Heat Pump Cost and Rebates in Greater Vancouver
Heat pumps cost more upfront than furnaces, but rebates and lower running costs change the math.
Heat pump pricing in Greater Vancouver varies widely with type and size — but BC's rebates are among the most generous in Canada.
Typical costs
Ducted central heat pumps and ductless mini-splits span a broad range installed, depending on capacity, zones and electrical work. A load calculation gives an accurate quote for your home.
Rebates and running cost
CleanBC and FortisBC offer substantial heat-pump rebates, and efficient operation lowers running costs versus electric resistance heat — improving lifetime value.
Key takeaways
- Get a load-calculated quote, not a guess
- Stack CleanBC and utility/municipal rebates
- Factor in cooling value and lower running cost
- Ask about income-qualified top-ups
