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.

How Heat Pumps Keep You Warm (and Cool)

In the winter, a heat pump absorbs energy from the outside air—even in cold temperatures—and transfers it to the indoor air. During the summer, a heat pump moves heat from inside your home to the outdoors, much like an air conditioner does. This means heat pumps can be used year-round to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, regardless of the outdoor conditions.

Heat Pump Benefits

Energy efficiency: One of the main advantages of heat pumps is their high efficiency, which can help you save money on your energy bills. They work by transferring heat from the outside air or ground into your home, rather than generating heat like a traditional furnace. This means they use less energy to produce the same amount of heat.
Versatility: Heat pumps can both heat and cool your home, making them a versatile choice for year-round comfort. In Canada, where temperatures can vary widely throughout the year, this can be especially beneficial.
Reduced environmental impact: Because heat pumps use less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems, they also have a lower carbon footprint. This makes them a more sustainable choice for environmentally-conscious homeowners.
Durability: Heat pumps are designed to be long-lasting, with many models offering a lifespan of 10+ years. Enjoy reliable, efficient heating and cooling for years to come!

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.
