Why Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient HVAC System?
Upgrading your HVAC system to a more energy-efficient model offers several benefits:
1. Lower Monthly Energy Bills
Newer systems with higher SEER and AFUE ratings use less energy to heat or cool your home, resulting in lower utility bills. In fact, you could see savings of up to 30% on your energy bills by upgrading to an energy-efficient furnace or heat pump.
2. Improved Comfort
Energy-efficient HVAC systems provide more consistent heating and cooling. This means fewer hot and cold spots, better temperature control, and quieter operation.
3. Environmental Impact
By upgrading to an energy-efficient system, you’re reducing your carbon footprint. Systems that use less energy produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Do You Have Questions About Heat Pump Installation?
The duration of heat pump installation can vary based on different factors, such as the type of heat pump being installed and the complexity of your home's layout or existing HVAC systems. Typically, we can install a heat pump in one to three days.
Your heat pump will require a sturdy and level base for proper operation. At Lakeshore Heating & Cooling, we offer two options: gravel or concrete. Gravel bases are a cost-effective solution that provides good drainage, while concrete bases offer a more durable and stable platform for the unit.
Heat pumps can be installed in most homes, but the ideal type of heat pump can depend on the home's existing heating/cooling system, the local climate, and the home's insulation. A professional HVAC assessment can help determine the best heat pump system for your needs.
Depending on the installation type, we may need to make small cuts to your home. For ductless mini-split systems, a small hole (typically around 3 inches) is required to connect the outdoor and indoor units. We ensure that any modifications are minimal and sealed properly to prevent air leaks or damage to your home.
If your current electrical system cannot support the power demands of a new heat pump, you may need to upgrade your wiring. This depends on the system’s size and efficiency. During our initial inspection, we assess your home’s electrical setup to determine if upgrades are necessary and discuss the best course of action with you.
The cost of heat pump installation on Vancouver Island can vary based on the type of heat pump, the complexity of the installation, and labor costs. On average, the cost can range from a $6000 to $12,000+. It's best to contact us so we can provide you with a detailed and accurate quote.
With regular maintenance, a heat pump can last between 10 to 15 years, on average. Some high-quality models may even last up to 20 years.
Regular maintenance for a heat pump includes cleaning or replacing filters, cleaning the outdoor unit, and having it inspected annually by a professional HVAC technician to ensure it's operating at peak efficiency.
Heat pumps are most efficient in moderate climates, but advancements in technology have made certain types of heat pumps, such as cold climate heat pumps, effective even in colder temperatures. Vancouver Island offers a temperate climate which is ideal for heat pump efficiency.
Most heat pumps come with a warranty that covers defects in manufacturing and craftsmanship. The length of the warranty can vary, but typically ranges from 5 to 10 years. It's important to fully understand the terms of your heat pump warranty, including what actions could potentially void it. We can discuss these with you during an estimate.
While all heat pumps make some noise, the amount of noise can vary depending on the make and model. Many modern heat pumps are designed to operate quietly and may be quieter than your existing heating or cooling system.
If you choose a ducted heat pump system and you already have ductwork in your home, we will need to assess your existing ductwork's suitability. If your ductwork is in good condition, it may be possible to use it with your new heat pump.
