Heat Pumps
Installation, Repair, Replacement
How do heat pumps work?
A heat pump does not generate heat, rather it moves the heat from one place to another. Unlike a furnace which produces heat, heat pumps absorb heat from outside air in cold temperatures and transfer it inside the home. When in cooling mode, a heat pump operates in the same way as an air conditioner, extracting heat from the indoor air and discharging it outdoors. An advantage of installing an air source heat pump is that it is more energy efficient than a furnace, meaning it can help reduce your electricity bills.
What is involved with installing a heat pump?
- To install a heat pump, you have go through a process of having an energy audit to first see if you’re house is eligible for it, while subsequently going through the application process for the Canada Greener Homes Grant.
- Next you have to book a pre-retrofit evaluation from a service organization near your area. Note: You are eligible to receive $600 in reimbursement.
- Once approved, you can plan and complete installation of a new heat pump system with certified HVAC technician(s).
- Lastly, schedule a post-retrofit energy audit and receive your $600 reimbursement, and eventually up to $6500 from the grants/rebates program!

Additionally, heat pumps operate at a lower temperature than traditional heating systems, reducing the risk of burns or fire.
