Ontario heat pump considerations
Replacing oil, propane or baseboard
Homes off the gas network often see the largest operating-cost change when converting to a heat pump.
Natural gas homes
Fully electric and hybrid (heat pump + gas furnace) designs are both options; we compare them using your actual usage.
Eastern vs. southern Ontario
Ottawa and Kingston design temperatures are colder than Toronto or Hamilton, which affects sizing and backup heat planning.
Electrical capacity
Older homes may need panel planning or load management before adding a heat pump and other electric loads.
Frequently asked questions
