Heat pumps

How heat pumps keep Canadian homes comfortable

A heat pump moves heat instead of creating it by burning fuel — which is why it can deliver more heat energy than the electricity it uses.

One system, two jobs

In winter, the outdoor unit extracts heat from outside air — even when it's well below freezing — and moves it indoors.

In summer, the process reverses, pulling heat out of your home just like an air conditioner.

Cold-climate models are engineered to keep heating at low temperatures. Output and efficiency still decline in extreme cold, so systems are typically designed with backup heat.

Which type is right for your home?

Ducted (central) heat pumps

Connect to your existing ductwork and replace a central air conditioner. A good fit for homes with ducts in reasonable condition.

Ductless mini-splits

Wall-mounted indoor units serve individual rooms or zones. Ideal for homes with baseboard heating, additions, or no ductwork.

Hybrid (dual-fuel) systems

A heat pump paired with your existing furnace. The heat pump handles most of the year; the furnace helps in the coldest weather.

We recommend a system after reviewing your home, ductwork, electrical service and goals.
