Save More Every Season with Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps

You know how unpredictable the weather can be in Airdrie. From icy winters to hot summers keeping your home comfortable can be costly especially with anticipated energy increases.

Airdrie Air offers an efficient solution that cuts your energy bills without sacrificing comfort. Our cold climate air source heat pumps are designed to perform even when temperatures drop to minus 25 degrees Celsius.

Cold climate air source heat pumps extract thermal energy from the air to heat your home efficiently during cold months and provide cooling during summer. With a hybrid configuration, the heat pump handles up to 90 percent of your heating and all of your cooling needs.

Heat Pumps Provide Cooling with the Option for Heating

In Alberta a cold climate heat pump can be used for heating (even when it’s as cold as -15C). With the ability to heat and cool your home you have the option of heating your home with your furnace when natural gas prices are lower than electricity consumption. Should energy prices “flip” or you install solar panels you can set the heat pump to run using AC power - saving you money on energy.

Homes with solar panels are ideally set to use heat pumps year-round, and energy costs will be much lower than homes using natural gas as the heat source.

 

Why Home Owners Choose Heat Pumps

  • Flexibility of choosing to heat using natural gas or electricity depending on market price
  • Similar price point to a conventional AC unit
  • Reliable performance through Alberta winters
  • Quiet and efficient comfort year round
  • Slimmer side profile (requiring less space) than standard AC unit
  • Reduced dependence on fossil fuel heating systems
 

Can Heat Pumps Replace Natural Gas Furnaces in Alberta?

As of this writing, natural gas is a cheaper alternative to run a furnace to provide heating in a typical home than electricity to operate a heat pump. However, as we’ve witnessed with gas and oil prices the market is volatile and low natural gas price in the future is not a guarantee.

How Can Heat Pumps Reduce Energy Cost?

With emerging alternative, clean energy sources such as solar power (which can include government grants for solar panels) the energy market is rapidly changing. Homes with solar panels are ideally set to use heat pumps year-round, and energy costs will be much lower than homes using natural gas as the heat source.

Heat Pumps Are the New Standard for Cooling

Heat pumps are relative in price when compared to a standard AC unit. By choosing to replace a conventional central air conditioning unit with a heat pump you’ll have flexibility if the energy market changes. Should energy prices “flip” (electricity becomes cheaper than natural gas for heating) or you install solar panels you can set the heat pump to run using AC power saving you money on energy.
