Benefits of a Heat Pump
There are several benefits to installing a heat pump in your home, including:
Environmentally Friendly
Because heat pumps use much less energy, they’re more environmentally friendly. There’s also no combustion. The federal government is incentivizing their installation because they can help Canada reduce its overall carbon emissions.
2-in-1 System
Despite their name, heat pumps do more than just heat your home. They also work like air conditioners. In the winter, they move heat into your home, and in the summer, they switch into cooling mode to cool your home.
Zoned Heating/Cooling
Heat pumps work using one outdoor unit. However, you can have multiple air handlers on the inside of your home, allowing you to control the temperature of each zone or room.
What Is a Hybrid/Dual-Fuel System?
These grants don’t just cover heat pumps alone. Eligible homeowners can use the money to install dual-fuel or hybrid heating systems, as well. A dual-fuel, or hybrid, heating system is just like it sounds – a heating system that uses two sources of heat fueled by different sources of energy. Typically, it involves a furnace and a heat pump.
A hybrid system is the most energy-efficient setup you can get. It leverages the energy efficiency of the heat pump by using it to heat your home when the temperature is milder or when other fuel prices are high. And when it gets really cold, the furnace kicks in and heats your home. Heat pumps work most efficiently in milder temperatures, so, at a certain threshold, the forced air system will be more efficient.
A hybrid heating system gives you the best of both worlds, allowing for maximum efficiency and home comfort.
