What is a Heat Pump? Many find it hard to explain with long winded explanations, but I feel I can get you to understand it in about 5 sentences!
You know how an Air Conditioner gets Cold inside and Warm outside?
A Heat Pump can choose to flip that.
A heat pump on heat mode will become Warm inside and Cold outside.
(It's like an air conditioner that can choose to go backwards)
As long as the temperature outside is above -30°C (-22°F) our Air Source Heat Pumps can work at 100% capacity.
What happens below -30°C?
What happens below -30°C?
Good question, we sure do go below -30°C here sometimes. For cases where the Heat Pump won't work, a backup heat source is needed wether it be electric or gas. The existing furnace, an emergency electric heat coil, or even a wood stove will all do the job.
Why should you even bother installing a Heat Pump system if you're still going to need a backup heat source anyway?

Check out our Savings Calculator, heat pumps are crazy efficient and will cut your heating bill in half (or more).
Heat Pumps also function as Air Conditioners! Only slightly more than the cost of installing an A/C system, you get a system that is cheaper to run than a conventional A/C, and cheaper to run than your conventional furnace!
Cut your heating bill in half? How?
Cut your heating bill in half? How?
Heat Pumps work on the principal of moving heat rather than creating heat.
Simile: Just like how it would be cheaper to pay someone to move an existing box from outside into your house, rather than paying them to build the same box inside your house from scratch. The final result either way is that the box is now inside your house.
This is the principal heat pumps use, rather than creating heat (like burning gas), they are simply moving heat.
Where does the heat come from?
Where does the heat come from?
Outside! You get the heat for free and only pay to move and concentrate it. As long as the temperature outside is above absolute zero (−273.15°C), there is still heat energy. (However current heat pumps can't gather enough energy at anything below -35°C)
