If you’ve been thinking about replacing your old furnace or baseboard heaters, there has never been a better time. Heat pumps have become the go-to solution for Victoria and Vancouver Island homeowners who want efficient heating and cooling year-round — and the best part? BC rebates now make it more affordable than ever.
At AE Electric & HVAC Systems Ltd, we help homeowners navigate rebate programs and choose the right system for their home. Here are the top five reasons why 2025 is the perfect year to make the switch.
1. Massive Rebates and Incentives Available
Did you know that BC homeowners can receive up to $11,000 in rebates for a qualifying heat pump installation?
Programs like CleanBC, Federal Greener Homes, and local utility rebates can cover a large portion of your installation cost.
Example: a typical ductless mini-split installation in Victoria may qualify for $5,000–$9,000 in combined rebates depending on equipment and home type.
At AE Electric & HVAC Systems Ltd, we handle all rebate paperwork for you — so you get every dollar you qualify for.

2. Lower Monthly Energy Bills
Unlike electric baseboards or furnaces that burn fuel, heat pumps move heat instead of generating it — using up to three times less energy.
That means lower monthly bills for both heating and cooling.
Many Victoria homeowners report saving $500–$1,200 per year after switching to a modern high-efficiency heat pump.
And with rebates covering the up-front cost, the system often pays for itself within a few years.
3. Year-Round Comfort — Heating and Cooling in One System
Victoria’s climate is perfect for heat pumps — mild winters and cool summers.
A modern system keeps your home warm in January and comfortable in July, all from the same equipment.
No need for separate furnaces and A/C units anymore.
Ductless options mean you can control the temperature in each room — perfect for older homes or home additions.
4. Environmentally Friendly Choice
Switching to a heat pump is one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint.
BC Hydro estimates that a typical home can cut its greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% by switching from a gas furnace to a heat pump.
Since BC’s electricity comes mostly from clean hydropower, your home runs on renewable energy most of the year.
Tip: Ask our team about combining solar and heat pumps for even greater savings and sustainability.

Home buyers in Victoria are actively looking for energy-efficient upgrades.
Installing a heat pump can raise your home’s value and make it more attractive on the market.
Plus, you get quieter operation, improved air quality, and consistent temperature control in every room.
