For more answers, see the FAQs page or just contact us with your questions.
-
Do heat pumps require regular maintenance?
Yes, heat pumps require regular maintenance to ensure they operate at peak efficiency and to prevent breakdowns. This typically includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting the unit for any signs of wear or damage.
-
How do heat pumps compare to traditional HVAC systems?
Heat pumps are generally considered to be more energy efficient than traditional HVAC systems, which can result in lower energy bills. They can also provide both heating and cooling, which can be more convenient than separate heating and cooling systems.
-
How does a heat pump differ from other HVAC systems?
The main difference between a heat pump and other residential HVAC systems (such as central air conditioning or furnace systems) is that heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling using the same system. This means that homeowners only need to install and maintain one system, which can save money and simplify maintenance.

What’s a good SEER rating for heat pump on Vancouver Island?
The recommended SEER rating for a heat pump in Vancouver Island depends on several factors, including the local climate, the size and layout of the building, and the desired level of energy efficiency. In general, Vancouver Island has a mild coastal climate, with relatively mild winters and warm summers, which makes it well-suited for heat pump systems.
In British Columbia, the minimum SEER rating for new heat pumps is 14. However, for greater energy efficiency and cost savings, it is recommended to choose a heat pump with a SEER rating of at least 16. Heat pumps with higher SEER ratings can provide even greater energy efficiency, but they may come with a higher upfront cost.
