Jeff and his team installed a Carrier ductless heat pump with 2 heads in my mobile home. They did an excellent job and I’m very happy, especially now that we’re having another heat wave! His quote included everything, including the removal of my old heat pump and the electrical service required for the job. The job was done in one day and they cleaned up totally after themselves. I highly recommend them.
Heat Pump FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions about heat pumps and our installation services.
For more answers, see the FAQs page or just contact us with your questions.
-
What does HSPF stand for?
HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. It is a measure of the efficiency of a heat pump system in heating mode. The HSPF is calculated by dividing the total heat output of the system during the heating season by the total electrical energy consumed by the system during the same period.
Generally, a higher HSPF indicates a more efficient system that can provide more heat output per unit of electrical energy consumed. However, it’s important to note that the actual performance of a heat pump system can vary depending on factors such as climate, installation, and usage patterns.

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.
-
Can heat pumps be used in cold climates?
Yes, heat pumps can be used in cold climates, although their efficiency may be reduced when temperatures drop below freezing. Some models are specifically designed for use in colder climates and are equipped with features such as a defrost cycle to prevent frost buildup.
-
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.
