Why not get the heat pump with an inline gas furnace then? There is the clean BC rebates for the heat pump, there is a dual fuel rebate from the gas company to get the gas furnace, and everyone north of 100 Mile House gets the northern top up of a few thousand more on top of the other rebates.

I just got approved for the clean BC rebates, one thing I'm annoyed by is that the rebates go to the accepted installer and the other installers I know in town will install everything cheaper, the accepted installer ups the price of everything so you just pay the same as everyone else and the rebate goes to them as a padding in their pocket. At least the Fortis rebates go straight to the home owner.

That's how business works. They take from the government and then complain about taxes.

Yeah I really wish it was end user rebates so the installer doesn't need to know that the rebates are involved at all.
