Natural gas wall furnace rebate

Up to $2,600 in rebates available when you pre-qualify for the Wall Furnace Program between October 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023.

Install a natural gas direct vent wall furnace for efficient heating in a small space, and you could be eligible for a rebate of $700 + $500 bonus for a limited time. Add a natural gas water heater at the same time for an additional $400 rebate.

You can also apply for an additional rebate of $200 to $1,000 through our Home Renovation Rebate Program if you install an eligible natural gas high-efficiency water heater.

A wall furnace—also known as a direct vent room heater—can be added to your home’s existing heating system to reach those cold spots in your garage, basement or workshop, or provide cost-effective heating for a home where the ducts and venting required by a central heating system aren’t feasible, such as a cabin or laneway house.

Natural gas customers can choose to sign up for Renewable Natural Gas, which works seamlessly with regular natural gas appliances like wall furnaces and water heaters.
