Heat Pumps | Reliance Home Comfort

Improve Comfort by Upgrading to a Heat Pump

Reliance® is dedicated to making your home as comfortable as it can be. And we’re helping lead the way with heat pumps, so Canadians can operate their homes in a manner that is comfortable and affordable.

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. Since a heat pump is more efficient than a furnace or baseboard heating at milder temperatures, it may help you reduce your energy bills in the spring and fall. They can also reduce your carbon footprint compared to electric resistance heating (baseboards, electric furnace) because they are more efficient and use less electricity.

About Heat Pumps

How does a heat pump work?
What are the environmental benefits of a heat pump?

During the summer, a heat pump keeps your home cool by removing heat from inside your home and moving it outside. During the spring and fall, it keeps your home comfortable by removing heat from the air outside and moving it inside. Your furnace only kicks in when the temperature really drops.

As a result, you get a cool, refreshing stream of air in the summer. In the fall, you’ll feel a warm, comforting flow of air.

Heat pumps run on electricity and consequently produce lower CO2 emissions than a furnace that burns natural gas.
Most electricity in Canada is produced through non-carbon emitting sources, especially in British Columbia and Ontario.
Since your furnace won’t be running as much, you could significantly reduce your home’s CO2 emissions.

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:

House Size and Location

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.

Insulation

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.

Energy Efficiency

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.
