Types of Heat Pumps Installed in Ottawa: Ductless, Ducted & Hybrid

Ductless Split Heat Pumps

These units can be utilized in homes that are equipped with ductwork or not. Enjoy perfect comfort with the added benefit of total customization. We can install indoor distribution heads in 1-8 rooms connecting to one outdoor heat pump! These units allow for full zoning and you can control each room’s temperature completely independently. Don’t forget that these units operate as air conditioners and heaters, with some cold climate products producing heat down to -30C!

Fully Electric Ducted Systems

Standard heat pumps are units that look very similar to a traditional air conditioner. These devices replace your standard air conditioner and tie into your current furnace/air handler infrastructure(ductwork). Most standard heat pumps produce heat down to about -15C, this means your air conditioner can now supplement your furnace in heating season to provide a environmentally friendly heating solution.

Electric/Gas Hybrid Ducted Systems

Cold Climate heat pumps are similar to standard heat pumps in that they replace your air conditioner and also supplement your current furnace/air handler infrastructure (ductwork). The major difference between a standard heat pump and a cold climate heat pump is its ability to operate at very low temperatures. We install units that can produce heat down to -30C, meaning much less run time on a gas furnace. This is the ultimate solution for those that are trying to do their part in curtailing global warming and slashing their carbon footprint.

Heat Pump Installation Costs in Ottawa (2025 Pricing)

The average cold climate heat pump installation cost in Ottawa in 2025 is $6,000 – $12,000 before rebates. This price can vary drastically depending on a number of factors including home size, unit efficiency and installation parameters. Let our experts get you the best rebates possible! We offer free rebate consultations that can significantly reduce the overall price.

If you are looking to install ductless heat pumps you may be looking at as low as $3000 + HST for a single zone standard heat pump. Other clients that are completely retrofitting the home with cold climate ductless heat pumps may be looking to spend $25,000+.

How Does A Heat Pump Work?

A heat pump also provides easy heating and cooling operation with more precise temperature control (when paired with an appropriate HVAC system). A heat pump is the perfect addition to a HVAC system that contains an oil, propane, or electric heater. These customers are the ones that benefit the most from a heat pump product.

AirZone HVAC Services installs virtually any type of heat pump system on the market. This includes geothermal, water source, condo packs and air source. Our three most popular heat pump options for Ottawa homeowners are all of the air source variety, these units move heat from the outdoors to the indoor setting (even at temperatures of -25 and colder)!

Ductless Heating and Cooling System Ottawa

Heat Pump FAQ

Heat Pumps do work well in Ottawa Ontario but there needs to be many considerations when your HVAC professional designs your system. Even the best cold climate heat pumps require some sort of back up heat for the frigid temperatures of mid winter. That being said, the majority of the year, a high heat pump is an excellent choice to acclimate your home.

 

Central heat pumps can heat your whole home for the majority of the year. Ductless heat pumps can achieve the same goal if designed properly. There are so many factors in a properly designed heat pump system that it is crucial to work with a professional.

Contrary to popular belief, a heat pump is actually a replacement for your air conditioner. For home owners that are looking to remove their gas furnace, utilizing a heat pump can aid in this mission. Many clients opt to remove the furnace and air conditioner and replace it with a heat pump and indoor air handler.  We also have many homeowners who prefer to add a heat pump to their existing system(replacing the air conditioner) and utilize the gas furnace as backup heat.

In many ways a heat pump is better than an air conditioner. The heat pumps we install in Ottawa tend to be fairly high end, due to our extreme weather. In turn you receive an ultra efficient unit that is capable of cooling your home using much less energy than a typical air conditioner. Furthermore, when you opt for a heat pump you get amazing heating capabilities without burning fossil fuels.

The heat pumps of yesteryear were known for their high sound levels. Many of the new modern units are incredibly quiet! There are varying levels in terms of quality when looking at heat pumps. The models that we install and offer in Ottawa are all very high end options. These units run incredibly quiet in cooling mode, often half the sound levels of standard ACs. In heating mode, they run a little bit louder but are still running around the same sound levels of a typical air conditioner.

Rebates are extremely common for heat pumps due to their increased efficiency and environmental impact. These rebates range from $1000 up to $12,000! The rebate landscape can be quite confusing… we make the process simple with our FREE no obligation rebate consultation!

Heat pumps are worth the increased cost over air conditioners for numerous reasons. Especially if you heat your house with propane, oil or electricity! Supplementing your home heating with an ultra efficient heat pump is a great idea. Furthermore, these units are generally 1.5-2.0X more efficient in cooling mode than a standard air conditioner. Finally, they are environmentally friendly and help you reduce your carbon footprint. At AirZone HVAC we believe in environmentally sustainable technology and building a better future for our community.

A heat pump is a very cost effective way to heat your home.  Depending on what your fuel prices are (natural gas, oil or propane) a heat pump can be significantly cheaper to run.  In Ottawa we have found that natural gas customers tend to see massive savings in the spring, summer and fall. In the depths of the winter when temperatures reach -20 to -30, natural gas still tends to be slightly cheaper. For this reason, many clients opt for a hybrid system that utilizes a heat pump backed up by a natural gas furnace.

In Ottawa, the majority of houses require some sort of back up heat. There are many reasons for this and at AirZone we generally recommend at least some sort of backup.  Heat pumps tend to defrost in the winter and this can cause comfort issues if there is not a backup heater. Furthermore, the majority of existing homes simply do not have the infrastructure (whether it is ductwork or electrical) to support a heat pump capable of heating for the entire winter season. Finally, insurance companies often decline to insure a home that does not have a backup to the heat pump.

At AirZone, we understand the importance of regular heat pump maintenance in Ottawa’s varied climate.
