🤔 60-Second Decision Guide
Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Burlington Home?
Every home is different. Answer two questions and we’ll point you toward the right type of heat pump before you even talk to a technician.
🔌
Currently heated by electric baseboards?
A ductless mini-split is usually your best fit, no ductwork needed.
🔥
Currently heated by a gas furnace?
A ducted or hybrid dual-fuel system uses your existing ductwork.
Is a Heat Pump Worth It? Quiz
Answer 5 quick questions and find out if switching to a heat pump makes sense for your home, climate, and lifestyle.
How do you primarily heat your home currently?
Do you have ductwork and heating vents in your home?
Central duct systems allow for a ducted heat pump. Without ducts, a ductless mini-split is still an option but at higher cost.
Which region do you live in?
Heat pumps perform best in moderate climates. Cold-climate models now work well even in very cold regions.
How well insulated is your home?
How long are you planning on staying in your home?
A heat pump is a long-term investment. Longer stays mean better return on investment.

What Is a Heat Pump, and How Does It Work?
A heat pump doesn't burn fuel to make heat. It moves heat that already exists, from outside to inside in winter, and from inside to outside in summer. That's what lets one system replace both your furnace and your air conditioner.
☀️
In Summer
The heat pump pulls heat and humidity out of your indoor air and releases it outside, working exactly like a central air conditioner to keep your Burlington home cool and dry through July and August.
❄️
In Winter
The system reverses. Even in cold outdoor air, there's still usable heat energy present. A cold-climate heat pump extracts it and transfers it indoors, keeping your home warm without a drop of gas or oil.

Straight Answers
Burlington-Specific Heat Pump Challenges, Solved
Burlington's lake-effect winters, humid summers, and older housing stock all put unique demands on a heat pump. Here's what your system actually contends with here, and how it's built to handle it.
The Challenge
Deep cold snaps below -20°C reduce heating capacity in standard heat pumps.
The Challenge
Lake Ontario humidity raises the cooling load through July and August.
The Challenge
Frost and ice can build up on the outdoor coil when cold air meets humidity.
The Challenge
Lake-effect weather can shift quickly, swinging temperatures within a single day.
The Challenge
Older Burlington homes, especially pre-1990 builds, often have weaker attic and wall insulation.
The Challenge
Lake-effect snow squalls can pile snow around the outdoor unit and block airflow.
The Challenge
Spring freeze-thaw swings can mean heating in the morning and cooling by afternoon.
The Challenge
Older homes near the lake, like in Downtown Burlington or Aldershot, often still run on legacy 100-amp electrical panels that weren't built to handle a modern heat pump.
The Challenge
Many older Burlington homes have small, outdated ductwork that was never sized for a modern heating and cooling system.
How It's Handled
Cold-climate heat pumps (ccASHP) are rated to maintain strong heating output down to -25°C, so capacity holds even on Burlington's coldest nights.
How It's Handled
Correct sizing through a load calculation ensures the system removes humidity properly instead of just short-cycling to hit temperature.
How It's Handled
Modern heat pumps run an automatic defrost cycle that periodically clears ice from the outdoor coil without interrupting comfort indoors.
How It's Handled
Variable-speed compressors adjust output in real time, so the system responds to sudden swings instead of lagging behind them.
How It's Handled
The load calculation accounts for your home's actual insulation levels, not a generic square footage estimate, so sizing reflects real heat loss.
How It's Handled
The outdoor unit is mounted on an elevated bracket or stand, keeping it clear of ground-level snow buildup all winter.
How It's Handled
Smart thermostat integration switches between heating and cooling automatically, no manual adjustment needed as the day warms up.
How It's Handled
We perform a full electrical panel assessment before every install. Where a home has a legacy 100-amp panel, we engineer a high-efficiency hybrid dual-fuel system that delivers full comfort without overloading it.
How It's Handled
Our team runs a comprehensive Manual J load calculation and static pressure test on your existing ductwork. If it can't support a ducted system as-is, we custom-engineer a zoning setup instead, for quiet, powerful heating without overloading your ducts.

Mon–Sun | 24/7 Emergency
Will a heat pump work in Burlington's cold winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are engineered to work efficiently in temperatures as low as -25°C to -30°C — well suited for Burlington winters.
How much does heat pump installation cost in Burlington?
Heat pump installation in Burlington typically ranges from $4,000–$12,000 depending on system type and size. Rebates can offset $2,000–$10,000+ of this cost.
What rebates are available for heat pumps in Ontario?
The Canada Greener Homes Grant offers up to $6,500 for heat pump installations. Enbridge Gas also offers rebates for homeowners switching from gas. We guide you through every available program.
Should I replace my furnace with a heat pump or keep both?
A hybrid system (heat pump + existing furnace) is often the most cost-effective first step. It maximizes efficiency while retaining the furnace as backup for the coldest days.
How long does heat pump installation take?
Most heat pump installations are completed in one day. Hybrid system installations that involve modifying your existing furnace/ductwork setup may take two days.
