Our residential dual-fuel ducted heat pump top up offers up to $2,500 in rebates to customers who have received a Dual-Fuel Ducted Heat Pump Rebate from CleanBC.
There is an additional incentive of $1,000 available to customers who replace their furnace with an ENERGY STAR® natural gas furnace and install a heat pump.
What is a dual-fueled heat pump?
A dual-fuel ducted heat pump combines a heat pump and a natural gas or propane furnace or boiler for back up heating, distributing heat and cooling through ductwork connected to vents in each room. During mild temperatures, the heat pump operates as the primary space heating device. When the outside temperature drops below a certain temperature, the heat pump shuts off and heating is provided by a natural gas or propane furnace.
Using a dual-fuel space heating system offers efficient and reliable heating even in the coldest of temperatures and provides cooling during the warm summer months. A dual-fuel space heating system offers significant natural gas savings and GHG reductions.
