More info on the Canadian trend of increasing heat pump installations. I may put together a short thread on our research, decision criteria, and what impacted our ultimate choice. Let me know if anyone would be interested in that information from a somewhat ignorant source :-)

Good Morning #Canada
Yesterday, we purchased a new #HVAC system - a gas furnace and air-source #HeatPump. It's our 2nd heat pump as 16 years ago we installed geothermal in our previous home, thanks to a $10K energy rebate available at that time. Back then, I thought everyone would switch to this technology, but rebates disappeared, and upfront costs were a barrier. But new data shows heat pumps are almost even with traditional furnace installs.

Cooling our old house in summer. This house was built in 1940 so it has gone through all the stages and types of heating you can probably imagine.
We installed a ductless ("air source") heat pump a few years back. This was a revelation after 15 years of "window management" and fans to keep a lid on the intense heat of the Alberni Valley.
It has made a wonderful difference both for cheaper heating in winter and newfound cooling potential in summer. We only could get one big enough for two of three floors.
So basement and main floor have a register like this.
Today, on the first official hot day of summer it is:
Outside temp: 33°C
Top Floor (windows open, fans on): 30°C
Main Floor (windows closed HP set to 23°C): 25°C
Basement (HP set to 23): I would estimate 23°C
We also have a hybrid HP/Electric hot water tank in the basement that I have blowing its outlet air into the room for summer to help keep the temperature down in the basement.
