What New Glasgow Residents Ask About Home Energy?
Can a heat pump replace oil heating in New Glasgow?
Yes — and it's one of the most popular upgrades in Pictou County. A cold-climate heat pump can handle New Glasgow's winters (down to -18°C) as a primary heat source. Most homeowners keep their oil system as backup but find they use 70–80% less oil. With oil prices volatile, the switch typically pays for itself in 3–4 years.
Is solar worth it in Pictou County?
Pictou County receives about 1,350 peak sun hours annually, which is solid for solar. With Nova Scotia Power's net metering program, your excess energy is credited to your bill. A typical 8–10 kW system can offset 70–90% of an average home's electricity. Combined with a heat pump, you can dramatically reduce your total energy costs.
How do I insulate an older home in New Glasgow?
Many Pictou County homes are coal-era buildings with minimal insulation. We recommend starting with the basement/crawl space (closed-cell spray foam for moisture control), then attic insulation (blown-in cellulose), and finally exterior walls. This staged approach maximizes energy savings while working within your budget. Most homes see 25–40% heating cost reductions.
What areas does Greenfoot serve from New Glasgow?
From our Granton Abercrombie Road office, we serve all of Pictou County — New Glasgow, Stellarton, Westville, Trenton, Pictou, and surrounding communities. We also cover Truro, Antigonish, and the entire northern Nova Scotia corridor. For province-wide coverage, we have offices in Dartmouth, Kentville, Bridgewater, and Sydney.
Do I need a backup generator in Pictou County?
Power outages are common in rural Pictou County, especially during winter storms and hurricanes. A whole-home backup generator ensures your heat pump, sump pump, and essential systems keep running during outages. We install and service Generac and other leading generator brands with automatic transfer switches for seamless backup power.
