What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is a highly efficient, all-in-one heating and cooling system that transfers heat rather than generating it. In the winter, it pulls heat from the outside air (even when it’s cold) and transfers it indoors. In the summer, it reverses the process to cool your home.

There are two main types of heat pumps:

  • Air-source heat pumps (most common)

  • Ground-source or geothermal heat pumps

 

Heat pumps are electric-powered and can replace or supplement your furnace, boiler, or air conditioner, making them a versatile option for Alberta’s climate.

How Heat Pumps Work

Think of a heat pump as a reversible refrigerator:

  • In heating mode, it extracts heat from the outside air and pushes it into your home

  • In cooling mode, it removes heat from your home and releases it outside.

Thanks to modern inverter technology, cold-climate heat pumps are now reliable and effective in Edmonton’s winter conditions, performing efficiently down to -25°C and even lower with backup systems.

Cost of Installing a Heat Pump in Alberta

The cost depends on your home’s size, existing systems, and the type of heat pump you choose:

  • Air-source heat pump systems: $6,000 – $12,000+

  • Cold-climate ductless mini-splits: $4,000 – $8,000 per zone

  • Ground-source systems: $20,000+

 

However, grants and rebates can cover up to $5,000–$10,000 in costs, significantly reducing your out-of-pocket investment.

How much can you save with a heat pump?

Switching to a heat pump can lead to substantial energy savings:

  • Homeowners can save up to 50% on their annual heating and cooling costs.

  • Heat pumps are 300%–400% efficient, meaning for every unit of electricity used, they provide 3–4 units of heating or cooling.

In Edmonton, where energy prices can fluctuate and winter is long, energy efficiency equals real money saved.
