Heat Pump Installation Toronto
Heat pump installation in Toronto and across the GTA: cold-climate central, hybrid and ductless heat pumps from Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Bosch, AirQuest and Amana, sized to your home and installed by a TSSA-certified team and registered HRSP rebate contractor.
A heat pump heats your home in winter and cools it in summer with one system. Today's cold-climate models keep heating well below -20°C, so they work for real Ontario winters, not just mild ones. Whether you want to replace an old air conditioner, add a heat pump to your gas furnace, go fully electric, or heat and cool a home with radiators and no ducts, we design the right system and install it cleanly. You can also explore our Heat Pump Services Toronto page and our full HVAC Installation Toronto & GTA services.

🏠 Hybrid Heat Pumps: Keep Your Furnace as Backup
Most Toronto homes already have a gas furnace and ducts. A hybrid heat pump (dual fuel) replaces your air conditioner with a heat pump and keeps the furnace for the coldest days:
- ✓ The heat pump heats your home through most of the season
- ✓ The furnace takes over automatically during deep cold
- ✓ You get central air conditioning in summer from the same outdoor unit
Hybrid systems are one of the most popular upgrades in Toronto and the GTA. Learn more in What is a hybrid HVAC system?
⚡ All-Electric Heat Pump Systems
An all-electric system pairs a cold-climate heat pump with an indoor air handler and electric backup heat, so the home needs no gas for heating. It suits homes leaving oil, propane or electric baseboard, and new construction. We size the backup heat properly; see how we size electric backup heat.
💡 Home heated by oil? You may qualify for a fully funded heat pump through the Oil to Heat Pump Program. Electric, propane and oil homes also qualify for the largest Home Renovation Savings rebates.
❄️ Ductless Heat Pumps for Homes Without Ducts
For homes with radiators or baseboard heat, additions, basements and garages, a ductless mini split heat pump adds efficient heating and air conditioning without ductwork. A compact outdoor unit connects to one indoor head (single-zone) or several (multi-zone), each with its own temperature control.
- ✓ Radiator and boiler homes that want AC
- ✓ Basement apartments
- ✓ Home additions and sunrooms
- ✓ Garages, studios and offices
