How Does a Heat Pump Work?

If you're considering having a new heat pump installed, you might be wondering if this is the right option for your home. Some of the factors to consider should include functionality, price and the long term cost savings.

In contrast to other types of heating and cooling systems, a heat pump warms up or cools down space by transferring heat over a hot radiator and into your home, rather than burning fuel. Heat Pumps use electricity and a modern refrigerant to move heat from one location to another. The science behind their design, allows for the direction the heat moves within the heat pump to be reversed, which transfers the heat out of your home instead. Additionally, the air is dehumidified and the humidity in your home is reduced.

 
Switching from fossil fuel heating to an energy efficient, cost saving Heat Pump will reduce your environmental footprint and give you the added comfort of air conditioning during the summer.

Both the Federal Government and the Province of British Columbia offer grants towards the upgrade of inefficient home heating systems including electric baseboard, electric forced air, fossil fuel (oil, gas, propane) forced air or wood heating. 

Natural Resources Canada, through the 2 Billion Dollar Low Carbon Economy Fund, is offering up to $5000 towards an energy efficient Heat Pump purchase. 

British Columbia's Clean BC Better Homes network, with support from BC Hydro, Fortis, and BC Housing, is offering up to $6000 towards a home heating system upgrade. Rebates are often topped up by your local municipality.
