Heat Pump Cost in Ontario

Understanding the heat pump cost in Ontario is a key step for homeowners interested in upgrading their heating and cooling system to an industry-leading energy-efficient solution.

The popularity of heat pumps in Ontario has skyrocketed in recent years as these cost-effective and energy-efficient systems have proven to be a trusted choice for many homeowners. Heat pumps are a 2-in-1 systems that will keep you comfortable all year-round with their ability to heat your home during the cold months and switch to air conditioning mode during the summer. Additionally, the Canadian Government and Enbridge Gas initiated a new program in 2023 called the Greener Homes Grant that allows Canadian homeowners to take advantage of up to $7,100 in heat pump rebates for eligible equipment.

Heat Pump Cost in Ontario

But you might be wondering, what is the heat pump cost in Ontario? Follow along to learn about the various factors that affect heat pump cost as well as how you can upgrade to a heat pump cost-effectively.

The cost to install or replace a ducted heat pump in Ontario can range from $6,700 to $12,000, with the average cost being $8,500.

Factors Influencing Heat Pump Cost

Type of heat pump

The two main types of heat pumps are geothermal and air-source. Geothermal heat pumps are more expensive to install, but they are more efficient in extreme cold temperatures. Note that air-source heat pumps still provide considerable energy savings when compared with traditional heating and cooling systems. There is also a price difference to consider between packaged, split, and dual-fuel systems.

Labor cost

The labor cost for heat pumps can vary greatly based on the type of installation. Labour costs are determined on a case-by-case basis as some installations are simple and less labor-intensive, while others require significantly more work. For example, geothermal heat pumps require digging and excavation, in some cases require replacement or additional ductwork, and if you’re adding an electrical unit in an old home it may require an electrical panel upgrade. The installation cost for particularly labor-intensive installations can be double or triple the cost of a standard installation.

Efficiency level

The efficiency level of heat pumps manufactured in 2023 or later is marked by a SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating 2) rating. Higher efficiency levels mean savings on operating costs, but units with high SEER2 ratings also have a higher upfront cost. Of course, the cost difference of efficient systems will be recouped with savings on your monthly utility bills.

Size of space

The size of the space that you’re heating or cooling will affect the heat pump cost. A large heat pump that will heat and cool your entire home will cost more than a small heat pump used to heat or cool a single room.
