Heat Pumps

Heats in January. Cools in July. One system.

The right size, installed once.

A cold-climate heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, so it heats and cools from one outdoor unit. Paired with your furnace or on its own, it is the biggest comfort upgrade most Ottawa homes can make.

rated heating on cold-climate models: -25°C
heating and cooling: 2in 1

Questions

Do heat pumps really work in an Ottawa winter?

Cold-climate models keep heating well below -20 °C. Output drops as it gets colder, so we size a backup (your furnace or electric heat) for the coldest nights. The quote shows exactly how that works in your home.

Are there rebates?

Sometimes. Federal, provincial and utility programs change often, so we check what applies when we quote. We never build a rebate into your price until it is confirmed.

Will my electric bill go up?

Usually your electric bill goes up and your gas or oil bill goes down by more. We show an estimate for your home with the assumptions printed, not a promise.
