Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps
An air-source heat pump is an energy-efficient solution that will keep your house warm or cool depending on the season. It offers efficient heating and cooling for your house by consuming less energy. Unlike other combustion heating systems, an air source heat pump works by transferring heat rather than converting it from fuel. Air source heat pumps are used in homes that have existing ductwork.

-
How do heat pumps work?Unlike furnaces and boilers, heat pumps don’t create heat; they redistribute it. In heating mode, they extract warmth from the outdoor air or ground and deliver it indoors. In cooling mode, they remove heat from the inside and expel it outdoors, effectively providing both heating and cooling according to your needs.
-
Are heat pumps energy efficient?Heat pumps are highly efficient when it comes to energy usage. They can have efficiencies of well over 100 per cent, and sometimes even up to 300 per cent, as they transfer heat instead of creating it. Additionally, heat pumps produce much fewer greenhouse gas emissions than natural gas furnaces, since electricity is a cleaner fuel source in Ontario.
-
How can I choose the right size heat pump for my home?To determine the appropriate size, it's best to consult an HVAC professional at Comfort NEXT Heating & Cooling. They’ll consider crucial factors such as your home’s size, insulation quality, local climate and heat loss/gain calculations. It's essential to choose the correct size heat pump for your home to ensure comfort and efficiency. Avoid the temptation to oversize your heat pump, as this can lead to reduced efficiency, discomfort and short cycling. On the other hand, an undersized unit won’t adequately cool or heat your space. By getting a professional assessment, you can make sure your heat pump is appropriately sized, optimizing its performance, energy efficiency and overall effectiveness.
-
Are there any energy rebates available for heat pumps installation?The Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program provides rebates to qualifying customers for installing a new heat pump. You could get up to $10,000 back for energy upgrades, plus an additional $600 towards the cost of your your EnerGuide home evaluation. Specifics are subject to change, so it’s best to check the Enbridge website for current details.
-
What is the average lifespan of a heat pump?The average lifespan of a heat pump is around 15 to 20 years. However, a well-maintained unit can often last even longer. At Comfort NEXT Heating & Cooling, we offer regular maintenance and upkeep services to ensure your heat pump lasts as long as possible.
