How it works
A heat pump moves heat rather than burning fuel. In winter it pulls heat from outdoor air into the house; in summer it reverses and works like an air conditioner.
Suited to the coast
Langley's winters are cool and wet rather than bitterly cold for long stretches, which suits heat pumps well.
Cold snaps
On colder nights, backup heat from electric strips or a gas furnace helps. Modern cold-climate heat pumps keep working at lower temperatures than older models.
Defrost
On cold, damp mornings the outdoor unit may stop, steam and restart. That's the defrost cycle and is normal.
Ducted or ductless
A ducted heat pump uses existing ductwork. Homes without ducts, such as those with baseboard heat, often use ductless heads instead.
Noise and placement
Outdoor units should sit where the sound won't bother bedrooms or neighbours, with clear space around them.
Electrical capacity
Some older homes need an electrical panel upgrade for a heat pump. Ask early so it doesn't hold up the project.
Maintenance
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, change filters and book a yearly check.
Rebates
Programs for heat pumps change over time; ask your contractor what applies when you're ready.
Get help
Tell the technician about your current heating and whether you want cooling too. Send a request and an HVAC contractor will get in touch.
Comfort
Heat pumps deliver steady, gentle heat rather than short bursts of very hot air, which many people find more comfortable.
