| System type | Ducted, ductless, hybrid or fully electric, based on your home |
| Efficiency | SEER2 for cooling, HSPF2 for heating. See SEER and HSPF. |
| Rebate eligibility | On Natural Resources Canada's qualified list. See rebates. |
| Electrical panel | Room for the outdoor unit and any electric backup heat |
| Installer | Registered for rebates, sizes properly, and stands behind the work |
