📞 (604) 359-1081Request a free quoteIn cooling mode, a heat pump uses the identical refrigeration cycle as an air conditioner to remove heat and humidity from your home. There is no compromise on summer comfort — a properly sized heat pump cools as well as a comparable AC.
The only real difference from an AC is that the heat pump can run in reverse to heat efficiently in winter — which is why it qualifies for rebates a cooling-only AC does not. You get equal cooling plus winter savings and incentives.
A heat pump both cools and heats, so it qualifies for the major programs. Depending on your home, fuel source and the equipment chosen, that can include CleanBC Better Homes, BC Hydro, FortisBC and the federal Canada Greener Homes incentives, plus the interest-free Greener Homes Loan (up to $40,000). Combined incentives frequently offset several thousand dollars.

Modern cooling equipment is sealed, pressurized and wired to be serviced by trained professionals — not opened up at home. Refrigerant is handled only by technicians certified to do so; releasing it is unsafe and illegal, and an incorrect charge will quietly wreck efficiency and shorten the compressor’s life. Capacitors hold a dangerous charge even with the power off, and a wiring or breaker mistake on your home cooling is a real shock and fire risk. A licensed CANRO technician diagnoses the true root cause, repairs it to code, keeps your manufacturer warranty intact, and leaves the system safe — the first time. If a part is dangerous or sized wrong, we tell you honestly.

No, when properly sized — inverter heat pumps hold steady cooling through BC heat events. Sizing is the key, which is why we run a load calculation.
