Common Questions

Homeowners can access the CleanBC Better Homes program, which offers up to $16,000 for income-qualified households. Additionally, FortisBC provides a standard rebate of up to $4,000 for air-source heat pumps, though the $10,000 dual-fuel bonus ended in late 2025.

The City of Kelowna charges a minimum building permit fee of $175. For larger HVAC projects, the fee is typically calculated at 1.14% of the total construction value. Most contractors include this in their $300–$500 permit and disposal line item.

In 2026, Kelowna-based HVAC contractors typically charge between $100 and $150 per hour per technician. A standard full system replacement usually requires a two-person crew for 8 to 16 hours of total site work.

Costs have risen by approximately 8-10% due to the mandatory transition to new refrigerants (R-454B and R-32) and stricter federal efficiency standards. These regulatory changes require more expensive equipment components and specialized technician training.
