Natural gas wall furnace rebate

Connect your home to natural gas and choose eligible heating and hot water systems for rebates from $700 to $2,700.

Natural gas wall furnace rebate

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.

Eligibility

  1. All new natural gas direct vent wall furnaces that meet BC code requirements are eligible.
  2. This program is for existing homes only and is not available for new construction.
  3. Only one rebate per appliance or system installed per household. 

Review all the terms and conditions.
