Five reasons heat pumps are cool
A heat pump does both cooling and heating. Heat pumps are two-way air conditioners.
A heat pump costs the same as an AC to install.
“With the rebate, I spent the same on a heat pump as I would have on a new AC.” - Toronto homeowner
Heat pumps are a more comfortable form of heating than a gas furnace.
“Once I started using a heat pump to heat my home, my house felt much more comfortable in the winter and summer.” - Toronto homeowner
Heat pumps reduce your reliance on gas which is a fossil fuel.
Heat pumps use electricity, which in Ontario is fairly emissions-free, to move heat. In the winter, heat pumps move heat from the outdoors inside and in the summer, they work just like your AC does, by moving heat from your house to the outdoors cooling down your home.
Heat pumps are designed for our cold winters.
Cold-climate heat pump can work very efficiently up to -20C and can still provide heat up to -30C. When you heat with a heat pump your bills (gas and electricity) will be about the same as heating with a gas furnace. For homes that are larger and not as well insulated, a back-up source of heating is needed. This can either be a gas furnace or electric supplemental heating. As part of our support, we can calculate the estimated operational costs and help you decide between the heat pump system that works best for you.
If you keep your gas furnace, the heat pump will do most of the heating and only on cold days the furnace will be your back-up heating. You don’t need to worry about how this works, a new EcoBee thermostat will be installed to handle this. You can also go fully electric by removing your gas furnace.
