Dual Fuel Heat Pump RTU Replacement for Abbotsford BC Non Profit - $21,000+ FortisBC Rebate

Thermacool Mechanical replaced two failing standard gas rooftop units with high efficiency Dual Fuel Hybrid Heat Pump RTUs for the Abbotsford BC Home Society, a local non-profit organization.

The original gas RTUs were nearing end of life and becoming unreliable, so we recommended upgrading to dual fuel hybrid heat pump technology instead of a like-for-like gas replacement. Dual fuel systems use an electric heat pump for efficient day-to-day heating and cooling, with gas backup for extreme cold, giving the building lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and a longer equipment lifespan compared to a standard gas-only unit.

Because the project qualified under FortisBC's Dual Fuel Rooftop Unit Rebate for Non-Profit Organizations, the Home Society received a 50% rebate and recovered over $21,000 toward the cost of the upgrade, all while installing higher-efficiency equipment than a standard replacement.

Why this matters for other non-profits and businesses in the Fraser Valley:

Non-profit organizations can qualify for a 50% rebate, and standard commercial businesses can qualify for a 30% rebate, on dual fuel heat pump RTU upgrades through FortisBC. If your organization has aging gas rooftop units, this is one of the most cost-effective times to upgrade. You end up with a more efficient, more reliable system and a significant chunk of the cost covered by the utility.
