EnerChoice™ Fireplace Program
We think: Everyone could use a little ambience with their energy efficiency.
Saving money on an EnerChoice natural gas fireplace wouldn't hurt either, and if you purchase and install one by March 31, 2011, you may qualify for $150 rebate from Terasen Gas.
Reach for the remote, instead of the axe
If you're chopping wood or using an inefficient decorator type natural gas fireplace to keep warm, you're wasting energy. Not only yours, but the environment's.
Add to your home's warmth and ambience and help the environment by upgrading your existing natural gas fireplace or converting your wood hearth to an EnerChoice fireplace. Most models have a remote control option, so instead of lifting the axe, you'll only have to lift a finger to turn it on.
What is an EnerChoice fireplace?
All fireplaces sold in Canada have an EnerGuide™ label that tells you how energy efficient it is. There is no ENERGY STAR rating for fireplaces, so in BC, manufacturers developed the EnerChoice designation to identify the most efficient models.
When shopping for a new fireplace look for this logo. It means that the model is among the top 25 percentile of efficiency.To qualify for EnerChoice status hearths must have minimum efficiency ratings of:
- 62.4 per cent or higher for fireplaces
- 61 per cent or higher for inserts
- 66 per cent or higher for free-standing stoves
