Fortis BC High Efficiency Furnace Promotion

web-form-mailer@ecowest.ca (Brendon McLeod) — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:53:57 +0000

The fall season is upon us and temperatures are dropping, but many Vancouver and Lower Mainland homeowners are still using old home-heating solutions like oil or propane. Not only are these heating technologies less efficient, resulting in higher home heating bills, but they don't burn as clean as natural gas options, causing more pollution.

For those homeowners thinking of making the switch to a cleaner burning, high efficiency furnace or boiler, Fortis BC has created a great new promotion: Get $800 back when you replace your old model with a qualifying high efficiency furnace or boiler. Combined with the Livesmart BC Grant that's up to $1,400 in rebates! Visit the Fortis BC website for more information on the high efficiency furnace promotion and how you can qualify, and contact Ecowest today to book a Free In-Home Estimate with our heating and fireplace specialist.

Complete Your Home Renovations Before the HST Deadline

If you live in British Columbia then you've undoubtedly heard about the HST and the vote that decided the fate of our province’s tax structure. On April 1, 2013, British Columbia will be reverting to the old dual tax system of GST and PST. This upcoming reversion is creating a great deal of confusion for both consumers and businesses alike. As a result, many homeowners are choosing to “wait and see” before making a decision on their home renovations. In truth, it may be wiser to act now, before the HST deadline comes to pass...and here’s why!
