 Heating System Installation

Improve the year-round comfort level of your home with a new heat pump installation. Using existing heat to warm or cool your home is not only beneficial to the environment but to your pocketbook as well.

A heat pump installation involves air-sourced technology for existing homes and can be installed as a ground source for new constructions. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of installing a heat pump.

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

The technology behind a heat pump system is pretty simple. A heat pump provides an energy-efficient option during the colder months for homeowners in four basic steps.

  1. First, warm outdoor air is drawn into the unit. The refrigerant in the unit transforms the air into a vapour.
  2. This vapour is then compressed and heated to be released as warm air into the home through the inside portion of the heat pump.
  3. The vapour then returns to a liquid state and begins the cooling process to draw in more heat.
  4. This heating process is reversed during the cooler months as the heat pump system transfers the heat from inside the home to the outside, cooling down the interior.

Are Heat Pumps Worth the Investment?

Having the appropriate heat pump system installed is the key to ensuring the endeavour is a sound investment. Heat pumps come in a variety of types, sizes, and operations, such as electric and solar.

Heat pumps are designed to provide year-round comfort while reducing the need to use massive amounts of energy. The combination of lowering utility bills and the opportunity to receive financial assistance and/or grants with installation from commercial and government sources increases the appeal of heat pumps.

The Advantages of Installing Heat Pumps

Most homes have two separate heating and cooling systems to enjoy heat in the colder months and cool air during the hot days of summer. Installation of a heat pump system can improve year-round comfort levels while reducing energy use and costs.

Government Rebate Programs for Heat Pumps in Toronto

Did you know that there are both municipal and federal rebate programs for homeowners to take advantage of when they opt to install heat pumps in Toronto? The City of Toronto offers a Home Energy Loan Program (HELP), which provides up to $125,000 and the Canada Greener Homes Grant offers up to $5,000 to switch to heat pumps.

Under the municipal HELP plan, Toronto property homeowners may qualify for the low-interest loan, where applicable. To complete the application process, the home must undergo a pre- and post-work Home Energy Assessment.

The federal government offers the Canada Greener Home Initiative, which is available to homeowners for their primary residence with a pre-and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation as directed by the Natural Resources Canada department. Candidates must retain documents until March 31, 2028.
