Heat Pump Installation Done Properly

A single-zone ductless system is often a one-day job. A central ducted heat pump or a multi-zone system usually takes one to three days, depending on ductwork changes and electrical work. We give you a realistic schedule with your quote.

Usually at the side or back of the house, on a raised stand or wall bracket. We need clearance for airflow and service, a spot where defrost water can drain without freezing on a walkway, and some distance from bedroom windows and neighbours to keep sound down.

Most installations involve electrical and sometimes mechanical permits, and some municipalities have rules about outdoor unit placement or noise. We let you know what applies to your property and handle the required permits as part of the job.

It depends on insulation, windows, air leakage, ceiling heights and your local climate, not just square footage. We calculate heat loss room by room, then choose equipment that can cover your design temperature without oversizing.

In many Metro Vancouver homes it can, especially with a cold-climate model and some electric backup. If you would rather keep gas for the coldest days, a dual fuel setup is a good middle ground.
