A heat pump moves heat instead of generating it — making it 2-4x more efficient than traditional systems. In winter it extracts warmth from outdoor air; in summer it reverses to cool your home.
Extracts heat from outdoor air — even at -25°C — and transfers it inside. Modern cold-climate models deliver efficient warmth well below freezing.
Reverses the cycle to remove heat from your home and expel it outside — delivering quiet, energy-efficient air conditioning all summer long.
Because heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, they deliver 2 to 4 units of heating for every unit of electricity consumed — slashing your energy bills.
For most BC homes, a heat pump is cheaper to run, cleaner, and more versatile than a gas furnace or electric baseboard — and the rebates make switching more affordable than ever.

No existing ductwork? A ductless mini-split heat pump is the fastest, most cost-effective way to add efficient heating and cooling to any space — and it qualifies for the full CleanBC heat pump rebate BC.
One outdoor unit connected to one indoor wall-mounted head. Perfect for a living area, bedroom, home office or suite — installed in as little as one day.

If your Metro Vancouver home already has ductwork, a ducted cold-climate heat pump replaces your furnace or air handler for invisible, whole-home comfort.
Installed costs vary by system type and home size. After CleanBC and BC Hydro rebates, most Metro Vancouver homeowners pay significantly less — and recover the difference through lower monthly energy bills within 3–7 years.

Most Metro Vancouver homeowners qualify if they are replacing an existing primary heating system with a qualifying cold-climate heat pump. The key factors are your current heating fuel type, home size, and the equipment model selected. Climax Energy provides a free eligibility assessment to confirm your exact rebate amount before you commit to anything.
A ductless heat pump (also called a mini-split) consists of an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor wall-mounted heads, connected by a refrigerant line through a small 3-inch wall penetration — no ductwork needed. Ductless heat pump installation in Metro Vancouver typically takes 4–8 hours for a single zone. The system provides both heating and cooling, and most ductless models fully qualify for the CleanBC heat pump rebate BC.
Single-zone ductless heat pump installation typically takes 4–8 hours. Multi-zone ductless systems or ducted whole-home replacements generally take 1–2 days. Our TECA-certified technicians handle permits, city inspections and electrical connections — leaving your home clean and your new system fully operational.
Yes — modern cold-climate heat pumps operate efficiently down to -25°C. Metro Vancouver winters rarely drop below -10°C, making a heat pump an ideal primary heating source here. The Daikin, Mitsubishi and Carrier models we install are rated for BC's climate and keep your home comfortable all winter without a backup furnace in most cases.
We install heat pumps — ductless and ducted — throughout Metro Vancouver including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, New Westminster, Port Moody, Delta, Langley and Maple Ridge. Call (250) 201-2030 or book online for a free in-home assessment.
Metro Vancouver homeowners switching from electric baseboard heating to a heat pump typically save 40–70% on heating costs — about $800–$1,800 per year for a 1,800–2,200 sq ft home. BC Hydro's electricity is 98% clean hydropower, making a heat pump both the cheapest and cleanest heating option available. Those switching from natural gas save less on monthly bills but eliminate gas meter fees and gain air conditioning at no extra cost. Payback period (after rebates) is typically 3–7 years, after which the savings are pure profit.

We install Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Carrier and Lennox — all leading cold-climate brands with proven BC performance records. We recommend the model that best matches your home's heating load, layout and budget. All brands we install are listed on the NEEP Cold Climate Heat Pump (ccASHP) list and fully qualify for CleanBC heat pump rebates in BC. We do not install single-speed systems — all our equipment meets or exceeds CleanBC's variable-speed and HSPF2 requirements.
Heat pumps require annual preventive maintenance — filter cleaning, coil inspection, refrigerant pressure check and electrical connection tightening. Skipping maintenance can void your manufacturer warranty and reduce equipment lifespan by 5–10 years. Climax Energy's maintenance plans start at $149/year and cover both your heat pump and any backup systems. We service all brands across Metro Vancouver, not just systems we installed.
