FAQ

Common questions

Will a heat pump keep my home warm in a Toronto winter?

Cold-climate heat pumps are built for it. The building code designs for −18 °C at Toronto City Hall and −20 °C in North York and Scarborough, so ask for a model with enough heating capacity at that temperature, sized for your home. See our winter performance guide.

Can I keep my gas furnace?

Yes. Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings program lets gas and propane homes keep their furnace, or put in a new one, as backup. The rebate covers the heat pump only.

Ducted or ductless: which do I need?

A home with ducts in good shape can usually use a ducted (central) heat pump. Homes without ducts, for example with radiators or baseboards, can use ductless units. Our ducted vs ductless guide explains the trade-offs.

Will I need an electrical upgrade?

Sometimes. A heat pump usually needs its own circuit, and electric backup heat adds to the load, so the size of your panel matters. Our electrical guide explains what to check.

Is the rebate guaranteed?

No. Each program decides who qualifies, and the amount depends on your home, the equipment and, for the federal rebate, your household income. The Ontario rebate also needs pre-approval before any work starts.

Is the quote free? Do I have to go ahead?

The quote is free, with no obligation to go ahead. Our team reviews your request and gets in touch the way you chose: a call, a text or email only.

Who will contact me, and what happens to my information?

Our own team contacts you. We arrange one trusted partner installer for your project and share your details only with them. We never sell your information. Our partner installers may pay Heat Pump Toronto; see our advertising disclosure.

Questions about your own home?

Built for real winters

Made for January.
Not just July.

Cold-climate heat pumps are designed to keep heating when temperatures drop well below freezing. The key is choosing a model rated for our winters — and sizing it for your home.

Rated for the cold.

We highlight models with published cold-climate performance, so you can compare real specifications.

Sized for your house.

Proper load calculation matters more than brand. Our installers size systems to your home, not a rule of thumb.

Backup, if you want it.

Hybrid dual-fuel setups pair a heat pump with your existing furnace for the coldest days.

How a heat pump pulls heat out of −15 °C air, what COP (efficiency) means, what happens in deep cold, and why you may see steam during a defrost.
