Heat Pumps in Windsor, ON
With the warmest winters of any Ontario city and hot summers, Windsor is one of the best places in Canada for heat pumps. One outdoor unit cools all summer and heats through much of the winter.
Request an HVAC technicianHow it works
A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel. In summer it pulls heat out of the house; in winter it pulls heat from the outdoor air into the house.
Mild winters help
Windsor's milder winters let a cold-climate heat pump carry more of the heating season than in most Canadian cities.
Hybrid systems
Many homes pair a heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump runs on mild days and the furnace takes over in deep cold.
Defrost
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit melts frost off its coil now and then and may give off steam. A short pause in warm air is normal.
Cooling included
In summer, a heat pump works exactly like central air, so it replaces an aging AC.
Placement
Set the outdoor unit on a stand above snow and away from roof drip lines, with clear space around it.
Electrical
Heat pumps need a suitable circuit; older panels may need an upgrade.
Programs
Government and utility programs for heat pumps change often; check what's current before you buy.

Maintenance
Keep the outdoor unit clear of snow, leaves and grass, change filters and book a yearly check.
Emergency heat
Use emergency heat only if the heat pump has failed; it runs on backup heat alone and costs more.
