Should I get a heat pump?

Heat pumps can have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional heating systems, but they offer significant long-term savings.    In Ontario, the cost to install or replace a ducted heat pump may be $5000 to $10,000. Ontario government rebates are now available for heat pumps and other energy-saving projects in your home.

Our Town Team leader has good advice for Halton Hills residents. He has a heat pump in his own home. Here’s his column in Halton Hills Today.

There is more good information from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance here.

Heat pumps have a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil fueled furnaces because they use renewable sources like air and ground heat.

Heat pumps both heat and cool your home. Advanced models operate even in harsh winter conditions, suitable for Ontario winters.

While the upfront cost may be higher, the long-term savings on energy bills can make heat pumps a cost-effective choice. More from the Government of Canada.
