Why Heat Pumps Are a Game Changer

Heat pumps don’t work like traditional furnaces or air conditioners. Instead of generating heat, they move it—which uses way less energy.

Here’s why your customers love them:

✅ Lower energy bills (seriously—way lower)

✅ One system that both heats and cools

✅ Perfect for year-round comfort

✅ Eligible for rebates in many provinces

✅ Great for the environment

Modern models can even keep working in -25°C weather—no more freezing in February!

5 Easy Ways to Help Customers Max Out Their Savings

1. Pick the Right Heat Pump for Their Climate

A basic model might do fine in southern BC, but you’ll want a cold-climate-rated unit for places like Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Quebec.

We carry GREE heat pumps and other cold-weather units that are for Canadian winters. They’re also AHRI-certified, which helps with rebates.

2. Size It Right

This is a unit that’s too small or too big can mess up comfort and waste energy. Always do a proper heat loss/heat gain calculation before a system.

Not sure how? We can help! We can provide AHRI-matched data to you choosing the right equipment.

3. Offer Ductless Options

Mini-splits are perfect for customers who want zoned comfort—and lower bills. With ductless systems, they can heat or cool only the rooms they actually use.

They’re great for:

• Basements
• Bedrooms
• Cottages
• Small shops or offices
• Additions or renovations

And they’re a breeze to install.

4. Give Your Customers Some Quick Tips

Once the system is installed, your job isn’t quite done. Help them get the most out of it by suggesting:

• Using a smart thermostat (like the Ecobee Pro Lite 3 we stock)
• Setting temps a little lower in winter and higher in summer
  
• Cleaning filters regularly
• Using fans to keep air moving
  
• Little things can make a big difference over time.

5. Talk to Them About Rebates

There are some great rebate programs in Canada that can save your customers thousands. A few worth checking out:

• Canada Greener Homes Grant
• Efficiency Manitoba
• Hydro-Québec Energy Efficiency
• FortisBC / Enbridge rebates

Most of these programs require AHRI-matched, high-efficiency systems. If you're ever unsure, reach out—we’ll help you find a qualifying unit.
