How do heat pumps work?

Air source heat pumps use electricity to extract heat from the air outside, and then amplify and transfer it inside to provide heating and hot water for your home. Heat pumps are generally around 300% efficient - meaning they can provide three times more heat energy than they use.

Electric heat pumps offer an efficient way to reduce energy bills and carbon footprint by transferring heat rather than generating it. They provide both heating and cooling, using less energy than traditional systems. Grants and rebates make them a cost-effective, eco-friendly investment.

What types 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 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.
