Heat Pumps
Energy-Efficient Heating & Cooling for Your Home – Plus the Ontario Heat Pump Rebate and more!
Why Choose a Heat Pump from a Certified Installer?
Heat pumps are an innovative and energy-efficient solution for heating and cooling your home. Unlike traditional furnaces and air conditioners, heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, making them significantly more efficient and environmentally friendly. If you’re looking for ways to reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills, a heat pump might be the perfect solution and Services is the Certified Installer to help you get started.
Heat Pump Diagram - How Do Heat Pumps Work?
A heat pump operates by extracting heat from the outside air—even in cold temperatures—and transferring it into your home. In the summer, the process reverses, removing heat from inside your home to keep you cool. This dual-function capability makes heat pumps a cost-effective, year-round comfort solution.
Key Benefits of Heat Pumps:
- Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps consume less energy compared to traditional heating and cooling systems, leading to lower utility bills.
- Cost Savings: With reduced energy consumption, homeowners can save significantly on heating and cooling expenses.
- Environmental Impact: By using electricity instead of burning fossil fuels, heat pumps lower carbon emissions and contribute to a greener planet.
- Consistent Comfort: Heat pumps maintain a stable indoor temperature, ensuring year-round comfort.
- Easy Maintenance: Regular heat pump maintenance can extend its lifespan and improve efficiency.

What is the Coefficient of Performance (COP)?
The coefficient of performance (COP) measures the efficiency of a heat pump. The higher the COP, the more efficient the system. Modern heat pumps often achieve a COP of 3.0 or higher, meaning they provide three units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed.
Comparing Energy Consumption & Savings
Understanding how much energy a heat pump uses can help homeowners make informed decisions.
Less Electricity Consumption
According to Efficiency Canada, air-source heat pumps can reduce electricity consumption for space heating by at least 50% compared to electric resistance heating systems, such as electric furnaces or baseboard heaters.
Annual Savings
Natural Resources Canada reports that switching from an oil-fired heating appliance to an electric heat pump can help Canadians save between $1,500 to $4,700 per year on their home energy bills.
80%
Emission Reduction
Emissions are reduced by 20% – 80% compared to fossil fuel heating systems.
Proven Technology
Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump (CC-ASHP) technology is specifically designed for northern climates, with the newest prototypes heating down to –31 °C. Heat pumps alone can heat more than 90% of the time in Canada’s coldest cities.
Ontario Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives
The cost of installing a heat pump can be offset through government-backed rebate programs, making them more affordable for homeowners in Ontario. A member of our team can help you find the right heat pump rebate for you.
Home Renovation Savings Program
Under this program homeowners can access significant rebates for heat pump installations:
- Up to $7,500 for cold climate air source heat pumps

- $500 for heat pump water heaters
Energy Affordability Program
Provides income-eligible households with free energy-saving upgrades, including new appliances (refrigerators, air conditioner, cold-climate air-source heat pump), lighting and insulation. This program is coordinated with additional natural gas-saving upgrades for Enbridge Gas customers through the Home Winterproofing Program.
Nipissing Renovates Program / Ontario Renovates Program
Provides grants and forgivable or interest-free loans of up to $25,000 to homeowners in the District of Nipissing. The program is geared toward low- or moderate-income homeowners, low-income seniors, or people with disabilities. The purpose of the program is to fund safety upgrades, accessibility repairs, and energy efficiency improvements to residences.
Remote First Nations Energy Efficiency Program
On-reserve homes and businesses, located in remote First Nation communities about to be connected to the province’s electricity grid, can receive funding to implement energy-efficiency projects. This program offers free energy audits to assess how homes or businesses use energy, and based on the results of the audit, free energy savings measures.
Retrofit Program
Provides support for businesses and institutional customers, including municipalities, hospitals, arenas and schools, to replace equipment such as lighting, HVAC and manufacturing equipment with more energy-efficient models.
Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program
Under this program, low and median income households can get $10,000 toward the cost of transitioning from oil heat to electric and buying/installing an electric cold climate air source heat pump. Plus an additional $5,000 in certain provinces.
