Cold-climate heat pumps work in Toronto. We've installed dozens that hold setpoint at -18 °C without auxiliary heat. We size with a real heat-loss calc, pair with the furnace as a hybrid system when that's the better economics, and only recommend full electrification when the envelope and electrical service support it. We'll be honest about which case yours is.
Cold-climate spec
Rated 100% capacity at -15 °C, 75%+ at -25 °C on the units we install most.
Hybrid or all-electric
Most Toronto homes are happiest in hybrid mode for the first winter, then we re-evaluate.
Incentive support
We flag current programs and provide the model numbers, invoices, and warranty documents you need to verify eligibility.
Quiet outdoor unit
Variable compressor + acoustic shrouds keep neighbours from noticing.

Brands we install
Four steps. Same four every job.
Step 1
1. Energy audit
We'll cross-reference an EnerGuide audit if you have one, or recommend one before sizing.
Step 2
2. Sizing & eligibility check
Heat-loss calc, ductwork capacity check, and a plain list of any program documents to verify before you count on incentives.
Step 3
3. Install
Outdoor unit on a vibration-isolated pad, refrigerant lines pressure tested, indoor coil tied to existing furnace or air handler.
Step 4
4. Hybrid setpoint tuning
We set the changeover temperature based on your actual gas/hydro rates and your comfort, then revisit it after the first cold snap.
While we're here, ask about these too.
Central air conditioning
Quiet residential AC installs and honest repairs that survive a humid Toronto July.
Smart thermostats & controls
Ecobee, Honeywell, and manufacturer thermostats wired and configured — including the wiring for two-stage heat your old t-stat can't drive.
Ductwork & ventilation
Sealing, balancing, replacing, and re-routing residential ductwork — including the basement runs the original installer skipped.
Indoor air quality
MERV upgrades, HRV/ERV installs, humidification, and UV — paired only when your house actually needs them.
