Furnace or heat pump for an Ontario home?

How they compare, and when a hybrid setup makes sense.

Cold-climate heat pumps can heat a home through most Ontario winters, and they also cool in summer. A high-efficiency gas furnace still delivers strong heat on the coldest days.

Many homeowners choose a hybrid system: the heat pump handles most of the year and the furnace takes over in deep cold. The right answer depends on insulation, ductwork, your electrical panel and utility rates.

We measure your home with a heat-loss calculation before recommending anything, so the system is sized properly rather than guessed.
