Here are 5 common questions people ask about heat pumps. Explore our Heat Pump Installation FAQs to learn more about ductless mini-split systems, the installation process, energy-efficiency benefits, and how our Kamloops heating experts assess your home, provide a detailed estimate, and complete a professional installation for reliable year-round heating and cooling.
A heat pump is an HVAC system that moves heat instead of generating it. In winter it pulls heat from outside and moves it inside, and in summer it reverses the process to cool your home like an air conditioner.
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps can operate efficiently even when outdoor temperatures drop well below freezing. Some systems work down to -15°F (-26°C) or lower, though backup heat may still be used in extreme conditions.
Usually yes. Heat pumps can deliver 2–4 times more energy than they consume, making them much more efficient than electric resistance heating and often more efficient than gas furnaces in moderate climates.
Installation typically ranges from $4,000 to $12,000+, depending on system size, brand, ductwork requirements, and installation complexity. Rebates and incentives can significantly reduce the cost.
Most heat pumps last 10–15 years, though proper maintenance (filter changes, coil cleaning, annual servicing) can extend their lifespan.
Heat pumps can provide cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. (However, a backup heat source is recommended for the winters to ensure comfort.)
Environmental Friendliness: Heat pumps have a lower carbon footprint compared to natural gas or other fossil fuels-based heating systems.
