Efficient heating and cooling choices

Why are heat pumps so popular? Because they can heat, cool and dehumidify your home while saving energy* and improving comfort year round. A home energy assessment is not required.

How do heat pumps work?

A heat pump is a high efficiency system that can transfer heat energy to and from your home. This means it can both heat and cool your home for year round comfort.

There are two main categories of heat pumps

Cold climate air source

• Use the air to transfer heat into and out of your home.
• Cold climate air source heat pumps are a type of air source heat pump specially designed to work in temperatures as low as -30°C.
• Air source heat pumps are the most popular type in Canada.

Ground source

• Use the ground to transfer heat into and out of your home.
• Because underground temperatures are warmer and more stable than air temperatures in the winter, ground source heat pumps operate more efficiently than other types of heat pumps at lower temperatures.
• May be best for properties with space available for underground loops.

• Own the home where the heat pump will be installed. Where an owner has tenants, the owner must apply.
• Be an Enbridge Gas customer with an active account and primarily heat your home with a natural gas furnace or boiler OR be connected to the Ontario electricity grid and heat your home with electricity, oil, propane, or wood.
• Live in a single detached, semi-detached, row house, townhome, or mobile home on a permanent foundation. New build homes do not qualify (i.e. homes that have been occupied for six months or less).
