Can a Heat Pump Replace My Furnace?

Yes. In Greater Vancouver's mild climate, a properly sized cold-climate heat pump can fully replace a gas furnace, providing both heating and air conditioning from one system. Many homeowners keep the furnace as backup in a hybrid setup, but a heat pump alone is viable for most local homes.

Full Replacement vs Hybrid

A cold-climate heat pump can serve as your sole heating and cooling system year-round in our climate. Alternatively, a hybrid (dual-fuel) system keeps your gas furnace as backup for the coldest days while the heat pump handles efficient heating and cooling the rest of the time. Both are popular; the right choice depends on your priorities and budget.

Benefits of Switching to a Heat Pump

Replacing a furnace with a heat pump adds air conditioning, can lower energy costs, reduces on-site emissions, and may unlock significant CleanBC and FortisBC rebates. For homes currently on electric baseboards or an aging furnace, a heat pump is often the smartest upgrade available today.
