Heat pump installation in Ottawa

Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps keep heating well below -20°C. On the very coldest nights, a backup takes over: your existing gas furnace in a hybrid setup, or electric heat in an all-electric system. We size it so that happens only a handful of days a year.

Often, yes, and it's usually the most cost-effective first step. The heat pump replaces your air conditioner and does most of the heating, and the furnace becomes the backup. We check your furnace's age and condition first. Pairing a new heat pump with a furnace that's near the end of its life rarely makes sense.

A hybrid install that replaces an existing air conditioner is usually done in one day. Full system replacements or ductless installs with several indoor heads can take two to three days.

In most homes, yes, especially compared with electric baseboards, oil or propane. Compared with natural gas, the savings depend on gas and electricity rates and on how the backup is set up. We'll walk through realistic numbers for your house instead of quoting a headline percentage.

It's an outdoor unit that blows air out the side instead of the top. That makes it slimmer, so it fits narrow side yards and tight lots where a traditional square condenser won't. We install the Goodman SD Series.

Once a year. Because a heat pump runs in both summer and winter, it works more hours than an air conditioner does. A yearly check of refrigerant charge, coils, drainage and electrical keeps it efficient and is usually required to keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
