Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
High Heating Costs with Electric or Propane
If you're heating with electric baseboard, space heaters, or propane, a heat pump can dramatically reduce your energy costs while providing superior comfort.
No Central Air Conditioning
Heat pumps provide efficient cooling in summer plus heating in winter, eliminating the need for separate systems and saving on installation costs.
Aging Furnace or AC System
Replacing both furnace and air conditioner with a single heat pump system can reduce equipment costs, improve efficiency, and simplify maintenance.
Uneven Heating in Parts of Your Home
Ductless mini-split heat pumps provide targeted comfort for problem areas like additions, finished basements, or rooms that are too hot or too cold.
Environmental Concerns
If reducing your carbon footprint is important, heat pumps offer significant environmental benefits compared to fossil fuel heating systems.
Home Addition Without Ductwork
Ductless heat pumps are perfect for additions, garages, or renovated spaces where extending ductwork isn't practical or cost-effective.

Learn More About FinancingFrequently Asked Questions
Do heat pumps work in Ottawa winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are specifically designed for Canadian winters and work efficiently down to -30°C. They provide reliable heating throughout Ottawa's coldest months while using significantly less energy than electric resistance heating.
What rebates are available for heat pump installation?
Federal programs like the Canada Greener Homes Grant and provincial incentives may offer rebates for qualifying heat pump installations. Rebate amounts and eligibility vary. We stay updated on current programs and can help you navigate the application process.
How much can I save with a heat pump?
Savings depend on your current heating system. Compared to electric baseboard heating, you could save up to 50% on heating costs. Compared to oil or propane, savings are also significant. We provide estimated operating cost comparisons during consultation.
What's the difference between ducted and ductless heat pumps?
Ducted heat pumps connect to existing ductwork (like a traditional furnace) to heat and cool the entire home. Ductless mini-splits mount on walls and don't require ducts, making them ideal for additions, specific rooms, or homes without existing ductwork.
Can a heat pump replace my furnace?
Yes. Many Ottawa homeowners use heat pumps as their primary heating system. Some choose to keep their existing furnace as backup for extreme cold, while others rely entirely on the heat pump. We'll recommend the best approach for your home.
How long does heat pump installation take?
Most residential heat pump installations are completed in 1-2 days, depending on system complexity, electrical work required, and whether ductwork modifications are needed. We provide realistic timelines during the estimate.
What size heat pump do I need?
Proper sizing requires professional load calculations based on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, orientation, and other factors. Oversized or undersized systems waste energy and reduce comfort. We size every system accurately.
Do you install Bryant heat pumps?
Yes. As a Bryant dealer, we install and service Bryant heat pump systems known for reliability, cold-climate performance, and strong warranty coverage.
What maintenance do heat pumps need?
Annual professional maintenance (cleaning coils, checking refrigerant, inspecting electrical components) plus regular filter changes keep your heat pump running efficiently. We provide maintenance guidance and offer service plans.
How long do heat pumps last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, heat pumps typically last 15-20 years. Quality installation and ongoing care maximize system lifespan and efficiency.
