Heat pump installation by someone who actually knows Oshawa

Oshawa homes vary more than most Durham Region cities. The older bungalows in Lakeview and O'Neill have different heating needs than the larger two-storeys in Centennial or the newer builds in Windfields and Kedron. A heat pump that's right for one home is wrong for another. Zack has been installing heat pumps across Oshawa for years, prefers Mitsubishi systems for their cold-weather performance, and sizes every installation based on your home's actual heat load.

Heat pump systems we install in Oshawa

The right system depends on your home's layout, existing equipment, and heating goals. Here's what we install:

Most popular

Air source, ducted

Full home heating and cooling through existing ductwork. Mitsubishi's heat pumps maintain efficiency well below freezing, making it genuinely viable for Oshawa winters. Eligible for up to $7,500 HRS rebate.

No ductwork needed

Ductless mini-split

Ideal for older Oshawa homes without ductwork, garages, additions, or basement apartments. Zone-specific control, installed in a single day. HRS rebate eligible.

HRS rebate eligible

Hybrid system

Pairs a heat pump with your existing gas furnace. The heat pump handles most heating, the furnace covers the coldest days. Preserves existing equipment while cutting operating costs.

Up to $12,000 back

Ground source (geothermal)

Highest efficiency, lowest long-term operating cost. Significant upfront investment, but the $12,000 HRS rebate changes the math considerably. We assess feasibility based on your property.

What does a heat pump cost in Oshawa?

Air source, ducted (replaces AC) $7,500 – $18,000 Up to $7,500 rebate

What Oshawa customers say

★★★★★

"We had a heat pump installed in our garage along with a propane backup heater and couldn't be happier. Zack was knowledgeable, punctual, and took the time to explain how everything works and how to get the best performance out of the system. The installation was clean and well organized, and they left the space spotless. You can tell they take pride in their work."

A note from Zack

Zack working on a heat pump installation in Oshawa
Zack on a job in Durham Region

Heat pumps are a bigger conversation than a furnace replacement. There are real decisions to make: ducted or ductless, hybrid or full replacement, what brand, what size, and whether the rebate math actually works for your situation. I'd rather have that conversation properly than rush someone into a system that isn't right for their home.

Oshawa homes vary a lot. An older bungalow in Lakeview has completely different requirements than a newer build in Windfields. I've been doing these installations for years and I know the difference. Mitsubishi is my preferred brand because their cold-weather performance is genuinely better for Durham Region winters, but I'll always tell you what's right for your specific situation, not just what's easiest to sell. Call me and we'll talk it through properly.

Frequently asked questions

How much does heat pump installation cost in Oshawa?

Before the HRS rebate, typical installed costs range from $3,500 for a single-zone ductless system to $35,000+ for ground source. Most ducted air source installations land between $7,500 and $18,000. After the rebate of up to $7,500 for air source, the out-of-pocket cost can be significantly lower. The most accurate number comes from a free in-home assessment.

What is the Ontario HRS rebate and how do I qualify?

The Home Renovation Savings program offers up to $7,500 for an air source heat pump and up to $12,000 for ground source. As a registered HRS contractor, we handle the entire application process. Pre-approval must be obtained before installation begins. Contact us before any work starts to make sure you qualify and the rebate is secured.

Will a heat pump work in an Oshawa winter?

Yes, if it's properly sized and the right model. Mitsubishi's Zuba-Central and H2i lines are rated to -30°C and maintain real efficiency well below freezing. Generic heat pumps can struggle in Canadian winters, which is why brand and sizing matter more here than in milder climates.

Should I get a hybrid system or replace my furnace entirely?

It depends on your furnace's age and condition. If it has years of life left, a hybrid setup pairs it with a heat pump and preserves your existing investment. If it's aging, a full replacement may make more financial sense. We'll give you an honest answer based on your specific situation.

Can you install a heat pump in a garage or workshop?

Yes. A ductless mini-split is one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to heat and cool a garage or workshop year-round. We can pair it with a propane or gas backup for the coldest days if needed.

Do you install heat pumps in the north end of Oshawa, Windfields and Kedron?

Yes. We cover all of Oshawa including the newer subdivisions in the north end. Same owner, same service, same pricing wherever you are in the city.
