Red Seal CertifiedWhat System Are You Replacing in Sydney?
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.
Oil Furnace → Ducted Heat Pump
The dominant conversion in Cape Breton. If your home has a forced-air oil furnace, the existing ductwork makes the switch straightforward. Eliminate oil dependency and gain whole-home cooling.
Electric Baseboard → Ducted Heat Pump
Electric baseboard is common in some Cape Breton homes. A ducted heat pump delivers 3–4× more heat per kilowatt, though new ductwork installation is required.
Oil Boiler / HWBB → Ducted Heat Pump
Oil hot water baseboard systems are very common in Sydney. Converting requires new ductwork, but you eliminate oil costs entirely. For multi-zone HWBB homes, mini-splits may be more practical.
Aging Furnace → Modern System
Replace your aging furnace with a modern ducted heat pump that handles both heating and cooling efficiently — one system, one maintenance schedule.
Why Do Sydney 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.
Cape Breton has roughly 4,400–4,600 heating degree days annually — among the highest in Nova Scotia. Oil heating dominates the region, with many older homes from the coal mining and steel era. No natural gas service means oil-to-heat-pump conversions are the primary opportunity for Sydney homeowners.

"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.

Everyone we spoke to from Greenfoot was helpful and just seemed genuinely happy in their job.
