Heat pumps for Canadian homes

A heat pump moves heat instead of creating it by burning fuel, which is why it can deliver more heat energy than it consumes in electricity. Modern cold-climate units are designed to keep working well below freezing.

Choosing the right heat pump

What a proper installation includes

  • Room-by-room heat loss calculation, not rule-of-thumb sizing
  • Assessment of ductwork and airflow
  • Electrical capacity review
  • Backup or auxiliary heat strategy for extreme cold
  • Thermostat and controls set up for the heat pump

Replacing fossil fuel heating

Switching from oil, propane or electric baseboard often produces the largest operating-cost change. See our dedicated pages for oil and propane conversions.

Frequently asked questions

Do heat pumps work in Ontario winters?

Cold-climate models are designed for Canadian winters. Efficiency drops as temperatures fall, so systems are designed with a plan for the coldest days.

Can I keep my furnace?

Yes. A dual-fuel or hybrid setup uses the heat pump most of the year and the furnace during extreme cold.
