Homeowners can stack CleanBC, BC Hydro, and federal grants to save between $6,000 and $11,000+. In some cases, replacing a fossil fuel system with a high-efficiency heat pump can result in a net out-of-pocket cost as low as $1,500 to $3,000.
Yes, but the City of Victoria implemented a 'Permit Fee Holiday' effective from January 29, 2026, to January 29, 2027. While you must still apply for a permit, the standard 1.4% construction value fee is currently waived to encourage energy-efficient home upgrades.
Prices have risen by approximately 8-15% due to the industry-wide transition to new refrigerants (R-32 and R-454B) and higher costs for raw materials like copper, which reached record highs of nearly $12,000 per metric ton in 2026.
A standard gas furnace replacement typically costs $4,500–$8,500, whereas a central ducted heat pump ranges from $12,000–$18,500. However, the heat pump provides both heating and cooling and qualifies for significantly higher rebates.
