Heat Pump Installation in Canada
A heat pump is one of the most efficient ways to heat and cool a Canadian home, and with federal and provincial rebates it is often cheaper to run than a furnace. Tell us about your home and we match you with a licensed heat-pump installer in your area, many of whom also do solar.
What a heat pump is
A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, so it both heats your home in winter and cools it in summer from one system. Modern cold-climate units keep working efficiently well below freezing, which is why they now make sense across most of Canada. Because they run on electricity and are far more efficient than baseboards or a furnace, they cut both your energy bills and your carbon footprint, and they qualify for the largest home-energy rebates available.
Types of heat pump
Air-source heat pump
The most common type. It pulls heat from the outside air, works for both heating and cooling, and fits most homes. This is what the majority of Canadian installs are.
Cold-climate heat pump
An air-source unit engineered to keep its efficiency in deep cold, with the best models holding output down to around minus 25. The right choice for most of Canada and what installers recommend for our winters.
Ductless mini-split
A heat pump that needs no ductwork, mounting indoor heads room by room. Ideal for homes with no ducts, additions, or zoned heating and cooling.
Efficiency
Heating and cooling from one efficient system
A heat pump delivers several units of heat for every unit of electricity, far more efficient than a furnace or baseboards, and it replaces your air conditioner too. One system, year round.
Rebates
The biggest home-energy rebates going
Heat pumps qualify for the largest provincial and federal incentives of any home upgrade, from direct rebates to oil-heat-switch programs. See our rebate guide for what applies in your province.
Done right
Sized and installed by a licensed pro
A heat pump has to be sized to your home and installed by a licensed HVAC pro to perform and to qualify for rebates. We match you with one who does the load calculation and the paperwork.
Comfort
Steady heat, quiet cooling
Heat pumps deliver even, steady heat rather than the blast-and-cool cycle of a furnace, and they cool quietly in summer. Cold-climate models hold their output through a Canadian winter.
How it works
- 01Tell us about your home
Your home size, current heating (gas, oil, electric baseboard), and whether you have ductwork. That is enough for an installer to scope the job and flag the rebates you qualify for.
- 02Get matched and assessed
We connect you with a licensed heat-pump installer in your area. They do a heat-loss calculation to size the system correctly, which matters for both comfort and rebate eligibility.
- 03Quote, rebates, and install
You get a quote with the rebates applied, the installer handles the rebate paperwork, and the system is installed, usually in a day or two depending on ductwork.
- 04Switch on and save
Your heat pump heats and cools from day one, and the rebate funds follow per each program. You start saving on energy immediately.
Heat pump rebates
Federal and provincial programs can cover a significant share of your installation cost. Amounts and eligibility change; your installer confirms current programs.
See heat pump rebates Pair it with solar
Power your heat pump with your own solar
A heat pump runs on electricity, so the cheapest way to run one is to make that electricity yourself. Pair a heat pump with home solar and a battery and you cut the running cost, keep heating and cooling through an outage, and lock in your energy bill for years. Homeowners electrifying their heating are the strongest fit for solar plus storage.
- ✓ Run your heating and cooling on power from your own roof
- ✓ Battery backup keeps the heat pump running during outages
- ✓ Lock in your energy cost instead of riding rising utility rates

Heat pump installation questions
Do heat pumps work in cold Canadian winters?
Yes. Cold-climate heat pumps are engineered to keep heating efficiently deep into the cold, with the best models down to around minus 25, which covers most of the country. In the coldest snaps some homes keep a backup heat source, which your installer sizes and recommends.
How much does a heat pump cost to install in Canada?
Most home heat-pump installs land between roughly $6,000 and $20,000 before rebates, depending on the system, your home, and whether ductwork is needed. Rebates can take a large chunk off that. See our cost breakdown for the drivers.
What rebates are available for a heat pump?
Heat pumps qualify for substantial home-energy incentives in Canada, including provincial and utility rebates and the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program for oil-heated homes. Note: the federal Greener Homes Loan closed to new applicants in Oct 2025. The amounts and programs change, so our rebate guide and your installer confirm what is current in your province.
Do you install the heat pump yourselves?
No. We are a matching service. We connect you with a vetted, licensed heat-pump installer in your area, and you get the quote and the work directly from them.
