These rebates are for new gas customers in existing homes (not new construction) who requested a new FortisBC gas service line within six months before the install. Apply within 90 days of the paid invoice (for the bonus, by June 30, 2027 at the latest).

Details on FortisBCHeat pump water heater rebates
Planned swaps from an electric tank to a heat pump water heater carry the largest water heater rebates. Swapping one gas tank for another has no standard FortisBC rebate right now, but income-qualified households can get up to $3,000 (see the next section).
Before you start: Check your electricity bill first. The FortisBC heat pump water heater rebates are only for FortisBC electric customers (or Grand Forks, Penticton, Summerland or Nelson Hydro). If BC Hydro sends your power bill, use the BC Hydro rebate instead. The FortisBC and BC Hydro heat pump water heater rebates are for replacing an electric water heater that is the home's main one. FortisBC also needs the old tank to still be working, so emergency replacements do not qualify. The CleanBC Energy Savings Program also covers homes switching from natural gas, propane or oil water heating. Check the program rules before an urgent swap. A heat pump water heater only suits some spaces; we will tell you honestly if yours is one, and any new wiring is done by an electrician where required.
$1,000
Heat pump water heater: FortisBC electric customers
For FortisBC electric customers replacing a working standard electric tank with a qualifying heat pump water heater. Planned swaps only: emergency replacements do not qualify. Apply within six months of the paid invoice. A $300 bonus is available if you also make a second eligible upgrade.
Details on FortisBCUp to $1,000
Heat pump water heater: BC Hydro customers
For BC Hydro customers replacing an electric primary water heater with a qualifying heat pump water heater. Self-installs do not qualify, and neither does an emergency replacement of a broken heat pump water heater. Apply within six months of the invoice.
Details on BC Hydro$2,500
Heat pump water heater: FortisBC, income qualified

Details on FortisBCUp to $3,500
CleanBC Energy Savings Program
Income-qualified heat pump water heater rebate. You pre-register and get a code before any work starts, and the install has to be done by a contractor registered with the Energy Savings Program (see the program page for the list).
Details on CleanBC Better HomesGas water heater rebates for income-qualified homes
FortisBC pays up to $3,000 to income-qualified households that replace a working natural gas or propane water heater with a high-efficiency condensing tankless or condensing tank.
Before you start: This rebate is only for income-qualified households. Your combined yearly household income has to be under the FortisBC limit for your household size: $51,100 for 1 person, $63,600 for 2, $78,200 for 3, $94,900 for 4, $107,600 for 5, $121,400 for 6, and $135,100 for 7 or more, with proof of income. You have to own and live in the home year-round and own no other property in BC. The home has to be at least 10 years old, no larger than 3,500 sq ft and assessed under $1.2 million. The old natural gas or propane water heater has to still be working (the replacement we install is natural gas; we do not work on propane appliances). The install must be done by a gas contractor licensed with Technical Safety BC (self-installs do not qualify). Apply within six months of the invoice. It cannot be combined with any other FortisBC, provincial or federal rebate.

Talk to us first, before you buy anything
Call us at (250) 859-3548, or fill out the quote form. Tell us what water heater you have now and how many people live in the home. Only certain models qualify, so buying the wrong one can cost you the rebate.
We pick a water heater that qualifies
We choose a condensing tankless or condensing tank from the FortisBC list of eligible models that is the right size for your home.
We take out the old one and put in the new one
We safely disconnect your old gas water heater, install the new one under a gas permit, and take the old tank away so you do not have to deal with it.
You get an invoice with everything FortisBC asks for
The invoice shows the make and model, the purchase date, the gas permit number and our Technical Safety BC licence number. Keep it, because you need it to apply.
You apply online within six months
Apply on the FortisBC website with your FortisBC account number, your email, proof of income and the paid invoice. If you are not comfortable applying online, ask a family member to help, or call the FortisBC income-qualified team at 1-855-909-2331. FortisBC says applications can take up to 90 days to process.
How we help you claim
Tell us what you have now and what you are thinking of doing, and we will tell you which rebates fit before you buy anything. The FortisBC gas programs need a gas contractor licensed with Technical Safety BC, which we are (LGA0212697), and the switch-to-gas rebates also ask for the gas permit number and our licence number on the invoice. The heat pump water heater programs are electric programs with their own contractor rules, listed on each program page.
Amounts and rules are set by the programs and can change, so always check the official page before you buy. For anything not listed here, CleanBC’s rebate finder asks a short set of questions and shows provincial and utility rebates you may qualify for.
