Heat pump or gas furnace? For most Greater Vancouver homeowners, the answer isn’t just about staying warm—it’s about staying cool, too. ❄️🔥
With our mild winters, clean hydro grid, and rising summer temperatures, heat pumps have become the go-to upgrade. But is a traditional furnace (or a hybrid dual-fuel system) still the better fit for your house?
Here is what you need to weigh:
⚡️ Efficiency & Cooling: Heat pumps heat and cool while using a fraction of the electricity.
🔥 Upfront Cost: Furnaces still win on lower initial equipment costs, especially in older, draftier homes.
💰 Rebates: Provincial and utility programs can save you thousands on qualifying upgrades.
Read our complete breakdown to find out which setup makes the most sense for your floor plan and budget.
