup?
Which exact models and matched system combinations will qualify?
Which FortisBC and provincial incentives can be combined?
When will applications open, and which installation dates and contractor qualifications will be accepted?
THE ANNOUNCED APPLICATION PROCESS
The federal announcement describes the following sequence. Final application instructions and payment procedures will need to be checked when the program opens.
Submit your application through the official government portal when it becomes available.
The announced process calls for approval within 24 hours. Confirm your approved equipment before proceeding.
Arrange, purchase and install your pre-approved heat-pump system with a qualified contractor.
Submit your receipts. The announcement calls for payment approval within five days; deposit timing needs confirmation.
LOCAL GUIDANCE. YEAR-ROUND COMFORT.
From your first questions to an estimate for your home, Coral Home Comfort is here to help you understand your heating and cooling options.
We’re preparing for the new rebate so we can offer clear, practical guidance as official details become available.
A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS
We’ll update these answers as the government releases more information.
The official program page currently offers an update sign-up. We have not verified an application opening date. Coral’s interest form is separate from a government rebate application.
No. We are preparing for 2027, but a January opening has not been confirmed in the official information reviewed for this draft.
The federal announcement allows combination with provincial programs in principle. However, each participating program’s rules must allow it. Some current FortisBC programs prohibit stacking. No combined rebate amount is confirmed here.
The federal announcement says no pre- or post-installation energy audits are required for this new program. Other incentives may have different requirements.
No. Please do not send tax returns, income documents or banking information through this interest form. We will explain the official application process once confirmed.
The announced process describes homeowner reimbursement after purchase and installation. Do not assume the rebate will be deducted from Coral’s invoice. Final payment procedures are still to be verified.

HEATING YOUR HOME WITH NATURAL GAS?
Coral is also preparing information about a reported upcoming FortisBC rebate for compatible heat-pump and gas-furnace replacement systems. That offer has its own eligibility and timing requirements.
Final FortisBC rules and any combination with this federal rebate still need confirmation. Do not assume the programs can be combined. Contact Coral to discuss a free in-home estimate.
