Red Seal CertifiedWhat System Are You Replacing in Vancouver?
A ducted heat pump replaces your existing furnace, boiler, or baseboard system with a single whole-home unit. Every home has a different starting point — here's how a centrally ducted heat pump fits yours.
Gas Furnace → Ducted Heat Pump
The standard Vancouver conversion. Your FortisBC gas furnace ductwork is ready for a heat pump. Vancouver's mild climate delivers the highest heat pump efficiency in Canada.
Gas Furnace + AC → Single System
Replace both units with one efficient system. After the 2021 heat dome, Vancouver homeowners need reliable cooling — a ducted heat pump provides both.
Electric Baseboard → Ducted Heat Pump
Common in older Vancouver apartments and character homes. Ductwork installation is needed, but the efficiency gains in this mild climate are exceptional.
Oil Furnace → Ducted Heat Pump
Some older Vancouver properties still use oil heating. A ducted heat pump eliminates oil dependency and adds efficient cooling.
Why Do Vancouver Homeowners Choose Ducted Heat Pumps?
Ducted heat pumps deliver up to 60% energy savings over traditional heating by using your existing ductwork with cold-climate technology rated to -30°C.
Vancouver has roughly 2,800–3,000 heating degree days — one of Canada's mildest climates. Gas furnaces are standard in houses, while many condos and older character homes use electric baseboard. The 2021 heat dome transformed cooling from a luxury to a necessity, making ducted heat pumps the ideal single-system solution.
Vancouver Climate Challenges
- 1Natural gas furnaces deeply entrenched in Vancouver's housing market
- 2Dense housing — many condos and apartments with electric baseboard, no ductwork
- 3Older character homes (Kitsilano, Main St, Mount Pleasant) may lack ductwork
- 4Arctic outflow events can briefly push temperatures to -5°C to -10°C
- 5Heat dome events have made cooling essential — no longer optional
How Ducted Heat Pumps Help
- Vancouver's mild climate means heat pumps run at peak efficiency all winter
- Houses and townhouses commonly have gas furnace ductwork ready for conversion
- One system provides both heating and essential cooling for heat events
- Exceptional year-round efficiency — COP stays high in mild temperatures
- Gas-to-electric transition heavily supported by BC programs

"I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OUR HEAT PUMP ORIGINALLY"
Great company to deal with. We hired them to move an existing heat pump after the original installer refused to help us. The estimator and the installer were both very polite, careful and thorough. I only wish they installed our heat pump originally. I would hire them again without hesitation.

The Greenfoot Team did amazing work in our home. Our old house (built in 1959) feels like a brand new construction thanks to the ductless heat pumps, spray foam insulation and HVAC installed by the friendliest staff! Everyone we spoke to from Greenfoot was helpful and just seemed genuinely happy in their job.
