Transitioning to an energy-efficient heat pump is one of the best upgrades you can make for your home's comfort and energy bills, but these high-draw systems require specialized electrical infrastructure.

We ensure your electrical panel, breaker sizing, and outdoor disconnects meet strict Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) standards so your new system runs safely and reliably year-round.

FAQ Section
- Q: Does my electrical panel need an upgrade before installing a heat pump?A: It depends on your current service capacity and existing electrical load (especially if you have an EV charger or electric stove). Many older homes with 100-amp service require a panel upgrade to 200 amps to safely handle a modern heat pump.
- Q: Why can’t a heat pump plug into a standard household outlet?A: Heat pumps draw a significant amount of electricity, especially during startup and peak heating/cooling cycles. They require high-voltage, high-amperage dedicated circuits to prevent dangerous overheating and tripped breakers.
