Scarborough Furnace to Heat Pump Conversion
A Scarborough family replaced their failing 22-year-old furnace with a Daikin cold-climate heat pump, earning a $5,000 CGHI rebate and cutting energy costs dramatically.
Project Date: November 2024
The Challenge
The family's furnace was over two decades old and failing. Energy bills for heating were climbing, and they wanted to take advantage of the Clean Gas and Green Heating Initiative (CGHI) rebate program before the deadline.
Our Solution
We installed a Daikin Fit cold-climate heat pump as their primary heating source, paired with electric backup heating for extreme cold snaps. The system was optimized for Toronto's climate with proper refrigerant charge and airflow testing.
The Results
The family now saves $1,800 per year on heating costs, received a $5,000 provincial rebate, and eliminated their reliance on natural gas for heating. The heat pump runs efficiently even in sub-zero temperatures.
"We were skeptical that a heat pump would work in Toronto winters, but the Daikin system has been incredible. Our bills dropped immediately, and we qualified for the rebate. It's been the best decision for our home and the environment."
— The Chen Family, Scarborough
