A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that both heats and cools your home using a single unit. In summer it transfers heat from inside your home to the outdoors, and in winter it reverses the process to draw heat from the outside air indoors. Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, they consume significantly less energy than traditional systems, making them one of the most cost-effective HVAC installations available to Montreal homeowners.

There are two types of heat pump installations: central and ductless. A central heat pump connects to your home’s existing ductwork to distribute air evenly throughout the home. A ductless heat pump, also known as a mini-split, is mounted on a wall or ceiling and is ideal for homes without ductwork or for targeting specific rooms or zones. Both are well-suited to Montreal’s climate and eligible for Hydro-Québec energy efficiency rebates.
