Heat pump installation by someone who actually knows Pickering

Pickering homes span post-war properties near the waterfront and Bay Ridges to large newer builds in Seaton and Duffin Heights. Each type has different heating loads and ductwork configurations. Zack has been installing heat pumps across Pickering for years and knows what each neighbourhood's homes typically need, including how to pair a heat pump with an existing furnace where that makes more sense.

Heat pump systems we install in Pickering

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 heat pumps maintain efficiency well below freezing, making them genuinely viable for Pickering 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.

A note from Zack

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

Pickering has real variety in its housing stock, from the older waterfront homes in Bay Ridges to the large new builds in Seaton. The right heat pump for one is wrong for the other. Getting the sizing right and choosing the right system type matters more than the brand, though Mitsubishi is my preference for cold-weather reliability.

I've been doing heat pump installations in Pickering for years. Call me and we'll assess your home properly and tell you honestly what makes sense.

Frequently asked questions

How much does heat pump installation cost in Pickering?

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 heat pumps 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 Seaton community and Duffin Heights?

Yes. We cover all of Pickering including Seaton and Duffin Heights in the north end. Same owner, same service, same pricing wherever you are.
