Why a Heat Pump?
-
Two systems in one: Efficient cooling in summer and heating in winter
-
Lower operating costs: Variable-speed compressors modulate output to save energy
-
Quieter & steadier comfort: Long, low-speed cycles reduce temperature swings
-
Cleaner air: Continuous fan options improve filtration and IAQ
-
Low-carbon heating: Reduce emissions versus conventional heating alone

-
In-Home Assessment & Sizing
Room-by-room Manual J, duct evaluation, return/supply balance, electrical capacity, and line-set routing. -
Equipment Matching
We present good/better/best options (SEER2/HSPF2, inverter tech, sound levels dB(A)) that fit your home, budget, and goals. -
Code-Compliant Installation
Licensed, insured techs handle pad/hanging hardware, line-sets, drain & condensate, electrical disconnects, and permits. -
Refrigerant Best Practices
Nitrogen pressure test, deep vacuum to ≤ 500 microns, factory weigh-in charge, and superheat/subcool verification. -
Commissioning & Training
Airflow & static-pressure checks, temperature split, thermostat/app setup, and a clean walkthrough of maintenance basics.
-
Ducted Air-Source Heat Pumps
Ideal for homes with existing ductwork; delivers whole-home comfort and easier filter upgrades (4–5″ media cabinets). -
Ductless Mini-Splits (Single or Multi-Zone)
Great for additions, homes without ducts, or solving hot/cold rooms. Discreet wall, floor, or ceiling cassettes. -
Cold-Climate Heat Pumps (CCHP)
Variable-capacity systems engineered to maintain heating output at sub-zero temps; options for base-pan heaters and crankcase heat.
-
Design Temperature: We size for GTA winters and specify models that hold capacity at low ambient temps.
-
Defrost Strategy: Intelligent defrost limits comfort dips and energy use.
-
Backup/Hybrid Heat: Optional furnace or electric strip heat for extreme cold; we set smart switchover points for cost and comfort.
-
Drainage & Snow Management: Proper clearances, elevated stands, and heated pans where recommended.
-
Smart Thermostats (ecobee): Scheduling, geofencing, and energy reports.
-
Filtration: MERV 8–13 options; pair with variable-speed blowers for better capture.
-
Humidity Control: Whole-home humidifiers/dehumidifiers for year-round comfort.
-
Ventilation: HRV/ERV systems to bring in fresh, filtered air.
-
Good: Ducted inverter heat pump, SEER2 15–16 / HSPF2 8–9, ECM blower
-
For: Balanced comfort & value, whole-home coverage
-
-
Better: Ducted inverter, SEER2 17–18 / HSPF2 9–10, ultra-quiet outdoor unit
-
For: Lower bills, quieter operation, improved dehumidification
-
-
Best (Cold-Climate): Variable-capacity with enhanced low-ambient performance, advanced defrost, smart controls
-
For: Maximum comfort and heating capacity in deep winter
-
(Model availability varies; we quote multiple options.)
-
Transparent quotes with line-item details (equipment, labour, materials).
-
Rebates & Incentives: We identify eligible programs for high-efficiency heat pumps and handle all paperwork.
-
Flexible financing & rentals to keep upfront costs low (on approved credit).
-
Protection & Removal of old equipment (if applicable)
-
Mounting & Line-Set (flare/braze with nitrogen purge), condensate management
-
Electrical & Controls (dedicated circuit, disconnect, thermostat setup)
-
Evacuation & Charging (≤ 500 microns, factory-specified charge)
-
Commissioning (airflow/static, superheat/subcool, temp split)
-
Owner Orientation (filter access, app controls, maintenance schedule)
-
Registration & Warranty documentation provided
-
Annual tune-ups to verify charge, coils, and firmware settings
-
Filter changes on schedule (1″: 60–90 days; 4–5″ media: 6–12 months)
-
Clear snow/debris around outdoor unit; maintain 18–24″ clearance

Will a heat pump keep up in GTA winters?
With a cold-climate model and proper sizing, yes. We can also configure hybrid backup heat for extreme cold snaps.
Ducted or ductless—what’s better?
If you have decent ductwork, ducted offers whole-home comfort. Ductless shines for homes without ducts or for zoned room-by-room control.
Is a heat pump cheaper to run than a furnace + AC?
Often, especially with inverter systems and smart controls. We’ll compare estimated annual costs for your home and rates.
How long does installation take?
Most replacements finish in one day; multi-zone ductless or line-set re-routes may take longer.
Do I need a new electrical panel?
Sometimes. We assess panel capacity and circuits during your in-home evaluation.
Are there rebates?
Yes—programs change periodically. We’ll confirm eligibility and submit applications on your behalf.
Keep it running like new
Add our Heat Pump Protection Plan for bi-seasonal tune-ups, priority service, repair discounts, and refrigerant/defrost cycle checks. Preventive maintenance extends lifespan and preserves year-round efficiency.
