A heat pump can reduce the heating costs by 60% in the winter and can also provide low cost air conditioning in the summer (for $1 per day). A heat pump operates on principle of a fridge. A fridge extracts heat from the near-freezing inside air and releases it to the warmer air in the kitchen. A heat pump only moves heat from the outdoors into your home rather than creating heat by burning fuels. For this reason it can be over 200% to 300% efficient and so can reduce your heating bill more than in half.

Lower Mainland’s and Vancouver Island’s mild weather lends itself best for heating homes using heat pumps. For very cold weather days below 4 Degrees Celsius it can be combined with a back up heating which will only use a fraction of the overall energy. Another alternative is a Cold Climate Heat Pump that can operate in subfreezing temperatures.

Heat pumps are unique in the sense that one and the same appliance are able to provide heating as well as cooling. Some systems that are designed for “free-cooling” provide comfort cooling at almost no electric input at all.
