Boiler Efficiency and BC Rebates
High-efficiency condensing boilers cut bills and qualify for FortisBC and CleanBC rebates.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing boiler lowers your gas use and can unlock meaningful BC rebates.
How condensing boilers save
Condensing boilers recover heat from flue gases, reaching 90–95%+ AFUE versus 60–80% for old units — a substantial cut in gas use and bills.
BC rebates
FortisBC and CleanBC offer incentives for qualifying high-efficiency installations by registered contractors. Eligibility depends on the model and program rules, which we confirm for you.
Key takeaways
- Look for 95% AFUE condensing models
- Use a program-registered contractor for rebates
- Combine boiler and controls upgrades for more savings
- We handle the rebate paperwork
