A recent CBC report has highlighted a growing trend among Ottawa homeowners: the increasing adoption of heat pumps as a primary heating and cooling solution. One of the featured homeowners in the segment was an AirZone HVAC Services customer who installed a full electric Moovair system along with a Mitsubishi ductless heat pump. This combination provides an efficient, eco-friendly alternative to traditional heating methods, making it an appealing choice for those looking to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
More About Our Customer’s Cold Climate Moovair and Mitsubishi System
Our customer wanted to do something for the environment by reducing his families carbon footprint. Our team got to work on a custom cold climate heat pump Moovair and Mitsubishi HVAC system design. The two major components included a Moovair Central MOOV and Mitsubishi Hyper Heat ductless heat pump.
This system design allowed us to use existing decades old duct work while providing a solution for hard to reach heating and cooling areas of the home. As mentioned in the video, this homeowner was able to heat their entire home with minimal to no back up heat. We were able to accomplish this by providing this unique design and approach. By adding an additional 18,000 BTUs of heating/cooling through the ductless heat pump the home receives ample amounts of heating capabilities even in the coldest of weather. Furthermore, the strategic placement of the ductless head in the stairwell allows the denser cold air to be thrown across to the bedrooms on the top floor.
A system like this combines comfort, green energy as well as increased air flow and filtration throughout the home. This 100 year old house has never been more comfortable!
The Importance Of Choosing A Certified, Qualified, & Established HVAC Company For Your Heat Pump Installation
The CBC video also highlights the dangers of having a heat pump installed by HVAC contractors who are not properly licensed and insured, certified to work on heat pump systems, and/or unfamiliar with the heat pump rebate process (and qualifications necessary for a customer to receive a rebate). We receive calls to our office weekly with Ottawa homeowners who have been taken advantage of. We have seen contractors lying about rebates, installing the wrong equipment and very often poorly installing equipment. When making a large purchase like a heat pump system, you are investing in 15 years of comfort, by going with the cheapest quote, homeowners often end up costing themselves ALOT more in the long run.
At AirZone HVAC Services, we have dedicated a large amount of resources to become one of the leading heat pump companies in the greater Ottawa area. We pride ourselves on spearheading the heat pump initiative and rebate process to ensure our customer are not only receiving all rebates available, but also having the best functional HVAC system custom designed for their home. In fact, we have successfully aided our customers in receiving hundreds of Government rebates and grants and make the process as easy and transparent as possible!
We take pride in ensuring we offer the most comprehensive solutions and NEVER offer systems that will rob you of comfort. We refuse to cut corners when it comes to designing and offering solutions that actually help Ottawa homeowners. As a leader in the industry we take our responsibility very seriously and our goal is to leave every home Greener, More Comfortable and with Better Air Quality.
The Rise of Heat Pumps in Ottawa
Heat pumps have gained popularity in Ottawa due to their versatility and efficiency. Unlike conventional heating systems that generate heat through combustion, heat pumps transfer heat from the outside air to the inside of a home, even in cold temperatures. This process significantly reduces energy consumption and lowers utility costs.
With the increasing push for environmentally friendly home solutions and government incentives supporting heat pump installations, more homeowners are making the switch. AirZone HVAC Services has seen a surge in interest from Ottawa residents looking to improve their home comfort while embracing sustainable technology.
