How it works

How a heat pump works

A heat pump does not burn fuel to make heat. It moves heat from one place to another, which is why it uses so much less energy than baseboard, gas, or oil.

Winter

It brings heat in

Cold outside air
Heat pump
Your warm home

In winter, the heat pump pulls warmth out of the cold outside air, even when it is freezing, and brings it inside.

Summer

It pushes heat out

In summer, it works in reverse, moving heat out of your home to keep it cool. One system, all year round.

Will my BC Hydro bill go up?

A heat pump runs on electricity, but it is so efficient that your total heating cost usually goes down, especially if you heat with oil, propane, or electric baseboards today. The fair way to look at it is your total energy cost across the whole year.
