If it’s time to replace your furnace, it’s the perfect opportunity to consider adding a central heat pump. By combining both units into a central system, you get efficient heating, built-in cooling, and lower energy costs, while modernizing your home in Quebec.
What is a central ducted system?
A central system includes two main components:
- a furnace, which heats and distributes air throughout the home;
- a central heat pump, which can both heat and cool your home using a duct network.
Together, they provide consistent comfort and even temperature in every room, in every season.
Why add a central heat pump to your furnace?
Significant energy savings
A central heat pump uses far less energy than a furnace alone because it transfers heat instead of generating it. In winter, it draws heat from outside air to warm your home, and in summer, it reverses the process to keep you cool, resulting in lower electricity bills.
Year-round comfort
With a central heat pump, the same duct system distributes warm or cool air evenly throughout your home. In addition to providing efficient heating, it also adds cooling capability — eliminating the need for window or portable air conditioners. You’ll enjoy balanced comfort and stable temperatures in every room, all year long.
A sustainable and eco-friendly choice
Modern central heat pumps are designed for high energy efficiency and help reduce the carbon footprint of home heating. By using less energy, you create a greener, more sustainable home.
Attractive government incentives
The Government of Quebec supports the adoption of energy-efficient systems through the LogisVert program. This initiative offers generous grants for the purchase or rental and installation of eligible central heat pumps, significantly reducing your project cost.
Thanks to these financial incentives, upgrading your system is a smart and cost-effective decision when replacing your furnace.
When should you replace your central system?
If your furnace is over 15 years old or your heating costs are rising, consider upgrading your entire central system. Adding a central heat pump modernizes your setup and helps maximize your long-term savings.
Adding a central heat pump when replacing your furnace is a smart investment that enhances comfort, reduces energy consumption, and allows you to benefit from the LogisVert program grants.
