Efficient summer cooling and winter heating tailored to older Vancouver homes — with rebates and clean, respectful installation. CANRO Heating & Cooling has cooled Greater Vancouver homes since 1999. Call (604) 359-1081 or request a free, no-obligation quote.

Older Greater Vancouver homes — character houses, post-war bungalows, heritage homes — rarely have ducts and often can’t easily get them. A ductless heat pump adds efficient summer cooling and winter heating without tearing into plaster walls, while qualifying for rebates that help with the cost of an older home upgrade.

Why a heat pump fits this home

The right cooling system depends entirely on the building. For older Vancouver homes, CANRO recommends the configuration that cools effectively, respects the space and any strata rules, and captures the rebates available — then installs it cleanly and to code. We’ll assess your home and quote it honestly.

Rebates & financing

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.

CANRO confirms exactly what you qualify for and handles the paperwork. Prefer to spread the cost? We offer flexible financing so you can cool your home now and pay over time. See current rebates & financing →

Why hire a licensed technician

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 heat pump 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.

Frequently asked questions

How do you cool an older home without ducts?

A ductless heat pump — slim indoor heads connect to a small outdoor unit through a 3-inch opening, no ductwork needed. It cools and heats efficiently.

Will a heat pump work with my old electrical panel?

Sometimes a panel or circuit upgrade is needed; we check this during the assessment and include any electrical work in the written quote.

Are older homes eligible for heat pump rebates?

Yes — rebates are based on the equipment and home, not its age. Replacing fossil-fuel heat with a heat pump often unlocks the larger incentives.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Is a heat pump worth it in Vancouver?
Yes. Vancouver's mild winters (average lows above -5°C) are ideal for cold-climate heat pumps. A properly sized modern heat pump can cover 100% of heating and cooling for most homes, cut heating bills by 30–60% versus electric baseboards or oil, and qualifies for combined BC Hydro, FortisBC and federal rebates.
What rebates are available for heat pumps in BC?
Review current Better Homes BC and utility program requirements for your property and equipment before installation. Amounts, application steps and permitted combinations vary. The Canada Greener Homes Grant and Loan are closed to new applications; previously approved applicants should follow their own file requirements.
Should I get a ducted heat pump or ductless mini-split?
If you already have ductwork from a furnace, a ducted central heat pump is usually the better choice for whole-home comfort. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for additions, suites, garage conversions, and homes without ducts (radiant heated houses).
How long does a heat pump last?
A modern heat pump installed by a qualified contractor typically lasts 15–20 years. Annual maintenance, regular filter changes and keeping the outdoor coil clear of leaves and debris all extend service life.
Do heat pumps work in cold weather?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Carrier, Lennox and Bosch maintain rated capacity down to -15°C and continue producing heat (at reduced capacity) down to -25°C — far colder than Metro Vancouver ever gets.
