Go Green by Upgrading to a Heat Pump
Fighting climate change is important to us here at Reliance®, and we believe that heat pumps can help Canadians operate their homes in a more environmentally sustainable and affordable manner.
Heat pumps both heat and cool your home – replacing your AC in the summer and keeping your family comfortable when it isn’t too cold outside. That makes them one of the easiest ways to help reduce your CO2 emissions without sacrificing comfort.
And since a heat pump is more efficient than a furnace at milder temperatures, it may help you reduce your energy bills too. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint from an energy usage (running the equipment) standpoint. This is because the electricity grid here is fairly clean and produced largely from non-carbon emitted sources.

About Heat Pumps
Choosing the right heat pump for your home
Not all heat pumps are created equal. Choosing the right heat pump will help it run efficiently, help keep your budget in check and your home feeling comfortable.
Before you choose a heat pump unit, here are a few things to consider:
How big is your home? Do you live in a warmer or colder part of the country? Both are key considerations when determining your unit size and power.
How well is your home insulated? The amount and type of insulation will influence the size and power of the heat pump you will need.
Since a heat pump works to cool and heat your home, there are two ways to measure its energy efficiency. Look at the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) to check its cooling efficiency, and the heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) to check its heating efficiency.
The higher the SEER and HSPF rating, the more energy you could save and the lower your operating costs could be.
