Connected thermostat rebates

A connected thermostat can be programmed to automatically turn down the temperature when you’re out, or asleep, helping you save money on heating and cooling costs.

1. The home must have:
• a residential FortisBC natural gas account and/or
• a residential FortisBC or municipal electricity account of Grand Forks, Penticton, Summerland or Nelson Hydro
2. If the registered owner of the property where upgrades were made is not the utility account holder (e.g. landlord/tenant) the owner must have the account holder complete the Utility Account Holder Consent form.
3. The home must be a year-round primary residence at least 12 months old and be either a single-family detached, duplex, triplex, row home, townhouse or mobile home on a permanent foundation.
4. Applications must be submitted within six months of the paid invoice date.
5. Rebates cannot exceed the paid cost on the invoice.
6. Only one connected thermostat rebate per home, and it must be connected to the home’s primary space heating system. A primary space heating system is a furnace, boiler, combination system or an air source heat pump. Gas fireplaces are considered secondary space heating systems. Not applicable for baseboard heating.
7. The primary space heating system's energy source must be provided by FortisBC, Summerland, Penticton, Nelson or Grand Forks.
8. To be eligible for the connected thermostat rebate, the qualifying thermostat must have been installed by a Technical Safety BC licensed contractor with a GST number and a valid B.C. business license at the same time as the new heating system is installed or as part of a maintenance program for your heating system. Self-installations are not eligible under this program.
