Red Seal CertifiedWhat 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.

The young chaps, Marlon Marcuflo and Sylvia Richard, were wonderful to deal with. They were extremely polite, very tidy and efficient in their work, were right on schedule and did an excellent job.
