Frequently Asked Questions

Are heat pumps noisy?
Heat pumps are generally quieter than traditional HVAC systems. However, our modern units are designed to operate with minimal noise. Certain indoor units operate at a noise level lower than the typical sounds in your home. While outdoor units produce less than 55 dBa of noise, indoor units often function at volumes below 45 dBa.

How does air quality affect my health?
Poor indoor air quality can have profound health effects, causing or exacerbating respiratory issues, allergies, asthma, and other illnesses. Exposure to indoor pollutants like mold, chemicals, and particulate matter can lead to headaches, fatigue, and long-term health risks, emphasizing the importance of maintaining clean, well-ventilated indoor spaces.

Can a heat pump replace a furnace?
Ductless systems are engineered for optimal performance down to -26 degrees Celsius and typically don't necessitate an additional heating source on Vancouver Island. Nevertheless, some users may opt to retain baseboard heaters for supplementary warmth or for spaces outside the heat pump's reach, such as the basement bathroom

How much ventilation do I need in my home to improve indoor air quality?
The amount of ventilation needed depends on factors like home size, occupancy, and local climate. As a general guideline, aim for 0.35 air changes per hour (ACH) for good indoor air quality. We are happy to provide an assessment and recommend an appropriate ventilation system for your needs.

Why is it important to get an annual service?
Regular heat pump servicing ensures efficient operation, extends lifespan, maintains comfort, lowers energy bills, and prevents costly repairs, promoting sustainability.

Can heat pumps be used for cooling?
Yes, heat pumps can be used for cooling. They operate in reverse during the warmer months, extracting heat from indoor air and transferring it outside, effectively cooling indoor spaces. This dual-functionality makes heat pumps energy-efficient and versatile for both heating and cooling purposes.
expand_more
What can I do to improve indoor air quality in my home?
A robust ventilation system enhances indoor air quality by continuously exchanging stale, pollutant-laden indoor air with fresh outdoor air. This dilutes indoor contaminants, regulates humidity, and reduces the buildup of allergens, toxins, and odors, fostering a healthier and more comfortable living or working environment.
