Smarter Home Heating

Have you heard about air-source heat pumps (ASHPs)?

They can both heat and cool your home. Some ASHP options can be cost-competitive with traditional systems (or even lower cost) and also reduce your heating and cooling bills. They are also more eco-friendly than traditional systems because they produce fewer harmful carbon emissions. They’ve been around for decades but modern advancements have improved the cold-climate performance in some models.

Based on 2-years of consultation with energy advisors, contractors, homeowners, and industry experts, we’ve prepared some ASHP resources for Ontario Homeowners.
