ENERGY STAR® heating system upgrade offer
Blue is the new green
Natural gas is an important contributor to BC's economy and its energy mix. Used in energy efficient appliances and equipment, natural gas is a good choice for the environment. .
This offer applies only in the following regions:
• Lower Mainland • Squamish • East Kootenays (Columbia) • Interior (Inland)
Furnaces and boilers that are more than 13 years old are likely low-efficiency models, averaging between 60 and 70 per cent AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). In other words they only produce 60 to 70 cents worth of heat for every dollar spent on heating.
ENERGY STAR natural gas furnaces can perform up to 97% AFUE. ENERGY STAR boilers perform at a minimum of 85 per cent.
Cut costs, not comfort
- Receive a $250 credit on your Terasen Gas bill when you upgrade your natural gas furnace or boiler to an ENERGY STAR natural gas heating system before
