Answer 5 quick questions and find out if switching to a heat pump makes sense for your home, climate, and lifestyle.
Central duct systems allow for a ducted heat pump. Without ducts, a ductless mini-split is still an option but at higher cost.
Heat pumps perform best in moderate climates. Cold-climate models now work well even in very cold regions.
A heat pump is a long-term investment. Longer stays mean better return on investment.

GET FREE QUOTES| Your Situation | Worth It? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Electric baseboard heating, any province | ✅ Yes — Strongly | Immediate 50–70% reduction in heating costs |
| Oil or propane heating | ✅ Yes — Strongly | High fuel costs make payback very fast (3–7 years) |
| Gas heating in BC or Quebec | ✅ Yes — Good ROI | Low electricity rates + rebates make it compelling |
| Gas heating in Ontario (staying 10+ yrs) | ✅ Yes — with rebates | Carbon pricing makes gas increasingly expensive |
| Gas heating in Alberta (staying <5 yrs) | ⚠️ Maybe | Gas still cheap but rising carbon costs; evaluate with rebates |
Yes — studies show homes with heat pumps sell faster and command a premium, especially in provinces where buyers value lower operating costs and environmental performance. In BC and Ontario, a heat pump is increasingly seen as a standard feature in well-updated homes.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed for Canada. The Mitsubishi Hyper Heat, Daikin Aurora, and similar models maintain full capacity to –25°C and continue operating (with reduced output) to –30°C. For extreme cold regions, a dual-fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace backup) provides complete peace of mind.
In most Canadian provinces — especially those with low-carbon electricity like BC, Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba — a heat pump dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions versus a gas furnace, even accounting for electricity generation. As Canada's electricity grid continues to decarbonize, the environmental benefits will only grow.
A heat pump-only system runs on electricity for all heating. A hybrid system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace — the heat pump handles most heating (the efficient part), while the gas furnace kicks in only on the coldest days. Hybrids are popular in Ontario and Alberta where extreme cold is common and natural gas is readily available.
