“FIXED A LONG STANDING ISSUE I HAD FROM POOR INSTALLATION BY ANOTHER COMPANY!”
The two technicians Tanner and Halim were excellent, did a great job, very tidy, and identified 2 problems with my heat pump head, and fixed a long standing issue I had from poor installation by another company!
Thank you very much, looking forward to using Greenfoot again.
“I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OURHEAT 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.
"When they left the house there was no mess to clean up!"
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. When they left the house there was no mess to clean up. I would recommend Greenfoot Energy Solutions to anyone thinking of upgrading their home.
I would hire them again without hesitation.
“THEIR ENTIRE TEAM IS EXTREMELYEXPERIENCED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND CONSIDERATE”
We hired Greenfoot to install 2 heat pumps. From the beginning to end - initial home visit to the final installation touches - they were wonderful to work with. Their entire team is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and considerate; and were very accommodating. We consulted with many other companies before deciding to go with Greenfoot and feel that we made the best possible decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dual Fuel Heat Pumps
Can't find an answer? Reach out to us anytime
Because a dual fuel setup involves two distinct systems, regular maintenance is critical for safety and efficiency. Greenfoot manages this through their dedicated "Service Yeti" division, which offers tiered membership plans (Base, Summit, and Peak) to cover annual inspections. These visits include cleaning the heat pump coils to ensure proper airflow and rigorously inspecting the gas furnace’s burner and venting to prevent carbon monoxide issues. Keeping both sides of the system tuned up not only extends the equipment's lifespan but is often required to keep your manufacturer warranties valid.
Greenfoot follows a structured "Assessment to Activation" process that typically begins with a free home energy assessment to calculate your heat load and review existing ductwork. Once the design is finalized and their in-house team handles the municipal and electrical permits, the physical installation of the outdoor unit and indoor furnace generally takes one to two days. The process concludes with a comprehensive system demonstration, where a technician walks you through your new smart thermostat and shows you how the system automatically manages the fuel switching, so you don't have to guess when to change settings.
Greenfoot provides extensive administrative support to help you access available financial incentives. Their team, which often includes in-house permit specialists, manages the complex paperwork required for federal programs like the Greener Homes initiatives and provincial rebates from organizations like NB Power or Efficiency NS. They ensure that the specific combination of heat pump and furnace installed in your home is on the eligible product lists, ensuring you don't miss out on grants due to technicalities or filing errors.
Yes, the system is designed to lower bills by minimizing your reliance on the most expensive heating method at any given time. Greenfoot technicians program a specific "balance point" (usually between -5°C and -10°C) into your smart thermostat. Above this temperature, your home uses cheaper electricity via the heat pump; below it, the system switches to gas, which is often more cost-effective than the electric resistance backup strips used by standard heat pumps in deep cold. This intelligent switching helps homeowners avoid the energy spikes associated with "emergency heat" during freezing snaps.
Greenfoot Energy Solutions primarily installs Napoleon and Tosot dual fuel systems, chosen specifically for their high performance in cold climates. They frequently pair Napoleon gas furnaces, which boast high efficiency (AFUE) ratings of up to 97%, with Tosot inverter-driven heat pumps capable of maintaining performance in temperatures as low as -30°C. This combination provides a robust "best of both worlds" setup where the heat pump handles the bulk of the winter workload, and the high-efficiency furnace acts as a reliable backup for the coldest days of the year.
A dual fuel system is essentially a hybrid heating solution for your home that combines an efficient electric heat pump with a powerful gas furnace (using either natural gas or propane). The system automatically switches between the two fuel sources based on the outdoor temperature to maximize efficiency. In moderately cold weather, the electric heat pump handles the heating, but when temperatures drop to extreme lows where heat pumps work harder, the system seamlessly transitions to the gas furnace. This ensures you always use the most effective fuel source for the current weather, avoiding the "cold blow" of some heat pumps in deep winter while bypassing the high cost of running a gas furnace all season.
