What we cover
How it works
Heat Pumps, made simple
A heat pump is one system that both heats and cools — by moving heat instead of burning fuel, which is why it's so efficient.
- 01
Cools in summer
It works exactly like an air conditioner, pulling heat out of your home.
- 02
Heats in winter
It runs in reverse, pulling heat from the outdoor air — even cold air has usable heat — and bringing it inside.
- 03
Moves, doesn't burn
Because it moves heat rather than making it, it delivers two to three units of heat for every unit of electricity.
Your options
Heat Pumps options, explained
We size and install the right system for your home — not a catalogue. Here are the choices we fit most often, and who each one is for.
- Most popular
Central Heat Pump
Heats and cools your whole home from one outdoor unit through your existing ducts — like a fridge running in reverse.
Best for: ducted homes going efficient
- Heats + cools
- Uses existing ducts
Ductless Mini-Split
Room-by-room heating and cooling with no ductwork — ideal for additions, older homes, or a single problem room.
Best for: homes without ducts
- No ductwork
- Zoned
Ducted Air Handler
The indoor half of a ducted heat-pump system — it moves conditioned air through your home's ductwork, paired with an outdoor unit.
Best for: ducted homes
- Pairs with a heat pump
- Quiet airflow
What size do I need?
Sizing your heat pumps the right way
A heat pump is sized for both jobs it does. The ballpark above is a starting point — in our climate we size carefully so it carries the winter heating load, not just summer cooling.
Measured in tons (heating + cooling)
Often around one ton per 500–600 square feet, like an AC
A rule of thumb gets you in the ballpark — but an oversized system short-cycles: it blasts on, shuts off, and wastes energy while heating or cooling unevenly. The right size comes from a proper load calculation, not a square-footage formula.
What we measure
- Square footage, layout, and ceiling height
- Insulation and how well the home is sealed
- Windows — size, number, and which way they face
- Our climate — cold winters and humid summers
We confirm the exact size during a free in-home assessment — so you get a system that fits your home, not a guess.

- Heats and cools the whole home from one system
- No wall units to see
- Uses your existing ducts
Ductless mini-split
Best for additions, no-duct rooms, and zoning
- No ductwork needed
- Room-by-room temperature control
- Ideal for additions and older homes

Common problems we solve
Heat Pumps issues we fix
Choosing the right system
Ducted vs ductless, and whether a cold-climate model fits your home. We help you pick based on your space and goals.
Sizing for Ontario winters
An undersized heat pump leans on backup heat constantly. We size for real GTA temperatures.
Pairing with existing heating
Many homes run a heat pump with a backup furnace. We set up the controls so they switch cleanly.
Getting the rebates right
Incentive programs have paperwork and eligibility rules. We install to qualifying standards.
Repair or replace?
Signs it's time to act on your heat pumps
Repair or replace? Newer cold-climate heat pumps hold their output far better in GTA winters. If yours can't keep up or needs a major repair, an upgrade often pays for itself — and may qualify for current rebates.

What affects the cost
What affects the price
Every home is different, so we quote in writing after we see yours — no guesswork numbers online. Here's what actually moves the price.
Ducted vs ductless
Central ducted vs one or more ductless mini-split heads changes scope and cost.
Cold-climate capability
Low-temperature models that hold output in deep cold cost more than standard units.
Backup heat setup
Pairing with a backup furnace and wiring the changeover controls correctly.
Rebate eligibility
Installing to qualifying standards can offset cost through current incentives — see our rebates page.
Electrical capacity
Some homes need a panel or circuit upgrade to support a heat pump.

Questions, answered
Heat Pumps FAQs
Does a heat pump work in Toronto winters?
Cold-climate heat pumps are built for low temperatures. Many GTA homes pair one with a backup furnace for the coldest days.
Ducted or ductless — which is right for me?
Ducted suits homes with existing ductwork; ductless mini-splits suit additions, older homes, or room-by-room control. We assess and recommend.
Are heat pumps eligible for rebates?
Qualifying heat pump installs can be eligible for current Ontario incentives. We install to the standards those programs require — see our rebates page.
Will a heat pump lower my bills?
Heat pumps are efficient for both heating and cooling. Actual savings depend on your current system and energy rates.
