Efficient Boiler Program
Program overview
The Terasen Gas Efficient Boiler Program is designed to encourage the use of high-efficiency, natural gas hydronic space-heating systems in commercial applications. If you're a commercial building owner, developer, consulting engineer or contractor, we can help you select an efficient boiler configuration for your project. What's more, you can increase the energy efficiency of your system and lower your costs by taking advantage of financial incentives for installing or upgrading to condensing or near-condensing boilers.
This offer is funded jointly by Terasen Gas and Natural Resources Canada.

Incentives*
For all participants, the purchase price incentive applies to the incremental purchase price of a natural gas near-condensing or condensing boiler over the purchase price of a standard-efficiency boiler. Purchase price incentives are based upon space-heating and ventilating load. They will be calculated as follows:
- near-condensing boilers - $4,000 per boiler
plus $3 per MBH plant input - condensing boilers - $6,000 per boiler
plus $9 per MBH plant input
The purchase price of a standard-efficiency boiler will be estimated using $7 per MBH of the input required to meet the space-heating load and ventilating load.
In new construction
We will contribute 50 per cent of a consultant's fees to a maximum of $1,500 toward the cost of analyzing the annual gas usage for space heating using a standard-efficiency boiler system versus a higher efficiency boiler system. Purchase price incentive payments are limited to a maximum of 75 per cent of the purchase price premium over a standard-efficiency boiler.
