Do heat pumps work in Toronto winters?

Yes. Cold-climate models produce heat well below Toronto's −20°C design temperature; many are rated to −25°C to −30°C.

How long does a heat pump last?

15–20 years with annual maintenance, similar to a central AC.

Will my hydro bill go up?

Your electricity use goes up and your gas or oil use drops or ends. The net depends on what you heat with now; we show both on your quote.

Ductless mini-split

Heat and cool rooms without ducts

Ductless mini-splits put a small indoor unit in each zone and one outdoor unit outside. They're the most efficient way to replace electric baseboard heat, and homes heated with electricity qualify for Ontario's higher rebate: $1,250 per ton, up to $7,500.
