Reliable Heating and Smart Transition Options for Oil-Heated Homes
Still using an oil furnace? While oil systems provide strong, consistent heat, many homeowners on Vancouver Island are upgrading to cleaner, more energy-efficient alternatives to avoid paying so much for oil tank refill service, which can cost you half as much in one year as replacing the entire system (which will last a few decades)! At ServiceXCEL, we are here to help you maintain your existing system or make the switch to a more cost effective option.
We offer expert service, repair, and replacement of residential oil furnaces, as well as full support for transitioning to heat pumps or dual fuel systems that qualify for rebates. Check in with us to see if there are any greater rebates available too, as they do come up from time to time.

Smart Transition Tips: Moving Away from Oil Heating
- What are my options for replacing an oil furnace?
You can switch to a ducted heat pump, a dual fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace), or a fully electric furnace. We’ll help you choose the best system for your home and lifestyle. - Will I save money on energy bills?
Yes – most homeowners see immediate savings when switching from oil to electric or hybrid systems. Plus, maintenance and repair costs tend to be lower long-term. - Can I keep my existing ducts?
In some cases, yes. We assess your ductwork to ensure compatibility and recommend upgrades only if necessary. Old oil furnace ductwork often does require at least some modification to be compatible with newer systems. - Are there rebates for switching from oil?
Definitely. If you’re replacing oil with a qualified electric or heat pump system, you may be eligible for up to $11,000 in combined government rebates. We handle the paperwork to help you get the most back in rebates. - Is this a messy or complicated process?
Not at all. Our team handles everything from oil tank removal coordination to full system replacement; minimizing disruption to your home.
