However, heat pumps are quickly growing more popular in Pickering & Surrounding Areas. Here’s why:
High Efficiency
They are the best option if you’re serious about decreasing both energy use (to help the planet) and costs (to help your wallet).
Government Rebates
There are various rebates available through government programs to help offset the cost of purchasing and installing a heat pump.
Carbon Tax Savings
The Federal Carbon Tax will more than triple over the next decade from $50/tonne in 2022 to $170/tonne in 2030. Homeowners are taxed on the use of fossil fuels like natural gas, propane and oil for appliances, which heat pumps do not use.
Your Advantage Airtech ClimateCare is committed to providing you with home comfort solutions that will help you save money and reduce your carbon footprint. Making the switch to a fully electric or hybrid heat pump system will bring you significant savings all around.
What is a heat pump?
Contrary to what the name indicates, heat pumps do not actually generate heat. Heat pumps are a type of heating and cooling system that uses electricity to transfer heat from one location to another instead of generating heat directly.
Types of Heat Pumps
When looking at heat pumps, there are two main types to consider- air source and ground source (also known as geothermal). You also need to consider if you want to go fully electric or a combination of electric and natural gas or propane.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps take heat from the air outside your home and use it for both heating and cooling in the summer. These heat pumps are the easiest to install and, therefore, a more popular choice in Pickering & Surrounding Areas.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps require the installation of piping into the ground. The main advantage of ground source heat pumps is their unmatched efficiency year-round, as the ground temperature remains constant. It is the most efficient and cost-effective method of home comfort.
Electric Vs. Hybrid Heating
You can replace your current heating and cooling system with one that uses electricity exclusively or a hybrid system that uses mostly electricity but relies on fossil fuels to supplement your heat on very cold days.
We have both electric and hybrid systems that will qualify for up to a $6,500 rebate through Enbridge Gas enhanced Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program.
