Heat Pumps, Heat and Cool - Proven Technology
Cut Your Energy Use by 40% with a Heat Pump
With up to 300% efficiency in Alberta climate, a heat pump is three times more efficient than a high-efficiency furnace, making it an ideal choice for cutting costs and reducing your carbon footprint.
Switching from a furnace to a heat pump in Alberta, where 60-65% of home energy goes to space heating, can reduce your energy use by 40-45%. Heat pumps require only 20-22% of the total energy to heat your home.
What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a highly efficient home HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system that provides both heating in winter and cooling in summer, dual functionality. It transfers heat energy instead of generating it, allowing it to deliver comfortable temperatures year-round with significantly less energy consumption.
How in the winter do heat pumps transfer heat from the cold outside ? the outdoor unit is designed to take the cold outside air (colder than the indoor air) and further strips the heat energy resulting in the air leaving the outdoor unit actually much cooler than the ambient temperature it was when it entered the outdoor unit.
Efficient Heating in Winter, Cooling in Summer - For Free!
With a heat pump, your savings during the heating season can typically offset the costs of cooling, effectively giving you free cooling during Calgary’s hot summers. No need to invest in a separate air conditioning unit - this heat pump system does it all.
Why a Heat Pump is Perfect for Calgary’s Climate
Designed for Cold Climates. Worried about Calgary’s extreme winters? Modern heat pumps are built for cold climates, efficiently providing warmth even when temperatures dip to -25°C. You can stay cozy, knowing your system is designed for reliability, even in the coldest months.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps like the Samsung Max Heat® 3.0 can operate efficiently in temperatures as low as -25°C. Advanced compressors ensure reliable heating even when the weather turns frigid.
Adapt to Calgary’s Changing Weather
Calgary’s unpredictable Chinooks and recent heat waves can make temperature control a challenge. A heat pump adapts quickly, offering seamless cooling on hot days and powerful heating during cold snaps. It’s the perfect solution for Calgary’s dynamic weather patterns that change in an instant, from freezing cold to warm Chinook winds, and the sun often over heats your home even on cold days. A heat pump adjusts automatically and harvests these swings, ensuring comfort without overheating or wasting energy.
Hybrid Heat Pump and Furnace: Duel Fuel System Has Got You Covered During Coldest Days
Your furnace becomes your trusted back-up, while the heat pump takes the prime stage. Your hybrid system combines the efficiency of a heat pump with the extreme cold weather reliability of a furnace.
When Calgary’s temperatures hit extreme lows, your furnace will seamlessly take over, ensuring your home stays warm during the coldest 3-5% of the hours in Calgary’s year.
Combat Climate Change with a Heat Pump
Concerned about climate change? Switching to a heat pump with three times the efficiency of high-efficiency furnaces cuts down on fossil fuel consumption. And with your furnace typically producing approximately 0.18 kg of CO2/kWh of natural gas, you lower your carbon emissions and provide a greener future for your community.
The overwhelming majority of homeowners in Canada, the U.S., and Europe are deeply concerned about climate change. Surveys show that over 70% of people in countries like Canada, France, and Germany view climate change as a major threat, according to Ipsos Pew Research Center, ABACUSData
Albertans Are Also Concerned About Climate Change
Albertans are proud and efficient producers of oil and gas, knowing that the world will continue to demand it for its security for years to come.
While concern about climate change is slightly lower in Alberta compared to other regions, nearly 60% of Albertans still worry about its impact, irrespective of age, income, or education. Two-thirds of Albertans believe climate change poses a severe threat to the planet, and 53% want the Alberta provincial government to do more to fight climate change. Meanwhile, 61% believe energy companies and 58% believe businesses should also do more about this issue, according to 2024 Blue Sky Survey
Lower Utility Bills Without Sacrificing Your Comfort
In Alberta, where utility prices vary and therefore are always a concern, a heat pump allows you to take charge of your energy use. By efficiently heating and cooling your home, you’ll save money without sacrificing comfort.
In a National Resources Canada study, households using cold-climate heat pumps in Alberta reported at 25-50% reduction in energy consumption for heating compared to natural gas and a 30-40% lower cooling costs compared to standalone air conditioners.
Upgrade Your AC to a Heat Pump with Minimal Changes
With systems like Samsung's Hylex that we install, you can transform your existing AC into a heat pump by upgrading only the outdoor unit of the system.
Enjoy efficient heating and cooling without the need for a complete replacement, lowering your energy costs and upfront investment.
