Heat pumps that still work in Alberta

A builder-grade heat pump that quits at −10°C is the wrong machine for this city. We spec cold-climate equipment with a published capacity at Canadian design temperatures, then decide whether it should stand alone or sit in dual-fuel with the furnace you already trust.

The outdoor pad, line-set, electrical, and defrost settings are where installs go cheap and then fail. We run new line-set when the old one is the wrong size or full of residue, set backup-heat lockouts so the furnace does not fight the heat pump, and show you which thermostat mode to leave it in from October to April.

How we do it

The visit, step by step

1

Pick the climate kit

Cold-climate model, not a southern AC with a heat-pump sticker.

2

Plan dual-fuel

Furnace stays as backup when that is the honest design.

3

Set the outdoor side

Pad, clearances, line-set, disconnect, and a level that will still be level in April.

4

Teach the thermostat

Lockouts, defrost, and a simple winter/summer explanation.

Included

What you are actually buying

  • Cold-climate or dual-fuel heat pump
  • Electrical and disconnect sized for the unit
  • Line-set, pad, and outdoor clearances
  • Backup-heat and defrost configuration
  • Cooling season setup on the same visit
  • Rebate and registration help

Book this when

  • You want lower winter bills without giving up gas backup
  • The AC and furnace are both due and one system can do both
  • A quote you already have ignored Alberta design temps
  • You need cooling and are open to a heat pump instead of a one-way AC

Questions we actually get

Will a heat pump heat my house at −30°C?

A true cold-climate unit still produces heat there. Output drops, which is why dual-fuel with a furnace is often the right Edmonton answer. We do not sell a unit that needs emergency heat every January night.

Do I keep my furnace?

Often yes. Dual-fuel uses the heat pump most of the winter and brings the furnace in on the worst days. If the furnace is finished, we talk about a full system, not a leftover box.

Is it noisy outside?

Modern cold-climate units are quieter than a tired 1990s condenser. Placement and a level pad matter more than the brochure decibel number.

What about ice on the outdoor unit?

Defrost is normal. We set it so the unit clears itself without turning your sidewalk into a rink or short-cycling all night.
