    What System Are You Replacing in St. John's?

    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.

    Electric Baseboard → Ducted Heat Pump

    72% of St. John's homes use electric baseboard. A ducted heat pump delivers 3–4× more heat per kilowatt. New ductwork is required, but annual savings of $1,200–$3,000 make it one of the best investments for NL homeowners.

    Oil Furnace → Ducted Heat Pump

    28% of St. John's homes use oil. If you have a forced-air oil furnace, the existing ductwork makes conversion straightforward. Eliminate oil dependency and gain cooling capability.

    Electric Furnace → Ducted Heat Pump

    Electric furnaces with existing ductwork are the easiest conversion. Switch to a heat pump and cut heating costs by 50–70% using the same ducts.

    Mixed Systems → Single Ducted Heat Pump

    Some St. John's homes use a combination of baseboard, space heaters, and furnaces. A ducted heat pump consolidates everything into one efficient system.

    Why Do St. John's 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.

    St. John's experiences roughly 4,800–5,000 heating degree days annually with notorious weather extremes — from heavy snow events to persistent fog. Electric baseboard heats about 72% of city homes, oil accounts for 28%, and no natural gas is available. Ducted heat pumps offer massive savings potential in this market.

    "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.

    Common Questions About Ducted Heat Pumps in St. John's?

    Expert answers to the questions St. John's homeowners ask most about centrally ducted heat pump systems — covering costs, sizing, efficiency, and rebates.

    Will a ducted heat pump handle St. John's extreme weather?
    Yes. Cold-climate ducted heat pumps are rated to -30°C and built for harsh conditions. We install outdoor units with weather-resistant features and position them for protection from St. John's notorious wind and snow accumulation.
    Can I switch from electric baseboard to a ducted system?
    Yes, but baseboard-heated homes need new ductwork installed. For St. John's iconic row houses downtown, the compact layout can make ductwork challenging — mini-splits are often more practical for these homes. Suburban homes are typically easier to duct.
    Are St. John's row houses good candidates for ducted heat pumps?
    The famous colorful row houses downtown are compact (often 1,000–1,200 sq ft) with limited space for ductwork. Mini-splits are usually the better fit for these homes. However, we assess each property individually — some row houses can accommodate compact duct systems.
    Is natural gas available in St. John's?
    No. Natural gas isn't available in Newfoundland. Your ducted heat pump will include electric backup strips for extreme cold events — the standard configuration for the province.
    How much can I save on heating in St. John's?
    Electric baseboard homeowners (72% of St. John's homes) typically save $1,200–$3,000 per year. This is one of the largest savings opportunities in Canada because NL has high electric baseboard usage and a long heating season.
    Will the fog and moisture damage my outdoor unit?
    Our outdoor units are designed for harsh maritime conditions. We position units for proper drainage and airflow, and offer maintenance plans that address St. John's unique fog and moisture exposure.
    How long does installation take in St. John's?
    From evaluation to completion, typically 1 to 3 weeks. Physical installation is usually done in a single day where ductwork exists. New ductwork installations take longer.
    What size system do I need?
    We perform a detailed heat loss calculation accounting for St. John's high heating degree days, wind exposure, fog, and your home's specific characteristics.
