Why Choose Alpine Air for Heat Pumps?

Year-Round Comfort from One System

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for separate furnace and air conditioner units. One system handles your comfort needs in every season.

Energy Efficiency Savings

Heat pumps move heat rather than generating it, achieving efficiency ratings of 300% or higher. This translates to significantly lower operating costs compared to electric resistance heating or older systems.

Cold Climate Performance

Today's cold climate heat pumps are designed to perform in temperatures well below freezing. We install units specifically engineered for Canadian winters, ensuring reliable heating even during cold snaps.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Heat pumps produce no direct emissions and, when paired with renewable electricity, offer a path to significantly reduced household carbon footprint.

Common Heat Pumps Issues We Address

Heat Pump Not Heating

Could indicate refrigerant issues, a faulty reversing valve, defrost problems, or thermostat settings. Professional diagnosis identifies the specific cause.

Icing on Outdoor Unit

Some frost is normal in heating mode, but excessive ice buildup suggests defrost cycle problems, low refrigerant, or airflow restrictions.

Heat Pump Running Constantly

May indicate the unit is undersized, has low refrigerant charge, or is struggling with extreme temperatures. Could also signal a thermostat issue.

Unusual Noises

Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds from your heat pump suggest mechanical issues that should be addressed before causing further damage.

Heat Pumps FAQ

Common questions about our heat pumps services.

Yes, modern cold climate heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently in temperatures as low as -25°C or colder. We install units specifically rated for our Ontario climate, and many homeowners use them as their primary heating source with backup heat for extreme cold.
Savings depend on your current heating system and local energy costs. Homeowners switching from electric baseboard or oil heating often see 30-50% reductions in heating costs. We can estimate your potential savings based on your specific situation.
Air source heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air and are more affordable to install. Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps use the stable underground temperature for even greater efficiency but require significant excavation. We can help you decide which type suits your property and budget.
Heat pumps need annual professional maintenance similar to a central air conditioner. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and verifying defrost operation. Regular maintenance ensures efficient operation and long equipment life.
In many cases, yes. A properly sized cold climate heat pump can serve as your primary heating and cooling system. Some homeowners keep their existing furnace as backup for the coldest days, while others rely entirely on their heat pump.
