"Incredible customer service and very professional. Had furnace issues, and my problem was resolved quickly and efficiently." - Ryan D.
Many Canadians are hesitant about switching to a heat pump because they worry it won’t heat effectively in our freezing-cold climate. While this may have been true in the past, most modern cold-climate heat pumps can work in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius. A heat pump will be most effective and be most energy efficient when the outdoor temperature isn’t as low. However, even in extreme cold, a heat pump will usually be the most energy-efficient and least expensive heating option.
The reason that a cold-climate heat pump can continue functioning in extreme cold is that most have additional electric heat strips installed inside the home. Although these heat strips aren’t as energy efficient, they allow a heat pump system to heat more quickly when needed. They also serve as a backup for when the heat pump needs to defrost or if it is too cold for it to run. If your heat pump stops working, the heat strips also provide emergency heating to keep your home warm and prevent your pipes from freezing.
The main drawback to a heat pump is that it can be more prone to needing repairs since it gets more use than a standalone heating or cooling unit. However, having your heat pump maintained twice a year can help prevent it from needing as many repairs. Maintenance will also keep your heat pump working more effectively and limit its energy usage.
If you notice any of the following issues, it’s a definite sign that you need to call a heat pump repair service.
Electricity bill suddenly spikes
Heat pump will only cool or heat, not both
Unusual noises when the heat pump is running
Heat pump short cycles or shuts off in under 10 minutes
The unit is frozen and won’t defrost
