Why Heat Pumps Are Ideal for Coquitlam Homes
Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it — making them 2–3 times more efficient than gas furnaces. Modern cold-climate heat pumps operate efficiently down to -25°C, making them well-suited for Coquitlam's mild winters. They also cool your home in summer, replacing the need for a separate air conditioner.
BC Hydro and the CleanBC program offer substantial rebates for switching from gas to electric heat pump heating — up to $6,000 for qualifying systems. As a registered CleanBC contractor, HVAC Coquitlam handles the entire rebate application process on your behalf.
We install both ductless mini-split systems (ideal for homes without existing ductwork or for room-by-room zoning) and ducted heat pumps that integrate seamlessly with your existing duct system. We'll recommend the right solution for your home's layout and your long-term energy goals.
Benefits of Heat Pump Installation
- ✓BC Hydro rebates up to $6,000: Registered CleanBC contractors can submit your rebate application — significantly reducing the net installation cost.
- ✓Heats and cools in one unit: One heat pump replaces both your furnace and air conditioner, simplifying maintenance and reducing equipment costs.
- ✓2–3x more efficient than gas: Heat pumps deliver 2–3 units of heat energy for every unit of electricity consumed — dramatically cutting energy costs.
- ✓Works in BC winter temperatures: Modern cold-climate heat pumps (HSPF2 ≥10) operate efficiently throughout Coquitlam winters.
- ✓Ductless & ducted options: Mini-splits for homes without ducts; ducted systems for homes with existing ductwork.
- ✓Reduces carbon footprint: Switching from gas to electric heat pump heating significantly reduces your home's greenhouse gas emissions.

What Coquitlam Homeowners Say
Y.K.
Westwood Plateau, Coquitlam
"Got a Mitsubishi ductless system installed in our 1980s home that never had AC. The team was clean, efficient, and handled the CleanBC rebate paperwork for us. Received a $4,200 rebate cheque — net cost was very reasonable."
F.B.
Burke Mountain, Coquitlam
"Replaced our gas furnace with a ducted Trane heat pump. The HVAC Coquitlam team sized it correctly and installed it in one day. First winter was warmer and our utility bills dropped considerably."

Heat Pump Installation FAQs — Coquitlam
Do heat pumps work in Coquitlam winters?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps operate efficiently down to -25°C — well below anything Coquitlam experiences. Units with an HSPF2 rating of 10 or higher are suitable for BC winters and qualify for the highest CleanBC rebate tiers.
How much is the BC Hydro heat pump rebate in 2024?
BC Hydro and CleanBC offer rebates of up to $6,000 for qualifying heat pump installations when replacing an electric baseboard or gas heating system. The exact amount depends on the system type, efficiency rating, and your current heating fuel. We'll calculate your exact rebate eligibility at your free assessment.
What's the difference between a ductless and ducted heat pump?
A ductless mini-split has an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor wall-mounted units — no ductwork needed. A ducted heat pump connects to your existing duct system, distributing heat through existing vents. Ductless is ideal for homes without ducts or for adding heating to specific areas; ducted works best when existing ductwork is in good condition.
How long does heat pump installation take in Coquitlam?
A single-zone ductless mini-split typically takes 4–6 hours. Multi-zone ductless systems may take a full day. Ducted heat pump installations take 6–10 hours depending on whether the air handler is replacing an existing furnace or is a new installation.
Will a heat pump replace my gas furnace entirely?
In most Coquitlam homes, a properly sized cold-climate heat pump can replace a gas furnace entirely. For very large homes or those with significant heat loss, a dual-fuel system (heat pump + gas backup) may be recommended. We'll advise on the most cost-effective configuration based on your home's size and insulation.
