Our Process

How do I get started?

Start by taking our easy 5-minute quiz to get tailored product recommendations. Pick your preferred solution and configure it with complementary products and extended warranties, then start your financing application or choose to finalize your order with one of our product specialists. Your dedicated specialist will ensure that we have all the correct details for your order and help you complete your purchase.

What happens after I finalize my order?

Your dedicated product specialist will schedule a pre-installation inspection at a time that is convenient for you. The pre-installation inspection is important to confirm heat pump sizing and ensure that your installation goes smoothly. If your order needs to be adjusted based on the findings of our pre-installation inspection, your specialist will provide you with an updated price estimate. Once you're happy with the details of your order, we will schedule your installation date for your new, eco-friendly heat pump!

What are my payment options?

While we do take credit card payments, some of our customers find it more manageable to finance their purchase. We work with several trusted lending partners offering low rates and open loans with no prepayment penalty. Ask your product specialist about our financing offers.

About Heat Pumps

What kinds of heat pumps do you offer?

1Click specializes in cold-climate air-source heat pumps that have been tested and proven to be reliable, even in our cold Canadian winters. We offer both central ducted heat pump systems and ductless mini-split heat pumps. Our mini-split heat pumps are available in single-zone or multi-zone configurations to suit your needs.

What's the difference between a central heat pump and a mini-split?

Ducted heat pumps are a system of forced-air heating and cooling, which function like furnaces and air conditioners, but use significantly less energy. A ducted heat pump consists of two components: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit includes the compressor, condenser, and evaporator, while the inside unit has a fan and blower. Ducted heat pumps are best suited for larger homes or houses with existing ductwork.

In contrast, mini-split heat pumps do not need a central duct system as they use individual air distribution units (usually called "heads"), mounted on the walls in the home. Ductless mini-split heat pumps are very resourceful and help to cut down your power bills. They are also more convenient to install than typical HVAC systems. They can be installed in a single-zone configuration if you only need to heat and cool a single space, such as a garage or an addition, or they can be set up with multiple zones to serve as a ductless whole-home heating and cooling system.

How do air-source heat pumps work?

An electric heat pump works by transferring heat from one location to another using refrigerant and a compressor. In heating mode, it extracts heat from the outdoor air (even in cold temperatures) and transfers it indoors. In cooling mode, it reverses this process to remove heat from inside and release it outdoors. Watch our video on how a heat pump works to learn more.

How much does an electric heat pump cost?

The cost of an electric heat pump can vary depending on factors such as the size of the unit, installation requirements, and any additional features. On average, expect to invest between $3,000 to $15,000 for the equipment alone. Browse our available products to see transparent pricing for heat pumps and other systems right on our website. You can also get a personalized estimate for your specific heat pump project using our easy 5-minute online quiz.

How much does it cost to install a heat pump?

The cost of installation will depend on a number of factors, such as whether you are installing a central ducted heat pump or a ductless mini-split. Installation costs are also influenced by your existing electrical system, which may require some updates in order to accommodate an electric heat pump. The good news is that when you purchase a heat pump from 1Click, installation is always included.
