Full Electric Heat Pump Installation
Go fully electric with a central ducted heat pump — no gas required. The cleanest, most efficient way to heat and cool your entire home through existing ductwork.
Is This Right for You?
Here are the most common situations where homeowners choose this system.
Replacing a gas furnace entirely
Eliminate your gas bill and carbon footprint. A full electric heat pump handles both heating and cooling through your existing ducts.
Homes with existing ductwork
If you already have ducts from a furnace or AC system, switching to a ducted heat pump is straightforward and cost-effective.
New construction or major renovation
Building new or gutting to the studs? Design your system around an all-electric heat pump from day one.
Maximizing CleanBC rebates
Full electric conversions from gas typically qualify for the highest available rebates in BC.
Key Benefits
Zero Emissions On-Site
No gas combustion, no CO risk, no fossil fuel dependency. 100% electric operation.
300% Efficient
Heat pumps move heat rather than create it — delivering up to 3x more energy than they consume.
Heating + Cooling
One system replaces both your furnace and AC. Heats in winter, cools in summer.
Highest Rebates
Gas-to-electric conversions typically qualify for the largest available BC rebates.
Quieter Operation
Modern inverter heat pumps are significantly quieter than traditional furnace blowers.
No Gas Line Needed
Eliminate gas line maintenance, leak risks, and monthly connection fees.
