Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has announced $103.7 million in funding to help British Columbians switch to heat pumps from oil and other fossil fuel furnaces, saying it will bring down home energy costs.

The money will come from Canada’s Low Carbon Economy Fund (LCEF) and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program, while the B.C. government will partner by offering an additional $151 million.
