Yes. New cold-climate heat pumps are designed to be effective even in frigid temperatures, with many models capable of providing heat down to -30°C. They are a reliable option for Nova Scotia winters, and can be paired with a supplementary heating system for added peace of mind.

Ducted heat pumps (also called central heat pumps) use your home’s existing ductwork to distribute air, while ductless systems (also called mini-splits) use wall-mounted units to maintain the temperature in each zone of your home. Ductless options are ideal for homes without ducts or for targeted heating and cooling in specific areas.

Most heat pump installations can take between one to three days, based on the system type and your home’s layout. After a quick assessment, our team can give you a clear timeline.
