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:
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.
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.
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.
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 Pickering?
The HRS rebate significantly changes the math. A mid-range ducted system at $8,000 could cost as little as $500 after the rebate. Flexible financing also available. See financing options →

A note from Zack
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.

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.
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.
